I´ll start with one of the most "famous" and known friends, Louise "Lussan" Gottlieb.

She and Madeleine have been best friends for a long time and they went to high school together, were confirmed(?) together, studied in London together and they even went to the university together.

Madeleines best friend is called Louise "Lussan" Gottlieb. Her parents Fredrik and Carola Gottlieb are close friends of the royal couple. (yennies note: they are what one may call "new friends". They were presented in the royal circle when Lussan and Madeleine became best friends)
Together with Lussan, Madeleine celebrated her 18th birthday with a party at Drottningholm. Two years later the girls also celebrated their graduation together. (From Aftonbladet)

Lussan lives(or lived!) with her parents and older brother Alexander Gottlieb on Strandvägen in Stockholm.

Lousie and her family has a summer home in Vagnhärad outside of Trosa, where Madeleine often is seen. In june august 2003 and in june 2005, the friends had parties and invited many friends. Both parties was covered by paparazzis and photos was seen in swedish press.

I have moved this thread to the main forum, since the name of this thread indicates that it will be about friend of the whole Royal Family - and not only the friends of the royal children.

Yes I have. I´ll do a post about Caroline Kreuger and post some of the photos there!

Caroline Kreuger and her sister Charlotte have known Victoria, Carl Philip and Madeleine all their life.
They are daughters of the late Björn Kreuger and his wife Agnetha. Björn and Agnetha got married a few days before Carl Gustaf and Silvia in 1976 and the families are very close.
Agnetha Kreuger is one of Silvias closest friends and Caroline Kreuger have been best friends with Victoria all her life. Victoria and Caroline were both born in july 1977.
Björn Kreuger was a close friend of the King since their younger years, and they remaind so until Björn passed away in 1999.

Caroline Kreuger and her sister are among the welthiest women in Sweden. They inherited their grandfather Torsten Kreuger and have about 300 million sek each.

I dont know that much about Carl Philips friends...

But when he had his graduation party in june 1999, he arranged the party with his friend Mikael. They have known eachother since they went to kindergarten together in the early 80´s.
Mikael is what one may call "a ordinary" boy = No rich or noble parents.
Carl Philip and Mikael went to Smedslättskolan and Ålstenskolan together but when Carl Philip moved to Enskilda Gymnasiet and later Lundsberg, both private schools, Mikael continued his studies at a state high school in Bromma, close to Drottningholm.

Christoffer Cederlund is also a friend of Carl Philip. Chris is dating Lotta Kreuger (Carolines sister) and they lives together in a apartment in Stockholm.

Most current pic of Lussan (together with Jan Dinkelspiel). I would say her look is still improving. In the opposite to Madeleine, she´s rather beautiful than cute.
The pic is from stureplan.se

Lovisa De Geer is also a friend of Madeleine, any pictures of her?=)

The thread still exists. You can find it here: Baron Carl Silfverschiöld & Maria Fredriksson 2005 All wedding photos are kept in the "Old, New, Royal and Blue ..." forum and not in the forums of the particular Royal Houses.
