Princess Madeleine's Internship at UNICEF in New York; January-June 2006
Madeleine arrived at Newark airport in New York city yesterday!
Together with her friend Lovisa de Geer she left Stockholm early on Friday morning and arrived in New York at 13.00. She was welcomed at the airport by Johan Lindwall, reporter at Expressen.
- It´s fantastic to be here. I am going to enjoy the time here and do lots of things, Madeleine said.
Yesterday morning Madeleine boarded SAS flight SK 903 to New York in company of her friend Lovisa de Geer and a bodyguard.
During the flight Madeleine sat on seat 1a in buisness class while her friend flew coach. But she went to talk with Madeleine several times during the flight.
When the plane landed in New York at 1 o´clock, Madeleine was welcomed by staff from the swedish consulate and three bodyguards from Secret Service.
Madeleine and Lovisa laughed and were in high spirits when they passed the passport control.
Madeleine smiled when Expressen was the first who welcomed her on American soil.
- Thank you, one could´ve guessed you would be here and say hello, she said laughting.
Madeleine was in high spirits and there was no sign of tiredness after the almost 8 hour long flight.
- This is going to be so much fun, she said while she stowed her bags in the car
Have You been in New York many times before?
- A few times, but I´m definitely no New York expert.
What are you planning to do here?
- Unicef primarily. But I hope I will have some time off aswell
Anything special you wish to do during your time here?
- I don´t know... I think I have to "land" first. Then perhaps I can tell you.
A week ago Expressen gave the princess some good "what to do in New York" tip. Have you read them?
Madeleine laughts:
- I saw that, but I haven´t have time to read them but perhaps I will now that I´m here.
Madeleine laughts again:
- Now we have to go, she says and takes a seat in the car with her best friend Lovisa de Geer.
