Jonas is really the dream of a son-in-law, and the King and Queen have accepted him since a long time now, and it's said he's their favourite.
This past summer, Count Carl Johan Bernadotte af Wisborg (the last surviving child of King Gustaf VI Adolf) and his wife Gunilla hosted a small family dinner in the restaurant at Sofiero Castle in Skåne. The King and Queen came from France, and Jonas and Madeleine were there with them. Jonas had the Queen to the table!
So he managed the art of having lunch with the King and Queen in a public restaurant in Sweden - there's still a long way to go for Daniel Westling to achieve that...

Hmm...aren´t you here a little too much lead by your imagination and prejudices towards Daniel? I say that, because I´m often and obviously lead by it...and as you know, I´m also very torn, when it comes to Mister Westling. And just under your post, I speculated that I can´t see too many daddy qualities in Jonas so far...all based on imagination and impression. So maybe I´m not the person to wonder...but how can you be sure, that Jonas is the perfect gentleman? He could be a sod behind closed doors...or he could be totally arrogant...or obsessed with his career (keyword golddigger) And what does tell you, that Daniel wasn´t the Queen´s table partner at bigger family gatherings either? On A side note...One could even say, that it doesn´t speak for the table partner, called Queen, not to invite Daniel to do the same in 4.5 years of relationship.
Well, I respect your opinion of course...and feeling-wise I would also say, that Jonas would be the better prince consort...but I also wanted to drop some kind of new "impulse" into the discussion. In the long history of Royalty Jonas wouldn´t be the first person, who would turn out better or worse, than the first impression would imply...
