Isn't this type of fame what she has been aiming for all along?
How to become a princess:
1. As a minor, pose for topless erotic photos....CHECK
2. Attend parties, but not college....CHECK
3. Pose for more topless photos, only with a snake....CHECK
4. Move to New York, live with an older guy, pose for completely naked photos....CHECK
5. Define your greatest ambition in life is "to be famous".
6. Get cast in a reality program about people with loose morals/low standards....CHECK
7. Make out with the most famous female porn star....CHECK
Yeah, every time we've encountered anyone who has done these things, we immediately think "wow, wouldn't she make a great royal princess? It's so unfair. All those other hack wannabes (Maxima, Mathilde, Letizia, Daniel, Kate) are so unqualified. They didn't do any of these things but still got the brass ring. They should remove their spouses from the line of succession."
8. Date your country's royal prince....CHECK
Finally! Luckily, the world endured all the educated, successful, stylish, well-mannered royal spouses...even though they sit with their legs together. So what's your next move?
9. Tweet about it....CHECK
Because...hey, it's a different time than it was 20 or 30 years ago. Sharing intimate details of your life - as well a notoriously private person with whom you are involved - is not only acceptable, it shows that you really know how to connect with people....totally a princess...I mean, even Queen Rania does it!
______________________
Considering the parody above, you would think I disagree with your quote. Actually I totally agree that this is the LEVEL of fame she sought, but not the TYPE. But I believe the TYPE of fame is irrelevent to Sofia. If she wanted to be famous as a princess, I think she wouldn't have done any of the things she chose to do in her past or even now, speaking with the media about other private individuals. But making different choices would have been too difficult and she was looking for quick fame so she chose what she thought would be a quick and easy road to it. Unfortunately, she realized too late that she was getting LOTS of exposure but very little fame...and based on results very little respect (perhaps because she was disrespecting herself). Now that she has found a more respectable way and it is actually giving her fame, she still is making ill-advised choices by interacting with the media.
So, it's all relative. She was a z-list celebrity only in Sweden before. Now she is a Y (why?) - list celebrity in Sweden and on royal message boards.
