Victoria and Daniel's Relationship - Page 2

As we are on the topic of Princess Victoria and marriage I will post related information from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria,_Crown_Princess_of_Sweden

Marriage speculation
Though the Crown Princess Victoria has long refused to discuss her private life, she frequently has been the object of press speculation regarding purported romances. Since 2002, she has been linked to Daniel Westling, a personal trainer and gym owner. When news about her relationship with Westling first broke, the Crown Princess said, "We're good friends, but I'm not going to say any more." However, in an interview on Sweden's TV4 in 2004, she did say that much of the criticism directed at Westling for being unsophisticated and uneducated was unfair. "I understand that there is speculation but sometimes there must be fairness too," she said. Later that year, the Swedish newspaper Expressen reported that the couple intended to announce their engagement in early 2005 and marry the following summer but no such announcements were made.
During her April 2005 visit to the World Exposition Aichi in Nagakute, the Crown Princess was interviewed by Mikio Yikuma, a reporter with the Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun. Yikuma brought up the subject of royals marrying commoners, to which the princess responded, "I think the general idea of Swedes is that it's the modern way to marry someone that you love, not necessarily where she or he comes from." Though she did not mention Westling by name, the Crown Princess did admit, "There is someone in my life" but that marriage was not on her mind. The interview was conducted at the Swedish embassy in Tokyo and published in Yomiuri Shimbun on 18.04.2005.

I hope so

Let's just say I would not be suprised if we have an engagement (/wedding) of Victoria in 2007

I keep my fingers crossed.

I hope that Victoria marries soon being that she'll be the furture Queen of Sweden and she have a prince to reign with her over Sweden and that they will have an heir and other children to make the monarchy a little more secure.

The earliest a wedding will take place will be July. Oh yes you are welcome Yennie and you are sweet too for constantly posting news and photographs of the Royal Family.

Does anyone know where Princess Madeleine and Jonas are on holiday and Prince Carl Philip and Emma?

BTW Happy New Year to everyone here!

I'm getting giddy with excitement at the prospect of an imminent engagement.

You are not the only one, Alisa!

An official announcement for a royal wedding would be a great way to begin this year!!!

ZandraRae · #33 01-01-2007, 12:00 PM

Well, I for one hope there is no engagement coming up. Of course I want Victoria to be happy, but I don't think Daniel is the guy for her.

HRH Kerry · #34 01-01-2007, 05:56 PM

I'll be glad when something, anything is announced.

mixer2002de · #35 01-01-2007, 07:33 PM

Why on earth should Victoria abdicate?

Daniel is not a criminal, hasn't got a terrible past, isn't connected with 'suspicious' people, so why would Victoria abdicate in order to marry him?

mixer2002de · #38 01-02-2007, 08:47 AM

Maybe because he would fell uncomfortable as prince consort?

I dont think she should abdicate because of him. Imo he better get use to the whole thing or find a new girlfriend :)
But I dont think he couldnt learn to live with it, I´m sure he will learn just like so may other prince consorts and princesses have done!
