Wow! It really is as if he had been a prince from birth. He is both down-to-earth and charismatic, a bit shy and confident at the right moment.
Victoria was wise in her choice. :flowers:

I agree:flowers: He seems to be a genuine nice person. Grounded and pleasant. Handsome too. I like him. They are a great couple. good :lucky: to them! they've earned it.

By the way, LadyFinn - Thanks a lot for all the great updates! They are very appreciated :flowers: :flowers:

The marketing director of the city of Kuopio, Kirsi Soininen, told in the morning that she believes that the prince's visit will bring publicity to Kuopio.
- This is an amazing opportunity to get publicity for the city. Healthy and thriving urban culture should be supported, and I hope that the prince's visit will provide the matter forward.
Ms. Soininen told also that they found out in advance how the prince should be called.
The expressions Your Royal Highness or Ers Kungliga Höghet can be used onlyonce. After that prince Daniel.

Daniel did not want to receive the honorary title "Länkiritari", which Puijo Symposium organizers wanted to give him. It was planned that Daniel takes the confession, and it included getting collars at the reception of the city of Kuopio. But Daniel announced on Tuesday that he refuses of the honorary title, because of the stir his studying has raised in Sweden as well as the lack of experience in the field of medicine.

Daniel gave an interview to Savon Sanomat. He said he was very impressed about the symposium:
- I heard about the Congress, and got the invitation, and thought immediately it was very interesting. It is impressive that the world's most influential researchers in the field participate at the symposium. It is very important that people know that it is never too late to start a fitness and strength training in order to obtain health, summed Daniel up the morning presentations.
According to Daniel is a big challenge to motivate people to exercise more, even if the physical connection of disease prevention is well known.
- It's not easy to start, if you have never moved and exercised. Spontaneous physical activity everyday life, using stairs, and walk instead driving with a car could be a key to get into this.

Daniel gave an interview to Savon Sanomat and told that although he travels a lot and the schedule is often busy, he always tries to find time to exercise. It happens often late in the evening or early in the morning, but because he knows it´s important, he always finds the time. In Kuopio he didn´t have time to jog at Väinölänniemi, he arrived at 01.30 and the symposium began at 08.00. Daniel said that he slept barely four hours.
Daniel said that the first year as a prince has been a very good year.

Daniel also refused to comment in any way the Swedish royal family's role in the media stir lately. He stressed that he wanted to focus the issues of the symposium, aging and exercise. Daniel showed also interest in the Haminalahti hunting lodge history, he said that he hunts sometimes.

Mayor Petteri Paronen said he had an interesting conversation with Daniel.
- He is truly genuinely interested in psysical Exercise, and considered this as a fine opportunity to meet with top researchers in the field. He is a very nice man.

Daniel went to a golf course in Öland yesterday morning at seven o´clock, and an Aftonbladet photographer was waiting him there (!). Daniel laughed to him: I came here early to avoid the photographers!
Victoria and Daniel had arrived to Öland at the weekend.

Daniel was at his favourite hobby, playing golf again on Sunday. I found this blog where a girl who works at the golf course tells about how Daniel came to play golf with some friends and she sold a hot dog for him. Daniel had also said that "My wife, she's actually really good to hit the (golf ball). But she would never go out on the track, but she has a great swing!"
- What a story!

Daniel was at 1st June with his mother and sister Anna watching the final of GD/GIF-olympiad in Gävle, they were watching Anna´s daughter competing.

Daniel said yesterday at the gala in his speech:
"To dare to bet all the money you have and all your time to fulfill your mission and your dream is very courageous. Unfortunately, there are a lot who fail because of the risk of failure and possible shame as it would entail."

And according to the website of the association it happened last Friday, 6th January, the Epiphany day.
"Prince Daniel came up to greet us. He said he had followed the development of our association and believed that it has a very interesting concept. There were many who wanted to talk and take pictures with him, and all who wished had the chance".

Today Daniel visit Sandvik at Sandviken:
Prins Daniel besökte Sandvik - Sveriges Kungahus

More about the visit:
Daniel is doing now a series of visits to various industries in the country. Today he visited Sandvik, to see what is happening inside the gates at Sandvik, employer for so many people from Ockelbo. He has obviously asked himself from the group's CEO Olof Faxander on to make the visit.
At 10 o'clock he arrived with a marshal and was welcomed by Olof Faxander who held an introductory speech. Then he went for a tour.
After the lunch at the canteen to Sandvik Materials Technology, where CEO Jonas Gustavsson presented the business.
- The Prince was very interested, curious, and asked many questions. He thought it was great that we could have such a big industry in a small town, says Anders Wallin, director of communications in Sandvik.
But there was something else that delighted Daniel as much: to meet so many of his childhood friends from Ockelbo who now work at Sandvik. He stopped to talk to them.
- Olof Faxander also thought the visit was nice and especially that the prince was so interested in what we do, says Anders Wallin.
At 15.00 Daniel left Sandviken.
Where he went then, to Ockelbo or Stockholm?
- He went home, to Stockholm, said Anders Wallin.

Prince Daniel had to cancel his participation at the Swedish Sports Gala today, just an hour before the gala started. Ulrika Näsholm from the court told to Iltasanomat, that Daniel has a stomach flu, which he apparently has got from something he has eaten. According to Näsholm, Daniel hasn´t met any small children during the near days, so he can´t have gotten it from them. Näsholm told also that Daniel didn´t want to attend because he didn´t want transmit the flu to the other participants of the gala. Näsholm said that the stomach flu has nothing to do with Daniel´s kidney transplant and that he wasn´t feeling very ill. Daniel should have attended the gala with prince Carl Philip.
