Estelle seems to be growing as popular as her mother, so unless that for some reason changes when she becomes an adult, i assume the monarchy is reasonably safe in Sweden for at least two generations.
Having said that,
Victoria's seemingly excessive emotional dependence on Daniel is something that bothers me a little bit.
Hmmm. Daniel and Victoria do seem a very close couple but I honestly do not pick up a vibe of excessive emotional dependence from either of them.
I feel Victoria was overly dependent on Daniel at least at some point in her life (when she was younger and still struggling with anxiety issues). I can't tell if that's still the case today, but, if it were, it could potentially be negative for her future role as HoS. I hope it's not the case though. What do the Swedes think?
Sometimes comments are so out in left field that I am wondering what kind of site I am on. I would guess most Swedes, including me, think that the comment about the Crown Princess is a bunch of bull.
Wow, not very subtle and not a little sexist!
Victoria and Daniel are the most popular members of the SRF, so let's undermine this by hinting, obliquely, that Victoria is a little needy, emotionally dependent, you know, all those little drawbacks that mentally frail women generally suffer from.
Then comes the kicker . . . she's overly dependent on Daniel . . . and Daniel is not born royal and so, since poor, pathetic, needy Victoria cannot cope with anything, she will have to be guided by her commoner husband. Oh dear, that's not good, the House of Bernadotte run by a common country hick!
That is all pure republican cant. Trying to undermine Victoria, calling her mental health into question and not so subtly querying if Daniel (aka Svengali) inserted himself into Crown Princess Victoria's life when she was not in control of all her faculties, and continues to exploit her so "we" must wonder what part commoner Daniel will play as her consort (aka puppeteer).
This is straight out of the Republican Handbook of those who are not Swedish, do not live in a monarchy and see no reason that anyone else should either. It's psychology 101, divide and conquer. First you call into question the mental state of the Heir. Then you call into question the motives of her husband and the part he will play as her Consort in the future . . . unless something is done!
Republic anyone?
That our resident citizens of Sweden do not recognise these glaring problems is hardly surprising, however, that is beside the point because it is not about them, it is about abolishing the monarchy of Sweden and obviously they need help because they have missed to obvious.
Victoria and Daniel are a wonderful, loving couple who invited us to share in the most beautiful of weddings where their heartfelt love was evident to all with eyes to see. As were their tears of joy. They continue with frequent little PDA's which is evidence
that all is not what it seems. Rather, it is evidence of the Heir's clingy, dependent mental state.
Frederik and Mary are a wonderful, loving couple who invited us to share in the most beautiful of weddings where their heartfelt love was evident to all with eyes to see. As were their tears of joy. They continue with frequent little PDA's which is evidence
of their wonderful relationship. (See the 2015 Opening of Parliament for latest photos).
A bunch of bull? You bet your booties baby! This is totally and completely, self-serving, bollocks!
