[robby86]

So why did he get braces now?

[Serena]

I got my braces off this year and I am 23 ... I don`t think its bad, but maybe thats the reason why he didn`t talk to the reporters ?!

[Cerasma]

My english is not so good, so I don´t understand what you both mean with "braces", is it something like fraught or what do you mean?

Please let me know.

Braces are metal or plastic pieces glued to your teeth to make them straight. It also is an old fashioned word for "suspenders"--what men use to hold up their pants instead of a belt.

[bigheadshirmp]

braces....hmm....it means like.....if your teeths are not that good looking...u go to the orthrodontics to get ur braces (like...hmm..putting metal wires around ur teeth so they look more "tidy"-is that the word>?!?!! )

yeah...that's what braces means...

I meant that his teeth didn't look like they needed to have braces.

[Cerasma]

ahh, a "tandställning" means a retainer. I thought it is a mood or something like that

Another translation is suspenders like Lindy80 said, but I thought, that couldn´t be meant.
Thank you very much!!!

Before the race all other drivers talked to the press and posed for photographs, but Varl Philip hid in the VIP lounge. Bad Carl Philip, bad
He was only allowed to participate because he is a prince (others mostly professional and world elite drivers) and probably because of the "extra" PR, so I think he could have made the effort to talk to the press and wave to the crowd...

I don t undersand you people, because he is royal he should do whatever journalists and the public wants 24/7? For crying out loud!! In that case, lets ask him to get undressed in front of the camera etc... I am sure MANY people would enjoy (I would anyway)

But seriously, the swedish royals are the most open ones to the press by far! In my country (Netherlands) more then one royalty journalist showed his amazement that the swedish royals actualy talked to the press etc. as here the royals most of the time do NOT talk to any journalist at all. You in Sweden are so spoiled already (open and very attractive royals), so let Carl-Philip enjoy the VIP lounge.

No that´s not what I meant. But in this particluar case, he was there as prince of Sweden (dont think a "normal" 25 year old with no skills would have been invited to join a race like this) and because of that I think he should have been "grateful". Ah, I can´t find the right words , but do you know what I mean?

I dont think its to much to ask for at all. Ofcourse he has the right to a private life and thats none of our buisness to "get involved in" but this isn´t what I would call a private event.
Its kind of an "both keep the cake and eat it", as we say in Sweden, situation

I understand what you mean. Just a few words. He must have a certain amount of skill and talent to do this go-karting racing. But he was largely given the opportunity to participate because he is a prince. So I understand that a few words would have been okay. That being said, I agree with Marengo in that the Swedes are problably the most forthcoming of the royal families. So it is a tough balance.

[Yennie]

Ofcourse, our royal family is very open and probably more "available" than many others and I´m very happy for that. More news and photos for the people :)
And they have a very nice "balance", allowing the press to follow them, close but not to close.

But I meant this particular case...

[wanderer]

so, who won the go-kcart race?

Right. That´s true. Just a little upset on this particularly case. It´s understandable.

[GrandDuchess]

Earlier in July, one of Prince Carl Philip’s best friends, Johan Bernström, got married. The wedding was held in Brunnby Church in Mölle in Skåne County, and he married Louise Barkman. Around 190 guests attended the wedding, and the dinner afterwards was held at Grand Hôtel Maritime, with a telegram read from Prince Carl Philip who was in the US together with Emma at that time (which I don’t really understand, I would never choose to vacation at the time of one of my best friend’s wedding).

Some pictures from Svensk Damtidning.

Carl Philip gets his wings clipped

Prince Carl Philip has got himself into hot water after competing in a go-carting competition sponsored by energy drink Red Bull.

The dashing prince, dressed in racing drivers’ overalls, took no fee for driving in the “Red Bull Ultimate Driver Race” outside the Royal Palace in Stockholm at the weekend, but pictures of him participating were splashed all over the next day’s tabloids, netting a real PR coup for the makers of the controversial beverage.

Thank you, rchainbo

From the article:

Royal press secretary Ann-Christine Jernberg was on message when Dagens Nyheter called.

“This was a well [chance] for Carl Philip to test his wings,” she told the paper, “ and not to promote Red Bull in any way.”

An other great example for Ann-Christine´s great work Red Bull (which is IMO not more dangerous than a strong coffee) advertises in almost all countries with the slogan "Red Bull gives you wings"

[Dennism]

She´s a clever one, that ACJ! Could she be moving ever so slowly into that cult status that is normally reserved for ETW?
