I´ve tried it. As I´m not really talking English and Swedish, it can be a little bit confusing :P I´m already seeing Josefine, as native swedish speaker laughing, in my mind

I think that you did a good job Lena...

What language do you talk?

[Lena]

Yes, I´m asking myself the same. And what means officially, I can´t remember that Elisabeth Tarras-Wahlberg or one of the Royal family talked about e.g Mattias Trotzig as Madeleines boyfriend. So I´m a bit confused. Is the guy, which leans with his head so ...öhm...tight on Madeleine, on the attached picture Pierre, was he just a summer flirt? What makes a princess Madeleine-boyfriend to an official boyfriend. And wasn´t a guy called Mikael Söderblöm (or something like that) her first boyfriend?!

Thank you Josefine! My mother tongue is german (I´m from Austria). I´ve learned english at school, and now I´m trying to learn french and swedish. But I´ve to say that swedish is for a german-speaking far more easier to learn than french (at least the vocables , the pronunciation is another thing ). Maybe I will do more translations from Aftonbladet/Expressen for you. It´s a great chance for me to learn!

hi everyone! I see that there are many pictures of Crown Princess Victoria from all over press that I haven't seen before, although there are watermarks on it - it still looks lovely and rare. i just wonder if any of you have lovely & rare pictures of Princess madeleine too from all over press or polfoto. thanks so much

[nouwrein]

please...

[nouwrein]

I hope Princess madeleine will attend this years Nobel Prize ceremony - where will it be held? In Sweden or some other country? I wonder what gown she'll wear. She should try purple or lavender, then she'll match it with the Leuchtenberg sapphire tiara. Do you think the Queen will allow Princess madeleine to wear that tiara? It will surely look good on her.

hereis the article

Körde bil på gågata

"Madde" missade sju förbudsskyltar
Här bryter prinsessan Madeleine mot lagen.
  Hon kör nära 300 meter på en gågata innan hon parkerar bilen utanför en affär.
  På vägen passerar hon sju skyltar som tydligt markerar att det är förbjudet.
  Vid lunchtid i går kom prinsessan Madeleine körande längs Strandvägen på Östermalm i Stockholm. Hon färdades i hovets ljusgrå Kia Sorento och var ensam i bilen.
  Efter Dramaten svängde hon höger och fortsatte upp på Nybrogatan - trots att den är en gågata.
  Vid infarten sitter en stor skylt där gatu- och fastighetskontoret informerar om att biltrafik endast är tillåten i följande undantagsfall:
  Transporter av rörelsehindrade, boende och gäster till hotell.
  Transporter av gods och leveranser.
 
"Moraliskt ansvar"
  Enligt reglerna får bilar köras maximalt en kvarterslängd på Nybrogatan. Aftonbladets fotograf Per-Olof Sännås, som blev ögonvittne till händelsen, kunde konstatera att prinsessan färdades längre än så.
  - Hon fortsatte över Riddargatan och upp till Östermalmstorg. Där stannade hon utanför en affär på höger sida, säger han.
  Efter cirka 10 minuter kom Madeleine ut på gatan igen.
  - Hon stannade och småpratade med föraren i en annan bil. Sedan körde hon iväg.
  Förutom anslaget med reglerna för biltrafik på gågator passerade Madeleine under sin färd sex skyltar med tydlig fotgängarsymbol.
  Mats Baakki, chef för citypolisens trafikenhet, är upprörd.
  - Även om prinsessan inte är ensam om att köra på gågator borde hon känna större moraliskt ansvar. Eftersom hon är känd påverkar hon allmänheten mer än andra. Dessutom är det märkligt att hon körde den vägen. Det normala hade varit att åka via Riddargatan.
 
Klagomålen ökar
  Enligt Mats Baakki har trafikmoralen i Stockholm försämrats de senaste 20 åren.
  - Vi får in flera klagomål om dagen när bilister genar över cykelbanor och gågator.
  Gatu- och trafikborgarrådet Rogert Mogert (s) är förvånad över Madeleines överträdelse.
  - Hon borde naturligtvis följa trafikreglerna. Reglerna gäller både blåblodiga och andra.
  Olovlig körning på gågata straffas normalt med 600 kronor i böter, enligt Mats Baakki.
  Enligt regeringsformen är det bara statschefen, alltså kungen, som inte kan åtalas för sina gärningar

here´s what happend:

Princess Madeleine was driving her car in the centre of Stockholm Yesterday. Nothing special about that, BUT she was driving on a pedestrian street. She seems to have missed 7 signs showing that car traffic was prohibited.
The chief of the Stockholm Police's traffic unit is upset. He says to Aftonbladet: "Even if the Princess is not the only one who drives on pedestrian streets, she ought to feel a greater moral responsibility. Because she is well known, she effects the public more than others."

[Lena]

Hoho, 7 signs (?!)-even lout-driver-Lena hasn´t managed that until now ( -no actually I´m a careful driver).

"Olovlig körning på gågata straffas normalt med 600 kronor i böter, enligt Mats Baakki."
Means that, that she hasn´t paid for her delict or does it just mean, that they don´t know, what she has paid for that?

[Yennie]

I dont think she got a ticket (hmm not sure about that word but a note you get when you´re driving illegal)... she just got noticed by a member of the press, not a policeman

[Teresa]

I'm curious, what car does she drive? :)
