The Royalist Association brought a "vårdträd" (named Häggmispel) to the yard of the Haga Palace. It was a christening present to princess Estelle.
"Vårdträd" is in Swedish folklore the large dominant tree at the family estate, which was believed to carry the family's happiness and prosperity. Harming the tree or even break the leaves of it brought misfortune and illness. Brownies, or farm gnomes, were said to live under the tree.
Victoria and Estelle got the present from the members of the Association, Patrik Åkesson och Lennart Stockblad, in November. Photo from the Association's Facebook.

Åkesson and Stockblad had given this present "officially" already in 11th October to Victoria and Daniel.

I got very curious as to why the term Brownie appeared when translating "hustomte". In american english it is a derogatory name used for central and south americans.

Brownie is a Scottish and northern english term for gnome. Easy to see how people can insult each other without even knowing how it happened or why.

Professional consultants??? Now that's a different way of describing it... ;)

Oooh!!! Where do I apply!!! I'd totally do it. Just overlook the fact that I don't speak swedish and it's all good!. I'm a nurse, am great with kids and am totally discreet!! Sign me up!! LOL

It sounds like swedish is not necessarily a requirement as they are posting it in London and since English is widely and commonly spoken in Sweden -second language of sorts. I'm sure you could learn Swedish as you go along and plus, Estelle is going to need to learn English anyway eventually. ;)
 
Does Prince Daniel ever plan to go back to school to get his University degree?

Daniel is the patron of En svensk klassiker, "A Swedish Classic"

HRH Prince Daniel is from 2013, the official patron of A Swedish Classic.
Ever since 1971, completion of En Svensk Klassiker ("A Swedish Classic") has been the crowning achievement for many fitness enthusiasts. The circuit diploma has been awarded to 23486 men and 4959 women to date. 10 have completed the classic circuit at impressive 25 times!
Another enthusiast is also well on his way to gaining the 25 year diploma. To qualify for the diploma, you must finish a Swedish classic event in each of the four disciplines (skiing, running, swimming, cycling) within the space of twelve months. Classic events are: Engelbrektsloppet, Vasaloppet or Öppet Spår in cross-country skiing; Vätternrundan, cycling; Vansbrosimningen, swimming; Lidingöloppet 30 km, running.

Victoria's best friend Caroline Nilsson has given a rare interview to magazine "S", and Expressen has copied the article:

Caroline Nilsson, 35, has been close to Crown Princess Victoria for almost their entire lives. Then as now, they have shared many moments together and now they are both parents. In an exclusive interview for S Caroline tells about meetings with Estelle - and gives praise to Victoria and Daniel, responsible and good parents.
- I had not managed to combine work and young children as fast and good as they have done. They do a super job and I am very proud of Victoria, she says to S.
Caroline describes Estelle as pure joy spreader after meeting her.
- Estelle is a wonderful happy little baby, she feels very pleased and satisfied. I think she feels very loved. Estelle is a little ray of sunshine.

Caroline works as a PR consultant in baby food company Otto and also as a silversmith. With two daughters Chloe, 5, and Leonie, three, she has learned one or two lessons that can come in handy in the future for the Victoria and Daniel. Victoria has also asked from her advice on parenting. One of Caroline's top tips is simple, she has tipped Victoria to try to sleep as much as possible when Estelle sleeps so that she will catch up on sleep. But that's easier said than done.

Would make sense since, according to Expressen, Victoria participated in Madeleine's bachelorette party abroad. They left Stockholm by Brussels Airlines... final destination..?

They went to Geneva, Switzerland, and from there to a ski resort. I have posted the articles and videos to Madeleine's and Chris' pre-wedding thread.

While I am very grateful for the translations available on the web, I must admit I have go giggle occasionally at the grammar.
 
It's so cute that they are on holiday together, I didn't know that they were that good friends, anyway I Love it when royals do something or go somewhere together I LOVE IT!!
p.s. i'm wondering, will they still do things like this after WA&M become king and queen?
 
The city Mayor is very happy about Victoria, Daniel and Estelle spending their vacation there and thinks it brings positive things for the future.

Finnish MTV3 asked from the court press department, how long Victoria, Daniel and Estelle are in Spain on their holiday.
Annika Sönnerberg answered:

Well, here we see that you can't trust the media... Maxima met the president of Bali today.

I like to read news about their official activities and how they represent their country, I wish however the press would leave them alone when they are on vacation.
The article says "the indiscretion of a journalist", god knows how he did that.

To me the article speaks about a flower dealer. The people in the town recognized Victoria and Daniel and the word spread out in Twitter, Facebook... I'm sure that Victoria and Daniel knew that they hardly could be left in peace for many days. They left Sweden on Saturday afternoon, arrived to Spain on Saturday evening, so they had Sunday and Monday and the first photos were taken today.
