The Royal Correspondent

H.R.H. Princess Madeleine of Sweden is currently in Stockholm where she will spend the holidays with her family.  Recently, the beautiful princess was spotted at the exclusive Lydmar Hotel dining with friends. According to the Swedish magazine, Svensk Damtidning, on December 23, 2011, Princess Madeleine will attend a concert arranged by the Friends of Drottningholm Theatre at the Drottningholm Royal Chapel.

It is unknown how long the princess will stay in Sweden; however, Bertil Ternert, a palace spokesman, noted that she has a full-time job in New York City working with the World Childhood Foundation… so basically she will return to the United States after the holidays.  For how long?  Who knows.

First, on October 12, 2011, T.M.s King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia  visited Västmanland (a rough translation):

Their majesties day began in Köping where Governor Ingemar Skogö met up and welcomed the King and Queen. This was followed by a morning where the King and Queen briefed on important issues in Västmanlandslän, including the business community and the talent. Then followed a program of car museums in Köping where Per-Olof Johansson, who is chairman of the Automotive and Technology Historical Society showed round.

 After lunch came the King and Queen to the ABB high school where the King and Queen had the opportunity to meet students and get a tour.  Then there was a visit to the Automation Center which is part of Västerås Science Park, where business and academia can meet. The royal couple were asked to see samples of industrial robots that can perform elderly care in the home.

 This was followed by a presentation on the integration of the countries in which employees from both the County Board, Housing and Municipal Commissioner told us about their work. The evening ended with a dinner at Västerås castle with the governor as a host.

This afternoon, October 13, King Carl XVI Gustaf and H.R.H. Crown Princess Victoria attended a symposium on the Royal National City Park held at the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm.  To view photos please click here.

H.R.H. Princess Madeleine of Sweden and her American boyfriend, Mr. Christopher O’Neill, are back in Sweden after a nice holiday in Italy and Austria.  This afternoon the couple attended the wedding between Natalie Rosta and Dag Werner, close friends of the princess.

According to the Swedish magazine, Svensk Damtidning, Princess Madeleine’s ex-fiance, Jonas Bergström, was there with his girlfriend (and former friend of the princess) Stephanie af Klercker.

Awkward.

Apparently, this is the first time since Princess Madeleine and Jonas Bergström have seen each other since they called off their engagement (he cheated on her months before they were to marry.)
