Queen Silvia of Sweden caused a stir with a bloodshot eye during the state visit of the new Finnish President Alexander Stubb and his wife Suzanne Innes-Stubb in Stockholm on Tuesday. The wildest theories were circulating.

According to the palace, however, there was no cause for concern. The 80-year-old queen's red eye was not dangerous, but was caused by a cold draught.

"Cold draught"
Court spokeswoman Margareta Thorgren told the newspaper "Svensk Damtidning": "The Queen has caught a cold draught in her eye. Otherwise the Queen is fine."
