Whose bubble are you bursting, exactly?

If he cheats once he may cheat again :(

The Norwegian girl, whose said to have an affair with Jonas, said she was happy when Queen Silvia said the wedding was postponed. She also said she's sad for Madeleine because she has a fiance who cheats on her. Wow. If Jonas did this, then either he has a problem with unfaithfulness or he never really loved Madeleine. The sad thing is when you are a royal, celebrity or even rich, you never know who loves you for you.

I feel sorry for Madeleine. [/QUOTE

If the Norwegian girl had been so sad for Madeleine, she wouldn´t have had a fling with her fiancee. I have to laugh always when I see the lovers in newspapers expressing their regrets... They just want to get into spotlight. It is very dangerous for famous men, because there are always women around them eager to make themselves visible through the men and don´t hesitate to sell their stories to tabloid.

I agree these women are running to the media for the money and of course, the media, as it's duty, is eager to pay these people for the sensational story. These "lovers" expressing their regrets and sadness is nothing but hypocrisy.

but..a rumor is a mouth to mouth communication that is considered as authentic (By this I mean, real)

[Lola]

But there are rumours and rumours. In the king´s case no names of women very brought in.
Apart from Anna Lindmarker maybe, but this was based on a misunderstanding.

It would have been better for all parties if this had actually came out before the engagement while they were just still dating it would have been a less serious thing.

Regardless of any allegations I don't understand why they had to announce their engagement so quickly after Victoria did. Couldn't she have allowed her sister to enjoy the limelight of her special day especially considering she's the Crown Princess.

ugh, you can't really compare the two situations with each other, the only thing they have income are the women cheated on were both Swedish and blond. Theres a different from cheating and cheating with multiply women prostitutes (while married with kids), then claiming your a addicted to sex.

Sorry. I don't get your point at all. There is no difference, an affaire is an affaire! There are no degrees, and no "get out of jail free" card.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck . . . . then by George, I do believe it is indeed, a Duck! And, it is now "Open Season".

To be unfaithful is a choice. No one holds a gun to your head and tells you that you must cheat on your significant other. Your decisions are your own as are the consequences.

If, and for me the jury is still out, Jonas cheated I hope Madeleine ends the engagement with style and grace.

My dad doesn't mess around when it comes to me and my sister and I suspect that he is no different when it comes to Victoria and Madeleine. He wants them to be as happy as he is with their mother and naturally if Jonas stepped out on her and embarrassed her in such a degrading way, he has every right to be infuriated.

Well, that´s absolutely correct: He´s an angry father.... but the difference here is: he is also the king! And (if it´s true), not only his beloved daugther has been cheated, but also the beloved princess of a country.... as a consequence: now the entire country is angry.

I do not want to be him at the moment.....

On the other hand: was he really so silly to believe, that this won´t be made public one day????

Completely agree. Some said, that they went engaged to save their relationship. A silly reason, if it is true.... but some truth may be included, as they HAD TO WAIT until the big sister announcing her engagement before. If this would not have been the case, they may have engaged years ago already....

Haha, ich LIKED the example with the duck ....

Nevertheless I am curious what will happen to the couple in the future: 10 years a couple, sperated once already, cheated (if it is true), couple therapy even before the wedding.... what else will come? Could this be a good foundation for a marriage that shall last for the rest of their lives???
If you ask me -- eeeerm

Yes...even though there is almost no chance of them getting married now, I think that their marriage would almost certainly end in divorce, which I'm sure the SRF would not like one bit.

The swedish papers have different kind of stories:
Aftonbladet writes that the King and the Queen trust Jonas, they refuse to believe that he has cheated Madeleine. A close friend of the royal family says that Jonas and Madeleine have it very difficult to talk to another. Nina Eldh, the informationschef of the court, says: "This is a family that talks and is humble and understanding". The King and the Queen have believed that this Tora doesn´t speak the truth. But Madeleine knows that it is true and is telling more and more to her parents.

Expressen (Johan T Lindwall) writes that Jonas is cracked by the king's criticism. According to people around him feels terribly ill and won´t even go out besides to his working place. Jonas hasn´t publicly denied Tora´s story. Nor the court have given comments about the allegations.

If the magazine published that article I think that they had proves as if not they could be sued; I doubt that they acted so foolishly on this matter; so I really think that the thing with that Tora is true.

[Penny Royalty]

I've caught myself quacking like a duck often. Still I find reasons to forgive myself of wanting to fit the shoe. In Jonas' case I have to ask myself if he has seemed an unfaithful and or a worshiping person. He always appears regal from all I can tell by looking at him constantly through here in this forum. And I can't say I've ever been disappointed by his candor. He seems always fit for the Royal role given Madeleine is truly wanting of his companionship. I have no doubt that there has been mutual bond and obvious love since their romance has gone on for years, so it surprises me that they may call it quits. Who knows though. I personally wouldn't get too jealous if my partner were to be open minded to find someone else instead of me if her heart felt so. I'm liberal that way, but I imagine sometimes many people are not for various reasons. Whatever may happen I hope that this loving couple marry for the right reasons. Therefore I hope it is for bond and everlasting love.

Swedish "Nyheter24" is looking for a secret film, where Jonas is seen with someone else than Madeleine. They know that many medias have declined to buy the film because they didn´t want to offend the court.

Resume has interviewed the editor of Nyheter24, Aaron Israelsson. He didn´t want to say more about the film than what was at their internet page. He doesn´t know how much he could pay for the film, before he has seen what´s in it. He hasn´t any ethical concerns about this buying offer, because the news value and public interest are so big.

IMO after this scandal I doubt that there is going to be a wedding, and if the story about the film is true

Don't people have anything better to do that go after others?

Not when they get paid to do it.

[lilnana]

Open seasons yes! No one gets a get out of jail free card for this. I was in no way defending him, but lets be honesty, there are different levels of evil. What he did isn't on the same level, it's like comparing a regular duck to a giant mutant godzilla-duck. If they got engaged to save the relationship not only is that beyond ridicules move to make, but it obviously didn't work! There is a lot of sympathy Madeleine, and while I do feel bad for her, but I just can't wondering what was she think? How on earth could she think being engaged to him would make it in anyway better?
