Speyer/Ismaning, June 15, 2026. To mark the 50th anniversary of Queen Silvia of Sweden’s accession to the throne and her accompanying golden wedding anniversary, “die aktuelle” is releasing an updated special edition of its latest issue, 25/2026, today. The revised edition provides up-to-the-minute coverage of the current celebrations in Stockholm, describes the extraordinary life story of the German-born Silvia Sommerlath, and highlights the lifetime achievements of the beloved monarch. The revised edition responds to readers’ keen interest in European royal families.
“The extraordinary journey of the young German Silvia Sommerlath to becoming one of the world’s most beloved queens has fascinated people across Europe for decades. A commoner who ultimately saved a great monarchy and thus became a role model for many of the younger princesses from other European royal houses,” says Roland Hag, editor-in-chief of “die aktuelle.” “For our readers, ‘our queen’ is a fixture in the royal world. This special anniversary edition is intended to do justice to her role and significance in an appropriate manner.”
In this updated special edition, readers will find, in addition to current coverage from Sweden, a comprehensive retrospective on Silvia’s 50 years at the side of King Carl Gustaf XVI, striking images from her life, family moments, and major royal appearances, as well as a portrait of her extensive social commitment. The special edition is being released in time for the celebrations that took place in Stockholm over the weekend in honor of the jubilee. The reprint consists of a limited edition of 100,000 copies, which will be strategically placed in retail outlets near train stations and in major cities, as well as at high-traffic sales locations, to best serve the high interest of readers.
“With this investment, we are once again underscoring that we are continuously developing our brands and strategically sharpening their profiles in the competitive landscape of people and women’s magazines,” says Nicole Schumacher, CPO and Managing Director of the KLAMBT Media Group. “Updating selected issues to cover major events—such as Queen Silvia’s 50th jubilee—is part of our strategy to offer our readers highly topical, emotionally relevant content.”
