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

[Gita]

Spray tan can cause cancer?! Yikes! I thought that fake tan is the only "safe" way to tan without using sunbeds and sitting out in the sun?

[megknight]

I don't believe that has been proven yet, especially with the new Mystic tans. Plus anything is better than baking in the sun.

This is the only thing I´ve found about Madeleines visit to Hälsingland yesterday

Dagen då Delsbo fick kungligt besök
DELSBO 2004-09-03
Prinsessan Madeleine kom och sågs men sade inte specielltmycket offentligt när hon besökte Delsbo i går.
Men hon överlämnade EU-priser, plakett och statyett, på Hälsingegården Ol-Ers i Väster-äng, Delsbo.

Priserna gavs till EU-projektet Hälsingegårdar för dess arbete med det arkitektoniska och jordbrukshistoriska kulturarvet.
Detta övergår nu i ett nytt, treårigt projekt som kallas Kulturarv Hälsingegårdar.

More pictures from Madeleine yesterday in Hälsingland...IMO she looks a little bit less tanned...maybe she has stopped it (???)

Madeleine stop tanning? Are pigs now flying? I don't think Madeleine will ever stop tanning although maybe she is more cautious about how much of it she does.

I actually looked at these pictures and thought she looks more blonde, too. (Although being more blonde would accentuate her tan right? So the opposite of Lena's theory?)

[Yennie]

Her skin definately looks much better now... but whats with the tie? Not her best look imo :)

*g* well, I´ve just tried to expect the best from Madeleine´s side...maybe Mamma Silvia had a serious discussion with Madeleine about tanning...or maybe brother-in-law-to-be Daniel gave her one of his trucker-caps to protect her from the sun

Oh, yes the tie...a very conservative style...her style reminded me of a similar style, which Victoria wore on a little visit to a province in spring 2001. Unfortunately I couldn´t find a pic, otherwise I would have posted it.

But more than her tan or tie this time her hair "worried" me...it looks like straw....maybe or rather probaby the extensive dyeing has to be blamed.

I´m surprised at the lack of photos. Maybe IBL will have some as the weekend goes on.

What is she holding in her arms?

[Lena]

Does anybody (Yennie?) know which grades Madeleine had, when she has left public school (compulsary school/grundskolan) in 1998? I ask because I´ve just read, that her grades weren´t sooo good (at least not comparable to her grades on the private school, where she has passed her final exams in 2001)

Slut på lata dagar och champagnekrig
PARIS.

Efter flera månaders ledighet har prinsessan Madeleines vilda fester med Hollywood-stjärnor på Franska rivieran tagit slut.
Nu börjar allvaret.
- Madde har haft en underbar sommar, men nu ska hon koncentrera sig på studierna, berättar en av vännerna.
Prinsessan Madeleine har latat sig ordentligt under sommaren. Efter ett par veckors ledighet i Stockholm åkte hon ner till Öland för att fira kronprinsessan Victorias födelsedag.

Blev fly förbannad
Men Madeleine fick ingen ro på Solliden.
- Hon var fly förbannad på alla utländska fotografer som svärmade som flugor kring deras bostad. Hon fick helt enkelt nog, berättar en av vännerna.

Drog till S:t Tropez
I stället reste Madeleine och pojkvännen Jonas Bergström ner till S:t Tropez där de under flera veckor umgicks med sina kompisar i solen.
Paret bodde inte i kungafamiljens hus i S:t Maxime utan valde en mer privat bostad där de fick vara för sig själva.
En favoritsysselsättning för prinsessan under sin ledighet var att handla dyra designerplagg i modebutikerna.
- Hon var särskilt nöjd med en blus som hon bar under flera kvällar därnere, berättar en av kompisarna.
Under flera sena nätter besökte Madde också S:t Tropez mest trendiga inneklubbar.
En kväll festade hon bland annat på samma klubb som filmstjärnorna Uma Thurman och Johnny Depp.

Sprutade champagne
I prinsessans sällskap fanns också vännerna Tom Ahldin och Louise "Lussan" Gottlieb.
- Gänget stod på ett av borden och sprutade ner varandra med champagne. Notan gick på en bra bit över 40 000 kronor, berättar en källa.
Men nu är de vilda festerna med Hollywoodstjärnorna över.
Häromveckan återvände Madeleine och Jonas till vardagen i Stockholm.
Nu ska hon fokusera på en 20-poängskurs i etnologi vid Stockholms universitet.
- Hon går in för studierna, men mest av allt gillar hon att umgås med sina vänner - och så shoppa förstås. Men vem gör inte det, säger en av vännerna.

The above article is from Aftonbladet.se.

Another thing. I read in the paper this morning an interview with a shoemaker that had gotten an order on a pair of handmade shoes from Madeleine. He said that he feet were size 37 (that's Swedish sizes, I'm sorry but I can't translate it) and that her feet were very nice. No flaws. So Madeleine has quite small feet. :)

[Dennism]

That would be between a size 6 and a 6 1/2 in the US, and a 4 1/2 in the UK. That´s kind of small but that´s okay. My shoe size was not even listed in the chart I used! :)

[Lena]

Thank you for the article, Cissan.
So Madeleine went to St. Tropez to get rid of the Paparazzi at Solliden -> *loooolll*
And all this talking about shopping in this article...when I look at Madeleine´s top/blouse in the pic with Jonas it looks as if she went shopping in 2002 for the last time...at least then I´ve seen ppl wearing such blouses for the last time
Her hair looks better/healthier in the pic with Carl Philip than at her offical duties lately.

[Lena]

More from Hälsingland...what was Madeleine doing in the fifth picture??

Yes, Yennie knows :)
Madeleine moved to Enskilda Gymnasiet when she started 6th grade, in 1994. Before that she went to Smedslättskolan and Carlssons skola.
I dont know if she had straight A:s in 8 & 9th grade but I dont think she went from a C student to an A student over night.
So my guess is that she had good, or atleast average, grades in junior high.
But we can never know for sure, because the royal childrens grades are confidential (because they went to private schools)
Its only Victorias grades from her graduation (studenten 1996) that has been public. Dont know if that was accidential...

[Lena]

Princess Madeleine´s final grades at Enskilda-gymnasiet were published! I couldn´t find the article...but an other article, in which is mentioned that she had 14 times the best grade. http://www.expressen.se/expressen/js...ly.jsp?a=59597 And I remember that the other article also talked about one C in maths. So her grades were pretty much the same grades, which Victoria had.
To be honest I have asked, because I had a little "suspicion". Couldn´t it be that her grades became better in private school? I´m sure all of us had from time to time the experience at school, that some students were favoured. And wouldn´t you agree that there is a certain danger, that a teacher at a private school favours a prominent student even more. I mean this school was very expensive and has the reputation to be very good and to "push" their students to the best. So wouldn´t you (as teacher) feel led into temptation to give this student a better grade...of course not an A instead of a D...but in some cases one grade better. And when then the grades become public (which is high likely) you seem to be a great teacher and the headmaster of this business "school" could market this school even more as "elite academy".
But that´s only skeptical Lena, who´s saying this...and I´ve to say that the source, from where I´ve heard, that Madeleine hadn´t the best grades in middle school, isn´t the best...further Madeleine has now at her PUBLIC university good grades too.
