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 isnīt 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.
