The King's 50th Birthday Celebrations - April 1996

[Yennie]

Madeleine in the play that took place on "Dramaten".
Both Madeleine, Victoria and Carl Philip had roles in the play.

Do we know all of the people on the first page?

Honestly Madeleine looked much more likeable when she was 13-16 (17)...and that´s not just because a girl is cuter as child/teenager!

[Yennie]

yeah, in a away Madeleine looked more relaxed and friendly when she was younger. Maybe she´s not comfortable beeing in the spotlight nowadays, and therefor arent as "sparkling"

[Lena]

Yes, that´s in a way true. In recent years Madeleine became the star of the Royal house... Magazines like Point de Vue or Hola are publishing issues, with ten sites of Madeleine-pictures, she´s always among the sexiest women, teenager and twens admire her....and it seems as if she want to keep up this image with all her power, maybe she fears negative headlines, in which she doesn´t come out as "perfect beauty", that could also be a reason for her behaviour after her exam. Fact is, that she tries really hard to be beautiful....hair-dyeing, sun-tanning, sports, make-up, expensive clothes and shoes...actually there´s nothing wrong with that and of course a lot of girls are doing that too, but Madeleine looked IMO better in her natural style, which she prefered as teenager (and which she sometimes still has...for example at the walking pictures with Jonas-from the beginning of this summer or at the pictures from the midsummer-party).
Another thing might be, that through the hunt of the media, it became really hard for to be relaxed, and so her smile looks sometimes not genuine.

[Dennism]

I agree. I liked her in that short, almost croppy style of hair. More adorable.

Probably not, maybe when/if he celebrates his 75th bithday.

[Lena]

Hm, I wouldn´t be surprised, when there would be a big party. Maybe not as big as the party to his 50th birthday, but I´ve a lot of hope. The king likes big and special jubilee parties...and king Harald, queen Beatrix and queen Margrethe have also celebrated their 60th birthdays quite big and with a lot of Royals (the swedish king was present at all parties)

[Josefine]

I hope we will see a big party

Who is the lady who talk to prince Albert? http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...chmentid=38940

Princess's Caroline top dress seems made by kind of polar tissue..it should make her warm enough without needed many layers of cloths, a smarth choice. She looked very elegant and also chic. http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=38934
