Does anyone know exactly what this 'Queen School' education entails?

I was dreaming that Daniel might be slowing leaving .. oh well. I just can not see him as Prince Consort - no matter how much I try.

Everything John T. Lindwall writes has to be taken with a grain of salt - his information usually is based on what he calls in this article (quote) "my sources at the Palace", meaning of course: It's practically gossip, no official confirmation from the Royal Court Press Department whatsoever.
As far as CP Victoroia's alleged "Queen school" is concerned, it's pretty much closed these days, at least as far as public appearances are concerned.
She has no more engagements in February, and as of now exactly two public appearances (both on the 12th, her nameday) have been announced for the whole month of March.
She's not officially studying at any university either. No other activities have been confirmed. Actually, there's no reliable information at all about how she spends all her free time currently.

As I've posted earlier I'm quite sure that not all her engagements are public.

Just look at a similar website, the brand new british royal site. They write:

"Details of official engagements to be undertaken by members of the Royal Family are published up to eight weeks in advance. Information available varies from engagement to engagement, depending on factors such as security."

I think its the same in Sweden.

[Boris]

Yes, it has been reported that CP Victoria does make some private visits not listed in the calendar of engagements, for example in connection with the ‘Victoria Fond’, the charitable fund for the handicapped which was established at her birth.
But as there are no full time studies, no organization she would have founded on her own initiative and would be working with continuously, no main emphasis on certain issues and now next to no public work as Crown Princess for many weeks on end, I’m wondering what her focus at the moment might be.
Wives of heirs to the throne – all of them with family – have been criticized in the past for a low profile which was still far more substantial than Victoria’s current one.

Just remember the last official date: It was only one week ago in London. I cant remember where I read it, but I think I've read something about studies in political science, but I can't remember the source of information.

Organization she would have founded on her own initiative and would be working with continuously, main emphasis on certain issues ? Is that really the mayor issue of a future Queens work?

I guess her focus for the next few weeks might be on studying or traveling.
Maybe there is no public information about that cause of secuity-reasons.

This low-profile critic has had other reasons, especially a few years ago in norway, and was very unfair and wrong. Remember the last months work of the Crown Princess and you'll find everything from state-visits, banquets, visits in Sweden, visits abroad, ceremonies, concerts, press meetings, birthday parties, anniverses, celebrations in the riksdagen, and, and, and...
No way for low-profile-critic.

The article says that the crown princess is showing a new style, unaffected and cool elegance, which is close to the style of Queen Silvia.
