Andrea Brodin was at charity work on Thursday evening. Metro and Giving People have started a project to prevent and combat economic deprivation and child poverty in Sweden. Andrea and her friends were at the park of St John's Church and delivered 50 bags of food supplies to people who had signed up to Giving People that they need help. People got warm mulled wine and gingerbread when they came to pick up the food bags.

Photos from Andrea Brodin's blog: "Everything from fantastic creations to more imaginative variations. One guy wore a flower costume. As a flower that is. Cedric, who is not accustomed to fashion galas in the same way that I, wondered a little fine "why is he dressed like a flower"? I could not stop laughing".

Madeleine's friend Tin-Tin (Cathrine) af Burén will be starring at Channel 5's new reality serie "Toppmäklarna" ("Top Brokers"), which looks behind the scenes of one of Sweden's top brokerage firm, Eklund Stockholm New York, also known as ESNY. Behind the company that conveys some of Sweden's most luxurious residential accounts is Fredrik Eklund, the broker that has become a huge name thanks to the American soap opera "Million Dollar Listing," but at the program the seven employees at ESNY's office are also presented, one of them is Tin-Tin. The premiere of the program is in April.

Svensk Damtidning tells that Carl Philip's friend and former PR-woman Christina Saliba, (ceo of Mindmakers PR, who still takes care of the PR for Bernadotte & Kylberg), and her husband Elias are divorcing. They have been married for 11 years and have children Sebastian, 9, and Celine, 6 years. Christina Saliba didn't want to comment the divorce to Svensk Damtidning.
 
Svensk Damtidning tells that Victoria's and Daniel's friends Sophie and Marcus Josefsson have got their third child, son Hugo. He was born on 11th March. Sophie and Marcus have two older sons, William, 6 and Tom, 2.
Sophie (née de Geer, sister of Jacob de Geer) and Marcus got married in 2007. Victoria and Daniel were at their wedding. Sophie is Victoria's friend from childhood. Marcus has been seen with Daniel at some sport games.
So Oscar got a playmate of the same age, and soon there will be born a child for Victoria's friend Martina Gahn too.

Victoria's and Daniel's friend Karl-Johan Persson, the ceo of H&M, told to Bloomberg that the clothier will more than double its number of stores to close the gap with larger rival Inditex SA and as Amazon increases competition in fast fashion.
“I think we will go to 7,000, 8,000 stores plus and beyond,” Persson said Wednesday in a phone interview. “We’re not stressed to reach a certain size or to be number one but it’s still expansion ahead of us.”
H&M will soon open its 4,000th store in New Delhi.

Any chance that Andrea Brodin might make it as a Oscar's godmother?
 
I am happy for them - they make a cute couple. Maybe they'll have a child together.
I don't think Andrea Brodin will be Oscar's godparent. They do not seem that close.

Andrea is one of Victoria's closest friends, one of the group that have been friends since their childhood/youth: Caroline Kreuger Nilsson, Caroline Dinkelspiel, Leonie Persson, Andrea Brodin, Martina Gahn Liska, Josephine Genetay, Anna Jussil Broms, Sophie Josefsson, Anders Högberg, Rebecka Wiiburg...
Victoria is the godmother of Andrea's daughter Diana. Andrea's parents are close friends of the king and queen.
According to the swedish press, Andrea and Cedric Notz have spent time together with Victoria and Daniel, they have been together for instance at a boat trip. Andrea has also been invited to Victoria's and Daniel's wedding anniversary parties at Haga Palace.

Except being close friends, Andrea and Victoria wear similar (same?) clothes (Andrea's photos are from her blog, she has worn these clothes after Victoria has worn them):

Victoria is godmother to several of her friends' children. She has a lot of people left to honor. With Maddie a sure bet, and Dan should at least get 1 godparent, and presumably there will be 1 foreign royal at least, that leaves 2 possible slots. She is godmother to Leonie's son Ian, Caroline K's daughter Isabella and Andrea's daughter Diana, not to mention her many cousins who have named her godmother.
 
Daniel's and Victoria's friends Peter Forsberg and his partner Nicole Nordin got their third child, a boy, on Tuesday. They have already son Lennox, 4, and daughter Lily, soon 2. Peter Forsberg said to the press that they are super happy. Nicole told in February, that they had already a great name for the child, Peter had chosen it. Peter didn't want to reveal the name to the press yet.

Daniel's and Victoria's friend, the two-time olympic champion and former NHL-hockey star Peter Forsberg (42) won SVT's Mästarnas mästare (The Champion of Champions), where top Swedish athletes competed in physical and dexterity competitions. The program was recorded in the autumn and shown now in the spring with 10 episodes. Forsberg said at the interview after the competition that he was happy with his win, told that he had trained quite hard before it and lost weight 9-10 kilos. You get just one chance in the Mästarnas mästare. It's nice to be standing there as the winner. It was fun to meet all the participants. But he missed his family and it would be great to come home again.

To Expressen Forsberg said that he is glad that he finally, after having been asked for years, agreed to participate in the program.
- It is a tribute program plus some contests, as an athlete, it's very good to be with. It's a nice atmosphere, no intrigue, and the TV channel is not there to create headlines.
- "Let's Dance" is not first on the list in the future, Forsberg joked.

Svensk Damtidning tells at this week's issue and now also at their website, that Victoria's, Daniel's and Madeleine's friend Jacob de Geer (older brother of Lovisa de Geer) and his wife Nicole are getting a divorce. They met in Paris in the end of '90s and got married in March 2007. Victoria and Daniel attended at their wedding.
They have three children Fred, 8, Hermine, 6, and Wilhelmina, soon three. Nicole turned just 40 years and celebrated big with all her girl gang, including several of Victoria's and Madeleine's best friends.

On Saturday 28 May the 2016 Portrait of Honour at Gripsholm Castle was unveiled. This year it depicts Professor Barbro Osher, the Swedish Consul General in San Francisco and a generous philanthropist. The portrait was taken by Thron Ullberg, who faithfully captures both the model’s modest air and her work as a patron of the arts.
The Swedish National Portrait Gallery at Gripsholm Castle, the world’s oldest national portrait gallery, was founded in 1822 and is managed by Nationalmuseum. A number of works are added to the collection each year, including an annual Portrait of Honour, donated by Gripsholmsföreningen, depicting a distinguished Swedish citizen.

Barbro Osher is a friend of the royal family. At the guest list of Victoria's and Daniel's wedding she was listed to the personal friends of the couple. She attended also at Oscar's christening on Friday.
