Whats the difference? Well as GD said producing a heir is also a job of Victoria :p

We can perhaps presume Victoria is aware of what is expected of her. And also how to prioritize those expectations.

mixer2002de · #**123** 07-15-2006, 12:15 PM

Well she cannot wait forever

Judging from the pics, Madeleine is aging far too quickly, she is already looking older than Victoria. Her obession with tanning seems to have taken its toll, already.

It seems you have gotten a paper in your hands, telling what a crown princess by birth and future reigning Queen needs to train...maybe you can type it of for us

Ok, that was a little snappish...sorry...I accept of course your opinion and many share it. But if you ask me the difference to the other Crown Princesses (by marriage) isn´t that big. They all should cut ribbons, should meet crowds of people, and should attend conferences. IMO every crown princess should educate herself further...but everyone (in Europe) is more or less bond to the rule, that Royals should have no politicial opinion...
And because I think Victoria is not different, I think a wedding with the right guy and a baby would do wonders to her and her reputation. I could be wrong, but I think Victoria has lost a little in popularity. This pressure has caused a few not so great comments from her side. Of course the world would be better without the pressure and she shouldn´t rush into marriage...but that this concubinage in this long time and with a more and more lost seeming Daniel and a catty press does anything good for her...I don´t see it

And as Mixer said...half a decade is for most couples more than enough to know, where the direction goes...

IMO she would look more attractive with just a light tan (like Victoria). Being so dark actually makes it more difficult to see her lovely facial features. Her face gets "lost" in all the darkness if you know what I mean.

Victoria, on the other hand, looks gorgeous. Just glowing. And I noticed she's consistently been the same weight for a long time now so I think she has found a good healthy balance for her body. She has a wonderful figure.

Maybe you didn't mean it in a negative way, but this is incredibly offensive and ridiculous. So are people with dark skin just blobs of "darkness" to you?

she looks so unnatural.

LOL It looks like Madeleine is the one who wants to get engaged soon...all in white...

mixer2002de · #**129** 07-15-2006, 04:50 PM

Just curious.

She (Lena Philipsson) was singing "han jobbar i affär". When she pointed at him/the royal family she sang "Vi har ett band som ingen annan kan förstå. Det är ingenting som ni kan se och ingenting som ni kan nånsin få!". Translated into english it's "We have a bond that no one else can understand. It's nothing that you can see and nothing that you'll ever get!"

I have it as a videoclip on the computer if anyone's interested. :)

No, she wont, she can perfectly marry a commoner.

Sarrie · #**133** 07-16-2006, 05:54 AM

I think they should introduce him to the public and include him because i don't think it makes sense to introduce him only a couple of months before the wedding.

seto · #**134** 07-16-2006, 07:15 AM

I think she will marry when she is ready and no pressure will make it faster. Marriage for her is more than just for love it is for life. I am glad she and Daniel are taking their time to really know each other.

mixer2002de · #**135** 07-16-2006, 07:46 AM

after nearly 5 years they should know each other

Lena · #**136** 07-16-2006, 05:35 PM
