Prince Carl Philip - Current Events Part 3 (January 2006 - )

[Anna Z.]

It says that the other students are not required to bow or curtsy to Carl Philip, but they have been advised to address him as "prince". The article also says that Carl Philip does not need to show his ID when he wants to borrow books from the library because everybody knows him.

[lilnana]

He doesn't have to use an ID to check out a book at the library? Some how I doubt that, a book has to be checked out if it leaves the library in order to keep track of where it is (if its available for others to use, or unavailable), plus those evil late fees. Unless they are referring to someone the books that no one is allowed to check out and you have to ask to see them, so in return for seeing them they hold on to your ID at the help desk till you give the book back before you leave. Unless they look him up in the system manually then check him out that way but that would be stupid, its just so much easier so scan/swip the back of the card. I wonder if he doesn't need to use a atm card at the bank either? He just walks up to it and it hands over its money to him. As would any of the bank tellers.

He looks cute in that picture,very casual looking.

[avrilo]

I wonder until when is he going to keep studying???

[Boris]

As mentioned already a few times before, Prince Carl Philip is NOT studying full-time.
In the course of this year, he is just taking a few courses at the University of Agricultural Sciences, each of which lasts a few weeks, with the purpose of being sufficiently prepared to manage the estates he's going to inherit one day. Reasonable enough, I'd say.

I'm not sure if this goes here, but i found this video about an interview they did to CP 14 years ago

YouTube - Prince Carl Philip talks about Lundsberg School

^Really nice pictures, thanks for sharing.

Random question: anyone know about how tall CP is? He seems a little on the short side.

I would appreciate that Carl Philip is approximately 1.74 cm long, as long (short) as his father.

[Josefine]

Will there be any special event this years as carl philip is celebrating 30 years?
It has been when he turned 18 and 25, the same for madeleine.
Victoria has her victoria day on her birthday but they made a event in stockholm at her 18th 25th and 30th birthday.

This has probably been discussed at some point - but I was wondering whether anyone knew why Carl Philip was sent to boarding school in America at such a young age?

If I remember correctly the school specialized in children with learning disabilities(dyslexia)

Actually, it is a very academically rigorous school - my husband interviewed there once. That is odd then - considering that Carl Philip does have learning issues....

When was Carl Philip at and American boarding school?

[amedea]

I don't know if this is the right place for this post (if there is one better feel free to move the post there): I have found some old piece of news about an experience (don't know if call it scandal or terrible episode) happened to C-P when he was only 15 yo.. someone knows what I am refering to? This episode is never remembered in his bios, how is it possible?

[qisabella]

No I have never heard of this. What kind of scandal? Is this why he was sent to the states at such a young age?

[amedea]

That has in fact happened in the summer before his departure to US but I don't know if the two thinks are linked.
Here's the link to where I read the news orge reali, scandalo alla corte di Svezia
It is in italian: it came out that in a pre-confirmation spiritual retreat the prince and his companions of both sexes were allowed/encouraged to take part in erotic games at the prensence of their adult religiuos teachers

[Lena]

Well, I don´t think it was the reason for his stay abroad. Most likely his dyslexia was the reason.

I know the story with the confirmation camp...and it´s quite weird actually. The weirder it is, because 3 years later Madeleine was in the same confirmation camp/course with the same reverend...and he is even discussed to marry Victoria and Daniel (as assistant to the bishop)...
