The 30th birthday - 14 July, 2007

[Hans-Rickard]

Please, let us in the swedish people and victorias family celebrate her 30:th birthday whithout any talk about wedding and children!
It is a thread about Victoria and Daniel so this descision can continue there. Thanks.

It looks like the birthday will start with traditional military celebrations and the governments congratulate in Stockholm and later in the day continue with the Victoriaday on Öland.

Oh come on...the 30th bday of an unmarried woman is nearly all over the world a reason to adress this matter. (Nearly) All have to go through that.
I am agreeing, that it shouldn´t overshadow everything...but a little teasing should be allowed
The way Victoria´s 30th bday would be celebrated by her family, we wouldn´t get to see anyway. That´s all her private matter.
We would get the good old Öland show, that is every year the same.
This year there is also a little show at Sthlm. Nice, but nothing one can discuss any further.
And on July 14th (and 15th) the pics would then speak anyway. But I dunno, what one should discuss until then.

But one can always turn to the guests. Who do you think would come? Is there really a chance for foreign guests? Wouldn´t that be already somehow confirmed.
The Farr40 schedule let me doubt, that Frederik would show up.

Hola magazine releases this article on Victoria (talking about an interview she gave to the swedish news agency TT)

The CP declares that she does not feel pressured to get married and have children. Also mentions that she understands the difficulties, for someone who hasn't been born a royal, to getting adapted and embracing that way of life (obviously referring to Daniel).

LA PRINCESA VICTORIA: 'NO ME SIENTO PRESIONADA PARA CASARME Y FORMAR UNA FAMILIA',


I am strongly opposed to the why-are-you-not-married-yet type of comments and I sincerely hope that this is the last statement Victoria has to make over that subject (sadly, i am not really optimistic about this happening).

Actually, I would like her to remain unmarried for some more years, too see if the press finally gets bored and stops talking about the same subject. May Victoria have a happy birthday.

Was this an interview for television or for a magazine? Does anybody know what she said?

[norwegianne]

VG has some of the interview: Ingen 30-årskrise for Victoria

Some of the interesting points.

* She doesn't feel pressure to get married, and to get a family together.

* No plans of an engagement exist.

* The first time she saw a cell phone with a camera, showed to her on a studyvisit, she thought of how horrible they were and not fantastic as had likely been the intention of the person showing it to her.

Hmz, sticking to the royal tradition of hating camera's then, no matter what form

OR announce to all of Sweden saying that she with child and getting married like in 5 months? But then that would not make sense.

That's the only possiable way an engagment would happend. Then we can all thank Daniel.

...Strange situation.

Yes Kelly, I posted the link to Hola's article on that subject.

No clue if that wish will come true for little Vicky

[Aurora810]

Have any other royals from other countries been reported to be there? I did read in Lena's post on page 1 that some reporter "thought" that some Norwegian and Danish royals might be there. But I was wondering about some actual confirmation on who was expected? I did look back at previous birthday threads and I noticed that for Victoria's 25th birthday there were royals from Norway, Belgium, Greece, and the Netherlands. I have a strong feeling we will definitely see at least a couple royals from Norway on Saturday. My thinking is that Norway has had 2 big birthday celebrations both of which Victoria attended it seems only fair that they would send one or two of their royals to her birthday celebrations.

I must say this seems somewhat low-key. It just seems like it's going to be very similar to her other birthday celebrations. But I actually prefer it that way, Victoria is young and should also be allowed to celebrate in a more private way with friends and not have some long drawn out celebrations like the older generation does.

[ZandraRae]

I was actually thinking the opposite Aurora. I am hoping for a huge celebration. Victoria deserves one! She is every inch a Crown Princess, and she should have a lavish party. I think we definitely will see royals from Norway and Denmark. But as for tiaras, I doubt it. :(
