Expressen wrote yesterday: The Honeymoon "almost a state secret"
The secrecy surrounding Princess Madeleine's and Chris O'Neills honeymoon is great.
- Not even Princess Madeleine knows where they're going. Chris keeps this with a very small crowd, only a few friends in Germany knows it. Friends who he trusts to one hundred percent, says Johan T Lindwall.
Johanna Lejon from Svensk Damtidning says also that it is very secret.
- They are extremely keen to be at peace on the honeymoon, almost more anxious than Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel were. They were found quite fast and gave interviews but I have trouble seeing that Princess Madeleine would do it. It is planned almost as a state secret.
The court has also put the lid on about everything related to the upcoming trip.
- We will not tell you anything. It is a public wedding in every sense but just the honeymoon they want to have for themselves, says Bertil Ternert.
The court doesn't want to answer if the honeymoon will happen right after the wedding.
- I can not comment, says Ternert.
Both Johan T Lindwall and Johanna Lejon think Caribbean is the most likely destination.
- I believe in the Caribbean. There one can travel around a lot between the islands while being very difficult to detect. It would not surprise me if they make as Prince William and Kate who like to go to the islands as Mustique. There can only be reached by private plane and there are hardly any resorts but you can rent houses, says Johanna Lejon.
When the king and queen married in 1976 they went to Hawaii.
- It is very possible that they decide to do just like the royal couple. In Hawaii there are many resorts that are well protected and have high discretion. That's the main thing - they know that they can be at peace and be on a beach or by the pool without being photographed. They will never go with a regular flight, they will go with a private plane somewhere and then go further, says Lindwall.

That someone would be me
Johan T Lindwall, the tabloid Expressens royal reporter, has written a book called "Madeleine - princess private". I think that's telling.
Yes, Victoria had her moments with the press, especially when she was younger. But she grew into a down to earth young woman with a strong sense of duty. She's able to handle the press very well. Madeleine is a more glamorus princess, but she's also the one who doesn't seem to like the public part about being a royalty. Glamour, yes. Attention, no.
Lindwall has also written earlier a book "Victoria - Princess private"...
I think that Madeleine is a very contradictory person. It is said that she doesn't like publicity and her role as a royal. But when you see her posing at those glamorous events, you can see that she loves every moment of it. Madeleine hasn't haf to do the normal (some would say boring) royal work hardly at all, just the glamorous events.
The guest list tells a lot about Chris' life - and now also about Madeleine's life. There are billionaires, successful financiers, party people from New York's high society elite, fashion designers, sports figures, jewel designers and friends from private school in Switzerland.
