Royal News 'Swedish Royal Children Slutty & Gay' - preacher

August 23, 2005, 12:48:13

Royal News: The Swedish Royal family has consulted lawyers after a fundamentalist preacher called the royal children "slutty and gay".

Fred Phelps, of the Wesrboro Baptist Church in Kansas, is well known for his homophobic website 'God Hates Fags'.

This horrible man. I remember looking at his website 5 years ago where he had a photo of Mathew Shepherd - the gay American college student beaten to death in Washington State in the late 90's - superimposed in flames. If you clicked the photo, a voice purporting to be Shepherd's said, "For God's sake, listen to Phelps!" He supports picketing the funerals of gay hate-crimes victims because he says their families "frittered away" their chance to raise upstanding heterosexual Christians and, thus, their grief doesn't deserve to be respected.

This targeting the Swedish royal family is twisted. I'll be curious to see how this pans out. I don't remember why I was reading up on him then, but I haven't come across his name since. So maybe he's heading to a smaller country where it will be easier to drum up press.

From http://www.webupdate.se

"The Royal Court new client
2005-01-12 | Webupdate has received the prestigious assignments to build the Palace's (wrong expression there) new website. The assignment included design, navigation, contents and structure and it's a big acknowledgement for Webupdate's creative team. The technical implementation will be done by another part. The website wil be delievered for the summer."

Wohooo! Now my hopes are sky high, but I'll try to brace myself and calm down, so that I don't get too excited and then disappointed.

Does this mean that the english side wil have the same stuff as the rest of the website? ::::I hope, I hope, I hope::::

Well, maybe they want to change it, because of the (possible) engagement and wedding next year. These events will be one of the greatest oppurtunities for PR...and I´m sure the court will try all to use it...
BTW IMO it wouldn´t be bad to involve Carl Philip...

Josefine · #**106** 08-30-2005, 04:21 AM

i also had some thoughts that the change in the desugn of the webbsite is due to a comming wedding

here is the link for the thread to tell what you would like to see on the webbsite

A press release by the Royal Court today tells that there was a break-in at Ulriksdal Palace on the night to 24 August this year. Twenty culturally historic bronze pieces were stolen, the thieves had left when police and guards arrived, alerted by the alarm. All of the bronze objects are made in Paris around 1820, and have originally belonged to Karl XIV Johan.

The objects stolen belong to the Bernadotteska Familjestifelserna (the Bernadotte Family Foundations), and are the private property of H.M. The King.

Rosendals Palace is one of Sweden’s foremost cultural historic environments from the beginning of the 1800’s, and the theft from the whole environment at the Palace means a significant loss for the country’s cultural heritage.

The press release (in Swedish) can be found here.

Article from Aftonbladet:
Yesterday Lilian´s 90th birthday was celebrated in the Royal castle and in Waldemarsudde.
The whole Royal family (Madeleine in a white suit, while the others wore evening dresses) celebrated together with Stockholm´s society (among them Roger Moore with his wife Kiki) the princess.
