Victoria´s dress looks very much as if it would be by Natan. It´s Vermeulen´s very special talent to make every woman pregnant looking. Of course quite practically for women, who are really preggers as e.g. Mathilde, who -together with Eleonore- wore a very similiar "Xmas tree ball" dress at the Xmas concert 2007
IMO also the dress at the Water Prize Ceremony could have covered a bump of 6 months pregnancy (though it possibly wasn´t by Natan)
Lots of "pregnancy fashion" of late
The colour self fits her of course very well.

The worst about Charlene&Albie, Victoria&Daniel and William&waity is that one gets a feeling, things would go and on and on and on like this...not just for them, but also for the next generation. "Divorco-phoby" (with good cause) resulting in eternal hesitation

I agree about William panicing about divorce and Albert certainly has his quirks but Victoria? Picture-perfect family etc ... no reason to suffer from a trauma like the other two!

Well, we don´t know for sure how the king´s and queen´s marriage really is (IMO it looks quite stable & happy though)
But it might also be, that she is thinking, that her parents simply were lucky...as the stories around her wouldn´t speak for "happy lasting marriages"
She had seen Royal marriages "crashing" (among them two of her aunts...who had stayed married, but practically their marriages were over) So many of the king´s friends got divorced and already the first couples among her friends got divorced. That´s a vicious circle...she is waiting and in the meanwhile her friends, who didn´t wait, divorce. How should she be keen on going into marriage...esp. since she can´t know, how Daniel would cope with "losing" his gyms or at least with losing a "driving role" in them...

I don't know if this is the right place to ask these two questions.
1. Who in the Swedish royal house hunts? (including HM's sister's children)
2. How religious are the Swedish royals? and do they practice it?

Lately, I can't help thinking all the time what a wonderful Crowprincess Sweden has! I think Victoria's style has even improved and you can see on photos that she must be such a warm-hearted person that is genuinely interested in what people tell her. I think she is the best possible queen material.

Just for those who are interested! Here is a link were you can watch the whole awarding ceremony! I think you can get some fantastic glimpse of the royals. AND the best: most of it is in english so that you can understand even if you are not able to speak or understand swedish.



Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for posting the link. It was a nice ceremony. I really enjoyed seeing the king clapping to the music. Being an American, I was really impressed by the flawless English being spoken. I'm sure they are well educated but it still astounds me!

For those who are interessted, here is the link:
