Sweden's couple
Around 2000 gifts, mainly from Sweden but also from many other countries, were given to Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and her husband Prince Daniel for their wedding in June . But now they did not transfer the crochet pot holders, the handmade candlesticks or the hand-decorated ones Toaster in her household. Therefore, the well-intentioned gifts are still stored in the mighty Stockholm City Palace, where now 200 original pieces from this Presents collection will be publicly exhibited by the end of the year. The private patrons of wool socks, picture frames, glasses, painted plates and wooden horses will be present in the gifts show in the Mirror hall of the castle, however, not mentioned. The hobby painters, knit and crochet ladies thus remain anonymous and gain by their joy of donation no form of celebrity or public recognition. But they should, so it is from the palace, at some point in the near future at least get a thank you letter from the newlyweds. Because much of what it looks like curious rather than beautiful, multiply the critical voices on the Internet. "What should Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and Prince Daniel with all the clutter?", As disrespectful. "Things they can not possibly take all of them to their Haga Castle" are speculated and advised: "It's best to auction everything very quickly - for a good cause. Then the general public also has something of it! "
