Princess Madeleine want to brake up with boyfriend Erik Granat, but Erik has a hard time accepting this.
This is what sources tell Expressen.
Madeleine on her own terms has tried to end the relationship, but Erik has not come to terms with her decision.
The source says that Madeleine feel guilty that her relationship become public and he has become a public person and therefor has a hard time breaking up with him directly.
Erik is now saying that he and Madeleine will meet this weekend to talk things out.
Madeleine said just last week that Erik is passé..

Madeleines kärlekskris

Ett kärleksdrama pågår på kungliga slottet.
Prinsessan Madeleine vill göra slut med pojkvännen Erik Granat.
Men Granat har svårt att acceptera det.
Detta uppger källor med insyn för Expressen.


Madeleine, 20, träffade Erik Granat, 24, via sin bror prins Carl Philip.
Förhållandet inleddes för drygt ett år sedan.
I oktober förra året tog en fransk fotograf bilder på paret i Hyde Park, London.
I våras fick Granat följa med kungafamiljen till Sainte Maxime i Frankrike och i somras bodde Madeleine en tid hemma hos Granat på Gotland.
När det avslöjades att Erik Granat dömts för rattfylleri och misshandel blev besvikelsen och oron stor i hovet.
Madeleines närstående försökte påveka henne av avbryta relationen.
En person med insyn säger till Expressen:

Sedan en tid har Madeleine på eget initiativ försökt avbryta förhållandet med Erik. Men det verkar som om Erik inte är med på dessa noter, han tycks vilja fortsätta relationen. Det har spekulerats i att kungen pressat Madeleine att säga stopp till Erik. Så är inte fallet. Det är helt och hållet hennes eget beslut.
På Expressens fråga varför inte Madeleine gör slut direkt utan bara försöker göra slut, svarar källan:


Vårt intryck är att hon försöker avbryta på ett så mjukt sätt som möjligt. Det är litet av Florence Nightingale över det hela, vi tror att Madeleine tycker synd om Erik som ju genom relationen med henne näst intill blivit offentlig person och som fått sin brottslighet detaljerat beskriven i medier.
Det var ju nästan samma sak med kronprinsessan Victoria när hennes relation med Daniel Collert ebbade ut. Victoria valde att fortsätta kontakten med Daniel men nu på ett kompisplan.
Expressens källor säger att hovet tycker det är en mycket bra lösning att Madeleines förhållande med Erik Granat är på väg mot final.



Vandaliserade öltält
Det som bekymrat hovet är att Granat fortsätter hamna i trubbel även efter domarna. I somras vandaliserade han ett öltält i Visby, för några dagar sedan avslöjades det att han har en skuld hos kronofogden.
Hovet vill inte kommentera frågan om Madeleine och Erik Granat.
Informationschefen Elisabeth Tarras-Wahlberg:
Jag har dels ingen kännedom om det här och dels skulle jag inte ha anledning att kommentera frågan även om jag hade kännedom.
Erik Granat säger till Expressen.
Jag vill inte kommentera om prinsessan Madeleine och jag fortfarande är tillsammans. Jag vill prata ordentligt med Madeleine. Vi ska träffas i helgen. Vi är absolut inte osams.
Granat säger att den senaste tiden varit svår:
Jag vill faktiskt knappt gå ut längre. Det har tagit knäcken på mig. Det känns som om jag inte kan lita på någon, inte ens mina kompisar. Jag har på sätt och vis blivit en helt annan person efter det att jag blev tillsammans med Madeleine.

I wonder what he looks like we see how pretty she is. And what was he in trouble with the police for, does anyone know?

[samitude]

I'm not sure what she saw in him. If he has such a temper like they say he has then I certainly wouldn't want to date him! He's not the best looking guy I've ever seen either, but I guess it's not looks that count. It's the personality and character. Does he really have a nasty temper or was that what a tabloid said?

[Suzanne]

I don't know about his temper, but to act that way in front of a judge doesn't give a lot of credence to his intellect! It was probably the good girl attracted to the bad boy rebellious stage.

"but to act that way in front of a judge doesn't give a lot of credence to his intellect"

Okay, spill the beans. I've been under a rock

From what I read he went in front of the judge and acted like a jerk. He said he couldn't pay the fine for some stupid reason..the judge wasn't impressed by his actions and made the fine like 10 times the original amount! And he had to serve what I interpreted as community service.

[kelly9480]

I guess some of that might have been bravado. You know, that macho guy junk they pull some times when they're in big trouble and won't admit it. But it makes him look stupid all the same.

And if his father's wealthy as has always been written, what legitimate excuse could he have had for not paying? Probably why the judge wasn't impressed.

He looks a bit brutish. Didn't I read somewhere tht he used to bully Prince Carl-Philip at school?

I hope Princess Madeleine finds happiness.

[Jacqueline]

Hi everyone! :)

Tisha, I read the same thing somewhere, unfortunately, I can't remember where. I do remember that there was some definite mention of Erik being a brute and bullying Prince Carl-Philip at school.

alloverpress is down, before you could be a guest and see the pictures, but not anymore. I will try to edit those post soon.

[samitude]

Does anyone know what Madeline is majoring in?

Wasn't it something like fasion design? or something like that? remember she designed her own dress for the Noble awards.

[kelly9480]

I think it's interior design, something to do with the arts. The Nobel dress has been roundly criticised on some boards.

[Josefine]

She will study science of art "art science" this spring and at least to next year at Stockholm University.
I don't know the exactly translation from Swedish konstvetenskap
