We are opening the 3rd thread on crown princess Victoria and Daniel Westling.

Yennie · #2 07-14-2005, 06:24 AM

Aftonbladet writes a blabla article about Victoria and Daniel spending time together at Solliden. They are staying at "their secret love nest" (=the beach house) and are having fantastic time with friends and family.
A few days ago Daniel and Karl Johan "H&M" Persson played golf together and bought strawberrys in Borgholm

Here is Victoria’s and Daniel’s secret ”love nest”

BORGHOLM
Here is Victoria’s and Daniel’s secret “love nest”. Down by the King’s private boathouse, they Crown Princess and her boyfriend enjoys the sun and swimming.

Today Crown Princess Victoria turns 28 years old and during the afternoon she will be celebrated at Borgholm’s sports park with pomp and circumstance.

Together with her boyfriend Daniel Westling, she has had a fantastic summer week on Öland. The couple fills the sunny days with long walks, golf, running and shopping. But when Victoria and Daniel want to be on their own, they go to a place that not many know of – their “love nest”.

Down by the King’s boathouse, close to Solliden Palace, the couple go water skiing or sunbathing on the King’s yacht or in the chairs by the jetty.

Romantic swims
There are usually also romantic swims in the sunset. The luxurious boathouse is decorated in an elegant archipelago style and in the large living room there is a large fireplace. On the veranda outside, the King hosts lunches where the children and their partners attend.

The food is made in the villa by Solliden’s own chefs and only consists of the most exclusive produce. At the boathouse, Victoria and Daniel spend time with their friends, among them the H&M billionaire and heir Karl Johan Persson. The other day he and Daniel played golf before they bought strawberries for Queen Silvia. The guys also bought an Aftonbladet.

On Öland they are proud that the Crown Princess and her boyfriend chooses to spend their time there.
- She is a great ambassador for the island. The Royal Family and their friends are always welcome to us, says Kjell Gehammar, director at Strand Hotel in Borgholm.

It is okay to translate articles or interviews etc, otherwise there wouldn't be much info to provide our non Swedish speaking members... So a rule like that would be impossible.

This is what my notice that I posted earlier said:
- If you post an article in another language than English, provide a translation or a summary (entire articles may be posted if they are translated)

Daniel on Öland

Expressen met Daniel at Ekerum’s golf course yesterday; he was there with some friends. Since arriving at Öland he has done many rounds on the course.

- I have it very good here
- Today I have just stood here and putted a little

He also said that the media image of him isn’t right, often being portrayed as shy and not saying very many words, and not liking the attention.

- Shy isn’t right at all. Talk about media image

On the rumours of an engagement and wedding, Daniel said:
- I’m sure you’ll get to know me with time.

On the question if he could pose for a picture without the cap, he kindly refuses with the answer:
- My hair is so tousled today; I don’t feel very in shape.

He asks the Expressen reporter how long they will remain on Öland, and the reply must’ve been to his liking since he replied that it was good and meant that one would finally get some vacation.

Read the full article (in Swedish) here: http://www.expressen.se/index.jsp?a=405154

I attach the picture in case the image link won't work later.

Just a thought :)

The men with Daniel in the lastest pics: is that Silvias cousin and his son?
When I have been on Öland for Victorias birthday, everytime this man and his sons(with red hair) has been sitting right behind the royal family.

Is it Silvias cousin Thomas Sommerlath?
I know I asked Ritva one time but I can´t remember the answer...

Daniel and a friend drove around on Öland without their seatbelts on.
"If we had seen him he would have got a 600 sek ticket" said the police

Daniel and his friend had been playing golf and on the way back to Solliden they stoped to buy some strawberrys and newspapers,

Hi all, Im back from Peru!
When I was there I saw a mag on the stand. The cover said: Entre el trono y el amor. I think that means: enter the throne and love.

Does someone know spanish, or know what the were talking about? I have posted the link for a sumury of the artical from COSAS.

A perfect role model! Don't you think too? Isn't there a big campaign running for seatbealts in the whole EU?

That's all old new. But here my translation:

' Between the throne and love

The heiress to the Swedish throne finds herself in a difficult moment. One one side, she is in love and happy that her love is returned; but on the other side her father is not disposed to accept that the future Queen weds a playboy. Once again, it's duty versus love.'

I wonder what Daniel is doing to the man on the left in the second picture? Is it a bodyguard? Why does he touch him?

Perhaps they just bumped into eachother. Or they are about to fight

I think that man is Silvias cousin, so they probably knows eachother quite well.

Well, they don't look very relaxed. Maybe because of the Paparazzis... I would probably become crazy if people would take pictures of me in nearly every minute of my life. But after all I'm no crownprincess...Daniels jacket looks a bit like an old-man-outfit
