2- Isn't this too much?? I don't understand people that accept CP dating Sofia but implying she's better that the delightful Mathilde of Belgium seems really crazy to me! So what?? Should Mathilde pose naked with a snake to be less boring?? Thankfully it's not true people find her boring, actually everybody likes her: a recent survey proclamed her the most popular member of the Royal Family.
I like her too.
And I am no fan of Sofia.
But what I wanted to say is that these days with the press and certain problems being noble or Royal born is no guarantee.
However Belgium is in a special position and most criticism came from the flemish side and many would probably criticise every princess, who has french as main language.
I´d love to see the ultimate dream match happening: Madeleine and William. Because then people would see, that marrying a Royal is these days only an short-time advantage.
Marrying your second cousin every now and then is no problem, but that Anne83 is obviously a hardliner.
However her selection (vulgar Bea, the daughter of parasite Tino, the tacky we-marry-only-rich-like-Momma Miller sisters, and a woman, who is an actress like Grace, who surely was beautiful and poised, but who was in her later years deeply unhappy with her limited life) shows, that she has no idea, what a country like Sweden does need.
Some glamour, yes. But also hard-working, honest people, who are deeply in love with the country.
In Sweden and Norway it´s more important to cheer like crazy at cross country skiing events, to pick strawberries at one´s summer residence and to meet people with humour and warmth than to go in Chanel over a red carpet.
