In a much unexpected yet historical and gripping occasion, the monarch of Icadias, Queen Catherine took the incentive to broadcast a public speech, addressing Muslim Swedes with a warm Eid Al-Fitr speech and an assuring urge to prioritize their health and security in the face of an upcoming religious celebration. An excerpt from the queen's five minutes long address wrote, "As the world, and us Swedes continue our fight against the invisible enemy, I dearly urge for all Muslims in this country to take care of yourself, your families and closed ones. Let us all celebrate this occasion as we do with little harm and lots of harmony".

Based from her office in Stockholm Palace, the queen, beautifully suited in a white long sleeve dress appeared both cheerful and calm as she delivered her speech in a sitting position. Adding to the ray of delight was the sight of Princess Catherine, the queen's eldest two year old daughter who appeared seated on her mother's lap while being carefully held in place.

Since her ascension upon the abdication of her sister, Catherine has been primarily known and has been both occasionally criticised and at the same time praised for her close association to the Islamic religion and its adherents. From her successfully published memoir based on criticism towards Islamophobia and Islamic terrorism to her somewhat close personal relationship with the royal family of Brunei, the queen has been consistent in her stand against rising global Islamic fundamentalism and at the same time, in defense of the groups of Muslims in Icadias facing negative perspectives and views from the common public.

The speech, which was broadcasted throughout all national television channels aired at 8:40 PM and was exclusively televised in both Swedish and English languages.
