Expressen's royal reporter Johan T Lindwall, who is behind the article about that the wedding dress is from Valentino, chatted with Expressen's readers. He said that he thinks that if a Swedish princess gets married, she should also represent Sweden to the extent that she chooses a Swedish designer for the wedding dress. He finds it extremely odd that Madeleine chose to pass the swedish designers. Nowadays when the Royal House is often criticized, he thinks it would have been smarter by Madeleine to choose a swedish designer.
Aftonbladet writes that Madeleine wanted to have a totally private wedding. But according to Aftonbladet's source the king demanded the TV-coverage.
Six months before Victoria's wedding the agreement of the TV-coverage was made. Only two months before the wedding came the decision about that Madeleine's wedding will be shown on TV. Madeleine didn't want TV-cameras to her wedding. They were discussing about that already before the engagement was published.
Håkan Pettersson, who was the wedding coordinator for Victoria and Daniel, arranges also this wedding. The king and the queen make all the comprehensive decisions, and Håkan Pettersson puts them into practise, says Bertil Ternert.
Madeleine is afraid of criticism. She doesn't want anything in the wedding to cause wrong reactions or provocation. Sources close to the royal family tell that Madeleine has been hesitant. She tried a dress at a boutique in New York, she was going to use the dress in some wedding event. She called to her mother and described the dress before she was able to decide and didn't buy the dress, because the queen thought that the dress was too revealing.
When Madeleine and Chris should choose music which Peter Jöback will sing at the wedding, it was also difficult for Madeleine.
- It should be appropriate for the occasion and at the same time personal for the princess and Chris, says the source.
Madeleine asked help from her mother with the song.
- It is important for Madeleine to have the acceptance of the king and queen in everything, says Roger Lundgren, the chief editor of the "Kungliga magasinet".
