Emil do ypu know the poem?
 
The Queen surprised her husband by making a short speech fraught with warmth and love, and ended with the following verse in English:

Count the garden by the flowers
never by the leaves that fall.
Count the days by golden hours
don't remember clouds at all.
Count your nights by stars, not shadows.
Count your life with smiles, not tears.
And with joy on every birthday
Count your age by friends, not years.
 
no Silvia didn´t write it herself. She said that she found it and I think its written by an british man

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!
 
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"
 
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.
 
I agree. I liked her in that short, almost croppy style of hair. More adorable.
 
today its Carl Gustafs birthday this is what it looked like when he turned 50

was victoria and carl philip also in the play?
Yes they were. Victoria had a leading role and Carl Philip performed a rap song wearing a mustache :) I´ll see if I can find some pics
