On January 25, 2012, His Royal Highness Prince Carl Philip of Sweden attended the 2012 Årets Kock (Chef of the Year) Award held at the Stockholm Waterfront.  The winner of the award receives the Gastronomic Academy Dairy Medal and the title of, well, Chef of the Year.  The winner this year was Klas Lindberg.

Meanwhile, His Royal Highness Prince Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy revealed to an Italian magazine that he had a tumor up his nose.

In early December 2011, the Italian prince without a throne was hospitalized in Geneva to remove the problem and as a result the doctors “…removed three quarters of the cartilage in his nose and part of his bone…”  Today, Prince Emanuele is doing great and continues to film his reality show which airs in Italy.  To read more about the prince’s hospital stay in Geneva please click here.
