Princess Christina and Carl Otto Werkelid were today as guests at TV4's Nyhetsmorgon/News norning, to talk about their book.
Jenny Strömstedt asked: Firstly: How do you want to be addressed?
- It will go very well with Christina! answers princess Christina.
- It will go well with Christina? How nice. Then we have it in place. We're not used to having a royal visit here in Nyhetsmorgon, says Jenny with a small laugh.
- Yes, but we'll have to change that just in case! Christina states then.
Christina tells that they have collaborated on two books in the past that have dealt partly with Drottningholm Palace and its history, and partly with a book about her grandmother. And then they also talked about Josefina, as she was called when she came to Sweden. And then they considered that this would be an exciting personality to try to approach. Christina has tried to reach Josefina through generations, there is a difference of six generations.

Princess Christina and Tord Magnuson have for a long time had a third family member, dog Nero. Last summer Nero died.
But now princess Christina and Tord have welcomed a new addition to the family. Tord tells that of course there are certain feelings, but now it is like that. It's great fun, the puppy is happy, lively, kind and friendly.
The little puppy is a jack russel like Nero and Tord says: Once a jack russel, always a jack russel.
Their new little friend is five months old, called Trixie. They have had it for two months. She has Nero's old toys so it's going well, says Tord.
Princess Christina and Tord will attend the Nobel Prize ceremony. Tord says that it's always festive with Nobel.

Princess Christina and Carl Otto Werkelid have been interviewed by Kyrkans Tidning, an editorially independent newspaper with the Church of Sweden and ecclesiastical issues as its main areas of coverage.

A headstrong woman with high integrity, who fought for her faith in an intolerant Protestant Sweden.
To draw the image of Queen Josefina, Princess Christina has used her own experience of court life to get close to her. Distant in time – but close to me is the subtitle of the book. Because it is strange this time, says Christina who sat on her great-grandfather Gustav V's lap who in turn sat in his grandmother Josefina's lap. Josefina, born Joséphine, goddaughter of Napoleon. The final feeling for Christina is that it is not so far away, the generations flow together in terms of time.
It's the third time for Christina and Carl Otto Werkelid, former head of culture at Svenska Dagbladet and cultural councilor in London. After books about Drottningholm Palace and Christina's grandmother Margareta, it's Queen Josefina, or Joséphine, the name she herself used and also the authors, that captured their fascination. The idea has been with them for quite some time. Even when they wrote their first book, they thought Joséphine was an interesting person, but other things got in the way. When they were asked by the publisher about another book, Christina at least had a pretty clear idea of ​​who she wanted to write about.
Christina talks about the many purely physical bonds that exist between her and Joséphine: The have lived in the same house, on the same floor of Stockholm Palace, they have lived in Haga, Christina has gone to the school that Joséphine helped set up.
About their creative process they say:
- I talk a lot, says Christina and laughs. You are sharp and experienced interviewer, Carl Otto. You quickly pick up on what I say, think and think and then put it in print and then process the text a couple of times.
- It's a different book in that way, says Carl Otto Werkelid. We didn't want to repeat what we did last time when we read a lot in the archives about Crown Princess Margareta. The idea this time was that it would be Christina's image of this person who is at the same time a relative and a historical person.
A lot more about the book and Joséphine at the interview:

Hacker group Medusa threatens to leak tens of thousands of files with information from the private hospital Sophiahemmet, if they are not paid. Medusa wants around SEK 10 million in order to access the data or ensure that it is deleted. About 20 screenshots have been published on the hidden part of the internet, called the darknet, as proof that Medusa has the information they claim.
In screenshots there is a list with a number of names, including Princess Christina's, who was honorary chairman of the Sophiahemmet foundation for over 40 years.
Tord Magnuson says that they don't know about this. He confirms that both he and Princess Christina are patients at Sophiahemmet's family doctor practice. Tord doesn't think Christina is particularly nervous that someone would steal something and publish something from there.

Prinsessan Christina nämns i sjukhusläckan

60 000 filer från Sophiahemmet är till salu på darknet efter en hackerattack. På ett ställe nämns prinsessan Christinas namn. – Jag tror inte hon är särskilt nervös, säger prinsessans make Tord Magnuson.

Princess Christina and Carl Otto Werkelid tell at Hemmets Journal about their book of Joséphine.
Princess Christina says that they are very happy about the fantastic richness of images in the book. The photographs not only illustrate Joséphine's life, but a very eventful and exciting time in Sweden's history. And the cover is really nice. Joséphine was only 15 years old when this young man, who was quite handsome at the time, came to visit. She fell for Oscar's charm. Considering that she hadn't met many men before, he was perhaps her very first crush. At the same time, she was well aware that a marriage would be arranged for her and that she had to cope with it as best she could. It was just the way it was.

Joséphine: Drottningen med en okuvlig drivkraft

Hon kom till Sverige som 16-åring för att giftas in i kungahuset. Trots motgångar, förluster och svek visade hon under hela sitt liv stor omsorg för behövande.
