Queen Silvia is Sweden’s longest serving queen. And over the years has come to know the royal palace very well. Recently she said that it is haunted. She describes the ghosts as “small friends”and very friendly, but she often feels as if she is never completely alone in the palace. She also says that it’s can be very exciting and not scary at all.
