[LadyFinn]

On her website she has information available about piece both in English and Swedish. She tells what the text says and how it was made. (I am on my phone and don't have the link here otherwise I would post it)

I have posted the link to the information about the portrait in my earlier post, there is a big zipped file.

About the portrait at today's Expressen Kvällsposten.

While Victoria was on Saturday at the Volvo Ocean Race, Daniel visited the traditional Ockelbo Summer Market.

Arbetarbladet tells at their Facebook, that they have been seen at the shopping center Gallerian Nian in Gävle and Växbo Lin linen factory and shop in Bollnäs last week.

Artist Marie Louise Kold about the portrait of Estelle at her Facebook:
"I'm a bit overwhelmed, and very touched, by all the attention (both personal, in Swedish media, and on a lot of international blogs) and the positive reactions I have received after the unveiling of my portrait of HRH Princess Estelle. However – following a lot of curious questions and online speculation, I must say that I cannot confirm the widespread rumour that the artwork was HRH Prince Daniel's anniversary gift for his wife. While it would be wonderful to say so – I simply don't know.
And to all the people wondering about the price... all I can reveal is that it is not my most expensive portrait to date. That was created some years ago for Mrs. Bernstein, the wife of the (then) US Ambassador to Denmark. Another exciting commission"

Marie Louise Kold has been asked for many interviews because of the Estelle portrait. To Värnamo Nyheter she tells:
- Daniel did not see the artwork until it was delivered, and then he seemed pleasantly surprised.
Marie Louise says she had to work a portion not to stare up at the fact that it was the Crown Princess couple who was her
customer.
- It did not feel like the right time to fail. But we agreed that it was done well than that it was done quickly.
The biggest challenge was to get the portrait to look like Princess Estelle.
- It is important to capture the essence of the person. In this case, it felt extra special because it involves both a portrait of a little girl who, like all children have great discovery lust - but also a portrait of a future queen.
Marie Louise Kold didn't want to reveal the price which the Crown Princess Couple had to pay for the artwork.
- But they got no special price, I priced for normal tariff.

According to her, the portrait will be in good company at the Haga Palace.
- I got a tour at the Palace and the Crown Princess couple has very exciting modern art at their home, says Marie Louise Kold.

Sweden won gold in football at the UEFA European Under-21 Championship a week ago.
Håkan Ericson, the coach of the team, has told to Corren about the phone call he got from Victoria and Daniel. After they had landed at Bromma airport and were at the bus, his phone rang.
- It was a secret number on the display. I was thinking not to answer, but did it with a short, a little stressed "Håkan" ...

It was Crown Princess Victoria.
- I was quite flabbergasted. She congratulated us to the amazing we made in the Czech Republic. Prince Daniel praised us for our calmness at the penalties. We talked at least eight to ten minutes. My immediate surroundings of the bus had no idea who it was until I asked "has the crown princess seen all the matches?" It became pretty quiet then, says Håkan with a smile.

Expressen tells that Victoria took Estelle to a "safari" yesterday.

When the weather was at its worst, they made an excursion on the island. Victoria showed her daughter the same places as the royal couple showed herself once when she was the same age as Estelle.
It's very seldom we see Victoria behind the wheel. At least not in the photos. Sure, she has a driving license, but over the years she has chosen not to put herself behind the wheel very often.
When other parts of Sweden have had blue skies and sunshine it has rained in Öland. Victoria and the rest of the family have not been able to do much more than to enjoy the days off in their Villa Skönvik at Solliden Palace area.
When Daniel yesterday would congratulate Victoria Day's founder Kay Wiestål on his 75th birthday, Victoria took Estelle on their own adventures. Victoria took the family's old Jeep from 1985 up from Villa Skönvik to the excursion destination: One of Sollidens windmills.
Victoria and Estelle had nanny Katie Millington with them. When they came up on Alvaret Victoria pointed eagerly to different places and Estelle laughed when her mother explained what they passed and then stopped at the gate to Solliden to then go into the old mill.
After the visit Victoria carried Estelle down the stairs so that she would not fall and gave her daughter a big hug.

Johan T Lindwall writes that Daniel hit the ball further than most and the one of the holes he hit so far that he accidentally hit into the path that went in front of his and Peter Forsberg's ball. Not even Daniel had thought he would have such a great impact.
Afterwards, he and the rest of the players were happy and documents at the Victoria Golf today show that Prince Daniel is almost a thoroughbred professional in golf. The prince has 4 as handicap. Lindwall also writes that Daniel's handicap has been a well kept secret - that isn't true, Daniel has spoken about his handicap many times when it has been asked.
- Four is incredibly good. What I have heard from others is that he is incredibly skilled, says golf professional Joakim Haeggman, the first Swede in Europe's Ryder Cup team.
Is it difficult to get down to handicap 4 in golf?
-Yes, it is not easy. It requires both training and great talent. Daniel obviously has that. To be a non-pro he belongs to the ultimate amateur elite of any club in Sweden.
Margareta Thorgren, director of the press department:
- Prince Daniel has a big interest in golf and is recognized as skilled. He has played for many years and is an experienced player.

I saw the write ups about Victoria (Vickan) H & M gown for C-P's wedding. It struck me as different and I liked it for a summer wedding. The Connaught Tiara was a great touch. H&M must have received a lot of attention. Is there a Kate effect when the Swedish royal ladies wear something?

Unless you are a personal friend and CP Victoria has asked you to call her "Vickan" why not just use her proper name.

Polls are made from all kinds of things. The Swedish Union of Tenants ordered a poll from TNS Sifo: Who is the person you want as your neighbour?
The respondents have had to choose between 44 famous Swedes or specify their own candidate.
According to the poll Mark Levengood (the man who hosted Victoria's birthday concert) is the person most Swedes want to have as their neighbour. 26 percent of Swedes would like to have him as a neighbor. Second most popular is Crown Princess Victoria with 19 percent. Former NHL-hockey star Peter Forsberg came third.

I guess that's because Victoria is really like a girl living next door!

Victoria, Daniel and Estelle in Öland, photos put to internet 10th July. According to the photo text, they were having pancakes. It looks that they were with friends, the man looks very much like Peder Dinkelspiel.

In the second photo it seems that Victoria is aware of the camera, and she also smiles very friendly... I guess it was taken by her friends...it looks like they all ate crepes... delicious!

 

[LadyFinn]

The photos have been taken by a tourist, who has posted several albums of his trip to Sweden this summer to the internet.

 

[Marty91charmed]

It was great from Victoria to just smile and carry on instead of looking grumpy or angry! Such a wonderful woman she is!

 

[LadyFinn]

The photos have been taken at The Crêperie which is located at the gates to the Solliden Palace gardens.

OKQ8 and Yougov made a survey what and with whom the Swedes would eat at the gas stations. Young people between 18 and 34 years are the most usual people to eat at the gas stations. It is Crown Princess Victoria that stands highest in the course of 25 per cent of the votes at with whom people would most preferably eat with. Second and third are footballer Zlatan Ibrahimovic and cross country skier Charlotte Kalla with 17 percent and 12 percent.
Hot dogs are by far the most popular food eaten at the gas station bars and cafeterias.

Yes, they are new. According to today's Expressen several photo agencies have photos of Victoria, Daniel and Estelle with friends in St. Tropez. I think they have been taken yesterday.
Carl Philip and Sofia have been photographed with the king and queen in St. Tropez.

[HereditaryPrincess]

I was in St. Tropez a couple of weeks ago and was at Pampelonne beach. The colour of the sea is amazing, it's almost tropical (and it's quite warm and shallow as well so it's perfect for little children like Estelle, they can go out quite far and are still able to stand up in the water).

Estelle is adorable and it looked as if she's having fun on her holiday. I wonder if they will join the rest of the SRF in St. Maxime. It's not very far from St. Tropez.
