After grief and worries
Madeleine is fated to associate with two women
Two weeks ago Princess Madeleine (30) enchanted all of Sweden with her engagement. Banker Chris O'Neill (38) will give her the yes-word next summer.
"The wedding is likely to take place in June, " says Sweden's royal house expert Johan T. Lindwall (41).
And he reveals: "Nobody expected a royal wedding in 2013, because King Carl Gustaf is celebrating his 40th jubilee on 15th September. But the princess wants to marry and have children. To fulfill her wish, Chris has now made his request. He's a great man and fits her perfectly. "
The engagement - it is truly a triumph of love. And also a great triumph over two rivals: Two young women probably followed the announcement with great interest.
One is Sofia Hellqvist (27), the girlfriend of Madeleine's brother Carl Philip (33). From Sweden one hears that Madeleine allegedly displeases it, as Sofia Carl Philip treats.
Court expert Lindwall comments: "He is very shy and Sofia patronizes him." Madeleine should be worried about that. But now she has put off with their engagement fast marriage plans of Sofia and Carl Philip once on ice.
Two royal weddings a year are not common. Now Carl Philip has more time to test his love. If he gets engaged, then probably in autumn, typed Johan T. Lindwall.
The second young woman who has certainly been interested in Madeleine's engagement is Stephanie af Klercker, 29, once the Princess's best friend. But the friendship collapsed when Stephanie got together with Jonas Bergström (33). With Madeleine's ex-fiancee, who once cheated on her and broke her heart.
And just now, just four days after the engagement in the royal house, Jonas also announces his engagement with Stephanie! "Sweden is embarrassed by this point in time, " explains Johan T. Lindwall.
Princess Madeleine did not comment on that. Why? The painful topic Jonas is also past.
Now she only has eyes for her Chris. Truly a triumph of love.
