Chris' half sister from his mother's first marriage, Tatjana has three children: Anoushka Maria Violet, born 1991, Celina Maria Isabel, born 1996 and Jasper Henry Erland, born 2001.
The other half sister from his mother's second marriage, Natascha has daughter Milana, born 1996 and a son, whose name I didn't found, he is younger than Milana.
I don't know about the children of his half sisters from his father's side.

I guess we can safely expect Sofia at the wedding. With a big grin on her face like the "Cheshire Cat". Looking forward to it.

I have a feeling that, by that time, Sofia will accompany Carl Philip as his official fiancé.
Call me crazy, but I think Carl-Philip and Sofia will get engaged next spring with a wedding at the end of 2013 or at the beginning of 2014...

^i think that too, Sofia will not wait long now that she is the only one to get married. i think she is already behind the curtain preparing her own wedding.

as for the debate over the bridal tiara, the Cameo is not Madeleine's style and taste, i think she'll opt for other Tiara. as for the wedding dress, i agree with some of you that it will be princessy type of dress but not to over the top.

I won't call you crazy at all because I have the same feeling. Either before Madeleine's wedding or directly afterwards we will get a nice little engagement announcement. And if you look at that link over at RoyalDish.com some users have already put the Cameo Tiara on Sofia's head. Watch here: http://royaldish.com/avs/avatar_1603.jpg

I also belive that we Will probably see C-P and S togerher att Madeleines wedding as an engaged couple and that they will marry during the winter 2013 or during spring 2014.

The last picture of Sofia in the Cameo tiara made me laugh in 10 minutes ;-) hahaha !!!

I hope to see all 3 "big guns" brought out of the tiara vault at the wedding :) Madeleine marry in the Cameo tiara, Silvia wearing the braganza Diamond tiara and the pink topaz demi parure and Victoria wearing the sapphire parure :) Would be a magical day :)

I think it will be a white tie wedding, not as big as the Crown Princess wedding but still a grand royal wedding. I expect to see the complete Norwegian royal family there as well as Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, Princess Benedikte and Queen Anne-Marie with their families . Prince Andreas of Sachsen,Coburg-Gotha will be invited too as he is a godparent to Madeleine.
Other royal invitations is up to the bride and groom to decide i think :)

I think the wedding will take place after the Eurovision Song Contest :)

lol... Not a bad idea at all! Next year will be all about Sweden, just like 2012 was all about England. Go go, Sweden!!!

I wonder will Emma Pernald attend - she has remained a very close of Madeleine's even after the split from CP.

[liv]

Yes,I think she will attend. She also attended Madeleine´s 30th birthday this year.

Whereas Sofia didn't.

[MoonShadow123]

I definitely think Emma will attend, I would be surprised if she did not.

[An Ard Ri]

As Chris is RC I wonder will he convert to Lutheranism or perhaps there's no need for him to do so?

Sofia didn't attend that 30-birthday party which was for Madeleine's friends, Emma attended that. But Sofia attended at the birthday party Victoria and Daniel arranged for Madeleine at the Haga Palace, family members were invited. Here's are Madeleine, Sofia and Carl Philip arriving to the party at the same car.

Perhaps they will do an eucomenial (sp?) instead. It's not as if M. will ever be head of the family like her sister and therefor would Need a lutheran service.

Haven't they already said that he will not convert? It is only people in the line of succession that need to be Lutheran, not their spouses. Queens Desiree and Josefina were both RC.

The Marshal of the Realm was asked: Christopher O'Neill is a Catholic. Will he have to convert to Protestantism before marrying Princess Madeleine?
And the Marshal answered: No, he won't have to convert.

But if he wants to convert, it is his own decision.
