Princess Birgitta & Family Current Events - Part 1 (December 2002 - )

[Catharina]

The president of the Chamber of Commerce seems to have taken quite a shine on her, judging by the compliments he's giving her:

"She's so bright and full of life. The golf proves it. She hardly looks 65, let alone 75."

Either Mr Bush is being especially kind to his guest or there's a totally different scale in Australia on what people are estimated to look like in different ages and stages of their lives. Actually I know they kinda do have that (thanks to the sun). An elderly couple there was shocked to find that me and my hubby weren't a teenage couple who had gotten married really young but that we're in our thirties. Still not sure actually if they believed us.

I think Mr Bush was simply being kind to Birgitta - just read the comments at the end of the article

The Princess was at a brunch this morning, with members of the Swedish-Australia Chamber of Commerce. Press Release from the SACC.

No pictures of Birgitta in Sydney apart from the one in the SMH article - hopefully more pop up. It's a shame that Birgitta is only in Sydney - had she come down to Melbourne, I would have gone to see her.

All that snark in the comments and she actually looks pretty good in the picture with the article! Hope they don't dig one up from CP Victoria's wedding!

Article from The Mosman Daily, which includes an exclusive interview with Princess Birgitta, as she denied all media interviews during her four-day visit. Some of the interview: "Others have a lot of security but I don’t like that," on not travelling with security guards; "My first impression of Australians is that they are very friendly people."
