Princess Madeleine Current Events Part VI (August 2004-January 2005)

[GrandDuchess]

According to the Royal Court, Princess Madeleine will move to her new apartment within the Royal Mews around Christmas time. The apartment is three rooms and a kitchen.

If you look at previous news from ealier on about Princess Madeleine, you can find articles (translated and not translated I think) and pictures of the Royal Mews from earlier this year, when the press found out she was going to move.

SLightly off-topic, what's with the reference to "Prins Carl Philips" ?

Just that Princess Madeleine's apartment comes courtesy of her father the King, just like in the case of Prince Carl Philip who has an apartment in connection to the Royal Palace of Stockholm.

Thank you.

Just to clarify : You mean Carl Philip lives "downtown" in an apartment in the Kungliga Slottet ?

Didn't Carl Gustav and Silvia live in the Kungliga Slottet until Victoria came along, and then they moved out into the basement suite of Drottningholm?

Carl Philip lives in an apartment at Slottsbacken. I dont think the apartment is in the palace itself, but in a building close to it.... anyone knows for sure?

The royal family moved to Drottningholm in 1981, just in time for christmas.
The royal couple wanted the children to be able to live a more free life and be able to play outdoors, and that was not possible in the large Palace in central Stockholm

Don't know if this is the right thread, but Madeleine is on the Hola poll for most attractive woman of 2004.

She must have been sweating like a "stuffed pig" in that down jacket !
- was it that cold outside (between car and store)?

[Dennism]

The highs in Stockholm lately have been just above freezing. Anyway, I think it´s her "all-purpose" jacket.

with a black hood belonging to her infamous down vest underneath?

[Yennie]

oh, some new pics! Nice :)
So she is a IKEA fan to? Wonder what she bought?

[GrandDuchess]

Wow, cool pics! Thanks so much for posting them Humera! Finally some new pics of a royal in "private". It seems as she was looking for kitchen ware, and other stuff like that. So this was Princess Madeleine's 3rd visit to IKEA that we know of, right? The woman who is with her looks familiar, but I can't place her. I would say she's from the Royal Court.

Pink cap and those boots..cute
I´m very pleased to see, that Madeleine seems to be a person, who doesn´t only shop for the most expensive, but for the things she likes (expensive or not...I bet, she also was at more exclusive shops for interior design)

And now a little (senseless) comment from my side...I also own a few of those blue cups, which you can see in one of the pictures. I use them to drink hot chocolate
