So Madeleine is going to make a mad dash from Philly to Stockholm for National Day after all.

Yes, Bertil Ternert from the court announced yesterday, that if the Madeleine´s trip from USA goes as planned, she will be at Skansen and at the reception:

Mad dash? Well, I dont know when the event in Philly is, but isnt there pretty good connection with NY from Philly? 17.20 EST there is a SAS-plane going from Newark destination Stockholm, i know, i traveled with it this february. She then arrives tomorrow at 07.40 with a big jetlag, but if she is better than me when it comes to sleeping in airplanes(i didnt sleep at all on my returntrip and was wery groggy on arrival) she sleeps during the entire flight or takes a nap when she returns home. She then rides with the family either with a gigantic jetlag or not.

If i go to Skansen i will not wave to the camera

Well, it might not be exactly a mad dash, but there is a chance she could be cutting it fine to get to Stockholm, then Skansen, by the evening. She would have to fly/drive to New York, then get a connecting flight to Stockholm (some of the flights I saw on SAS went through Oslo, or Chicago and Oslo, but there was also two direct from Newark). If one of these connections is running late, everything else is thrown back.

But, the flights schedueled to arrive at Arlada from Newark at 06:55, 07:15 and then one at 07:35 from Chicago.

It will be good to see the family all together I think.

**dazzling** · #10 06-06-2011, 04:54 AM

Well, Mandeleine IMO should be there along with the family, after all she is part of the royal family and at such occasions with no excuse or discussion should a member not attend, maybe I am old fashioned when it comes to such events where I think the whole family must attend.

Hate to be a spoiler but it doesn't sound like Madeleine was there--again.

The announcement was that she will attend the celebration at Skansen, Stockholm, tonight. That has not started yet. The rest of the family have other engagements during the day.
