Is there video of little Henrik speaking?

This is seriously not a cheap shot - but look at this pic of Emma...funny or kinda gross? ANP Beeldbank

It is really all just relative. I am also American, so I think, "Oh wow he has no accent." In general I am always amazed at how well all Scandanavians speak English; not just their vocabulary or mastery of the language but by their lack of a strong vernacular accent (does that make sense?)...

Thank you for the video! He speaks english very well - although I suppose that is not too surprising.

What language would she have spoken at Haakon's wedding?

It is very bizarre - one would think that a story like that would have gotten a lot more press if there was even a small element of truth to it. That being said - the school that CP attended is definitely not for kids with learning issues. It is very academically rigorous.

No I have never heard of this. What kind of scandal? Is this why he was sent to the states at such a young age?

Actually, it is a very academically rigorous school - my husband interviewed there once. That is odd then - considering that Carl Philip does have learning issues....

This has probably been discussed at some point - but I was wondering whether anyone knew why Carl Philip was sent to boarding school in America at such a young age?

I know there have been discussions on this before (I just can't find any) but how well does CP speak English? Didn't he attend school in America when he was younger? Thanks!

The princess looks very pretty in that pic

I don't think this applies anymore because Queen Silvia was a commoner. The King had to wait until his grandfather died and he ascended the throne before he could marry her, but he did marry her. Neither crown prince in Denmark or Norway married women with royal backgrounds either.

What bothers me about the switch in roles between Carl Philip and Victoria is not gender based at all. In fact, I think that if there is any "fair" way to pass down the crown, it is simply to give it to the oldest. However, I do not like that Victoria has not been expected (or maybe...

I have always loved Sophie. She has such a natural beauty about her. However, sometimes I think she looks much dowdier than she really is. Maybe she is just not that obsessed with clothes, and has more important things to think about :)
