i was a bit shocked seeing the news, although i had the impression it would happen after all those rumours. also, i thought madeleine waited for so long to marry jonas as the king wanted victoria to marry first, hence the rapidity with which her engagement was announced. it must be hard for madeleine also, after spending 8 years with someone in all your youth it must be hard to restart dating, specially since she is a princess. i guess she must feel quite betrayed.
i just find it funny that even the queen stepped into the spotlight to say that they were fine - when they were not. in this case, i guess it's best to keep quiet and ignore the rumours than to say they are wrong in public. now, the credibility of queen silvia is damaged, at least to me.
so i assume that the rumours are true and jonas cheated on madeleine? if so, silly boy - he should have known better: his career, his network, his future relationships, his family.. will all suffer the consequences of this. it couldn't be quicker to have gained such a bad reputation in sweden.
last, i cannot help but feel very happy for victoria - with all the criticism daniel received when compared to jonas at the beginning. daniel had it hard to be accepted by the king, while jonas had his positive opinion very easily (probably because of their backgrounds). time has shown how erroneous first impressions can be. daniel is clearly someone that makes her happy, despite not being the "prince stereotype".
Witty thinking but you forget something here. Something, journalists and so-called royal observers should have noticed earlier.
When the rumours of a clash in the couple started to spread public weeks ago, one of the first comments by HM The Queen was quote "Madeleine is ok" unquote...
Few were striked there on how many local and international magazines but also news agencies have changed it to "Madeleine and Jonas are ok". Nevertheless Queen Silvia sent a clear message in that sentence : Jonas was no longer welcome in the Royal Family. A message towards which many media kept completely blind !!!
The further statements, though more official, were PR's misleadings of the issue. Very bad ones if you want my opinion ! Picture it : April 21th, they are still together ; three days later : the break-up !
The same story occured for Prince Hamzah of Jordan's divorce which could have been easily anticipated on the occasion of his last birthday because there was no more mention of his wife anywhere...
Sometimes journalist have to investigate or read between the lines instead of swallowing PR's bull****s...
this is a good point, but are you sure she said "madeleine is okay"? i thought she said it was all good between them.
