About what else was the article? The text under the mag on soh.se seemed to tell more. If only I could get Se&Hör :(
I dont think she was... Victoria has said things like this before. Imo its so silly that she cant even say that "yes, I´m in love with my boyfriend".
Everyone know she has one and when she says she´s in love with her dogs it just sounds stupid

Default loves dog

It just seems to me her feelings for daniel are nobodys business. Certain things should be private between two people royal or not. If she said I love him that would just lead to more prying questions.

I totally agree! Her situation is difficult enough as it is, having photographers and journalists snooping around in her private life, and the added difficulty of getting a prince consort as a husband (-> problems galore, see Denmark!).
She's a wonderful young woman, she deserves some space to breathe and privacy.

I think for everyone in her position is pretty difficult to be always replying to journalists about this and that. Who she loves or not is her own business. She's doing a great job for Sweden (I guess), and that's the most important thing.

I would say, we have seen since May 2002 several hundred pics of Daniel (well, the saints, who aren´t interested in the Royals private life of course not ) But there´s one question, I still couldn´t answer...in the very opposite to my "experiences" with his girlfriend. When I saw her the first time, I knew it at once:
What eye colour has Daniel??

I´m also quite sure, that it´s not blue or a light grey. But I´ve for example the paper edition-version of this pic, and there they look more green:

I see Lena’s “Westling-O-Meter” has risen to 50%. They must be closer to getting married. :p Anyway, this article is very interesting, and a big thank you to GrandDuchess for translating it for everyone. How long do you think it would take for this house to be ‘finished’ (i.e. decorated and have all the high-tech security implemented)? Hmm, I've hot a few ideas about this scenario.

When one considers, that the Westling-o-meter is a parameter, that depends on the moods of a crazy chick, then one can see, why it´s so unstable
It rose, because Victoria is 100% happy these days (see the interview in the interview-thread) and because the story about the Villa was repeated. An other story tomorrow could bring it back to 30%
You bring here an interesting aspect up, my dear Danielle. Such a renovation would take a few months. BUT Imo such a project could be only done in the engagement time (when they would move now, they could also announce the engagement at once...would be the same. And when the work at the villa would be started or finished after the wedding, then Daniel and Victoria, then crown princely couple, would have to live in one of their mini-apartments). So my conclusion: the engagement time wouldn´t be short. This again concludes in a January/August-engagement/wedding. Or in an engagement in 2006 (wedding 2007)

Do you see any signs for such a development? Or is this just a guess from you?

Thank you very much for proving the translation, Grandduchess, but... is this Klick! magazine anything close to a reliable source? Isn't Aftonbladet one of those crazy tabloids?... Just asking...

Well Aftonbladet is not the original source saying that Crown Princess Victoria will take over Villa Beylon from Princess Christina. Svensk Damtidning, who is the most reliable of all magazines writing on royals in Sweden, said quite a while ago now that this has been decided (according to their sources). So Aftonbladet is just picking up a story and continuing it. Of course we don't know if this is true yet, but I would say the chance that it is true is bigger when Svensk Damtidning has written about it, and not just one of the normal rags.

Question Lena

Hi Lena, you said in the first set of photographs ypu posted that Daniel was with Benny his former co-owner. So has Benny sold his shares in the gyms they own together? Thank you.

So it seems. Currently it´s said, that Daniel owns 70 %, a certain Patrik Vrbanc 15 % and a certain Lars Hellström also 15 %
I can´t say though, if Benny is still involved in Master Training, or if he started a new project.

Oh, I see. Thanks for explaining it to me
