King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden presented the Prince Eugene Medals (Prins Eugen-medaljenat) in a ceremony at the Royal Palace in Stockholm. Last year, due to the pandemic, the medal ceremony did not take place. For that reason, the 2020 medalists received their medals on August 25, 2021. The 2021 medalists will receive their medals on November 5, 2021. The Prince Eugene Medal was instituted by Gustav V to mark the 80th birthday of Prince Eugene in 1945.
