Skippy:
1) The problem is she should know that talking to the press about anything in the royal is a big NO NO. What she says is not the problem, that fact that she *talked* is the problem. In time who knows what would slip out of her mouth even by accident. To keep that from happening, *Don't talk to the press period*.
If CP isn't objecting to her behaviour here, what right do we have to object?
I think people often forget that Sofia is a celebrity in her own right. Whether you respect the choices she made before she met CP or not, she was a person with a level of fame and a relationship with and attitude towards the press that was developed well before her current relationship. While it may be breaking taboos around being with a royal (or quasi-royal) it is a fact. Consider the Tindalls in Britain - Mike and Zara, both being celebrities in their own right because of their careers have a relationship with the press that is very different from Zara's royal cousins. Mike doesn't get criticized when he answers questions about his personal life, and shouldn't be, because that's the relationship he developed with the press well before he met Zara. It's not because he's using her for fame, it's because he was famous before her.
I think a big reason why Sofia (and Gad for that matter) get this criticism while people like Mike don't is that the public generally approves of Mike, but disapproves of Sofia and Gad.
2) You don't know what the royal family feels or thinks, your not privy to any conversation that they might have regarding this girl and the up coming marriage. Don't assume that you do and if you do know them for a fact on a personal level, why would you even talk about it?
Neither side is privy to the personal thoughts of the Swedish Royal Family on this match. Those who are against Sofia are determined the family is against it, and those who are okay with her think the family doesn't mind.
To me it looks like the family is publicly supporting the relationship. CP was given permission to marry her. Madeleine chose to congratulate them on her Facebook page. I'm not sure if Victoria has done anything public in support of her sister-in-law-to-be, but I doubt she's publicly done anything against her either.
Sofia's been around for awhile now, and appearances seem to suggest that the family is accepting her, regardless of their feelings about her past. That's my interpretation though, you're welcome to see it a different way.
3) CPC seems to want a girl that will walk 3 steps behind him, I get the impression that from his past job experiences, designing, farming courses, etc, that he is very insecure within himself as to who he is as a man and a prince. He seems to want a girl that will always be at his beck and call, not some one who is intelligent, strong, mature, career minded, a Barbie doll so to speak. That is what he got. I wonder how she will speak to all those that attend the Noble Peace Dinners for all those are very highly educated, intelligent, hard working people with whom the world knows all the good that they do, people to be highly respected in their fields and what they do. I know that I would have a hard time talking to them and I respect them for what they do.
I actually think it's rather common for royals to want spouses who shine a little less than they do. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, even if it does sound bad.
If you marry a royal you're committing yourself to a life in the spotlight and to a system where your spouse - regardless of gender - is always higher than you. Daniel will never be as important as Victoria. Camilla, and Diana before her, will never be as important as Charles. Letizia will never be as important as Felipe, and so on. The relationships that work and last in this system are the ones that have both partners realizing and accepting this and the "lesser" one finding some way to thrive in the shadow. A good example of this, in my opinion, is HMQEII and the DoE. He found a niche that he fits into perfectly and a way to shine without ever overshadowing his wife. Like it or not, this is something of the role that Sofia is headed for.
The way Emma gets described, as this independent, career-minded woman, makes for amazing qualities in a woman, but not so great qualities in a royal bride.
Don't worry about her, I see that you have a big crush on her
and she is the perfect princess, she and PCP will enjoy their lives together, they don't even have to work for a living, and they can go race cars, so sailing, go clubbing, go shopping and just enjoy life without a thought to anything. They are having their cake and eating it, what a life.
Is it really necessary to attack people in such a manner when they disagree with you?
