I just gave my impressions of Jonas Bergström. What I think of Daniel Westling is a completely different matter (there are positive things about him as well, but I'm not as thrilled by him as I am with Jonas).

That I don't have an opinion on. As long as I haven't met or talked to a person, or at least seen the person on TV in an interviewed or something, to give me a better picture of him or her, I'm not gonna go ahead and talk of these things as if I know something...

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.
I'm not sure of anything as I've never met or talked to him, not even seen him on TV in a personal interview - but this is just the impression I have of him. We all have impressions of people we don't know, and this is mine. How reality is might not coincide 100% with it, but that's to find out if they ever marry. And how people are behind closed doors, none of us really knows - but I'm not gonna go ahead and suggest that someone is this or that just like that. Anyone for that matter could easily be something not so great without us knowing a thing.

About the family dinner, my guess is that Victoria and Daniel were on vacation when it took place, and since it was Count Carl Johan that arranged it - you'd have to ask him about it. And I highly doubt that Daniel, or any friend of the royal children, had the King or Queen as table partners at the King's private birthday dinner. My guess there would be on close relatives.

And I didn't say that you are wrong or can't say what you think. I just gave my impressons.
