Estelle and Oscar have a new nanny, Isabelle Welch, 25. She was yesterday in Solliden ready to help when Victoria and the family were meeting people.
Expressen's royal commentator Karin Lennmor tells that Isabelle has worked for the crown princess family only for over a week.
Isabelle is Swedish, but her father is british, so english should not be a problem. Victoria and Daniel want always that the nannies should be bilingual. Of course, they speak mostly swedish at home, but they want Estelle and Oscar also to be familiar with and understand english.
Lennmor, who was yesterday in Solliden, tells that Daniel took Oscar to Isabelle and he looked so pleased to end up to her arms. Lennmor writes that the Crown Princess couple don't have to worry. The children will be safe and happy with Isabelle.

According to swedish press, Estelle's australian nanny Katie left back to Australia last November. The children's other nanny Adeline, 26, continues at her job.

One of Victoria's aide-de-camps, colonel Laura Swaan Wrede, is the new commander of Livgardet (The Life Guards). She started at her new job on 8th November.
A historical moment
The regiment, one of the world's oldest and dating back to 1521, is thus getting its first female commander ever.
- It will be exciting and challenging. I am humbled by the task and responsibility assigned to me and really look forward to working with all units here at Livgardet, says Colonel Laura Swaan Wrede.
Laura Swaan Wrede has a long and solid career in the Armed Forces behind her, and has held positions on basically all levels. Her CV also includes international service and she is also aide-de-camp to Crown Princess Victoria.
Ett historiskt ögonblick - Försvarsmakten
- If I'm honest, maybe it doesn't mean that much for me, because I've been the first woman at a job many times. But I hope it means something for my younger colleagues, both women and men, and that you can be a model in leadership, says Laura Swaan Wrede.
- It feels great. It always does when you get new challenges. I look forward to this and working with professional employees at Livgardet. It will be a great time, said Laura Swaan Wrede.

Miguel Riera, one of Victoria's aide-de-camps (since January 2013), works as Joint Operational Command Director at Swedish Armed Forces
On Wednesday evening, June 13, the officer in charge of the Armed Forces received a different telephone call. There was Johan Fenhammar, a physician at Astrid Lindgren's Children's Hospital.
- I called the Armed Forces to hear what they had for the opportunity to support with helicopter transport with doctors and equipment. We needed transportation of a very sick child, in urgent need of dialysis. There was no civil ambulance flight available, said Johan Fenhammar.
Doctors and equipment needed to fly from Karolinska, Astrid Lindgren Children's Hospital and to Kristianstad. There the sick child would be picked up and then fly back to Stockholm and Astrid Lindgren's children's hospital.
Operations Manager on duty Miguel Riera took direct decision to support by helicopter.
- There was never any doubt, we are ready to solve problems. One of the Armed Forces' tasks is to support society as needed, says Miguel Riera.
A helicopter 16 lifted from Malmen at 22.45 to Karolinska to pick up a doctor's team and equipment. The helicopter landed in Kristianstad at 02.41. Staff from Blekinge Air Command (F17) could meet and refuel the helicopter while the doctor team prepared for the return. At 04.41 the helicopter flew back and landed 05.54 in Stockholm. The transport went well and the child arrived in time.
- In situations like this, the Armed Forces show their best side. Three people were involved in the preparations and two hours after the decision the helicopter left. The Armed Forces operate around the clock, the year round and have competent staff who are involved in the resources that are tangible. If we can help, we'll do that, says Miguel Riera.
Möjligheterna var uttömda − då ryckte Försvarsmakten in - Försvarsmakten
At Expressen's article Miguel Riera says:
- The transport went well and the child arrived in time. I talked to the doctor the following day and the doctor said the child would not have managed if we would have arrived later. But the operation went well so it became a success story, says Miguel Riera.

Elisabeth Tarras-Wahlberg, the former Marshal of the Court of HRH Crown Princess's Household, was interviewed on 1st December at Expressen's "Kungafamiljen"-TVpodcast. Tarras-Wahlberg was also the director of the press and information department before she came the Head of Victoria's Household, and worked at the court for 32 years.
The host asks: Vad does a Marshal of the Court do?
- A Marshal of the Court heads the so called Household, a royal person's organisation. I helped the Crown Princess to build her Household, her office, her activities. Then you are responsible for planning and implementing the work and servicing the Crown Princess. At first, I was also the Marshal of the Court to her siblings. But it soon became apparent that it doesn't work, there were three people who were all in different directions and had come to a different stage in their official appearances, so after a while, I think so, we chose to focus on the Crown Princess.
It feels that the royal family has come more and more folksy. come very popular, Victoria and Daniel are very popular? Would you say that you come close to them when you work with them, are you with them on Fredagsmys ("cozy Friday")?
- I can not say I joined the Crown Princess's cozy Friday with her fiancé. But you came close, not least while traveling. Then it happened that you had breakfast together, talked about the day's program. I was commissioned, I remember the Queen said: Elisabeth has been here for so long that Elisabeth knows how we think the things should be. I had been the press officer for so many years, and I had been a mentor for the Crown Princess for a couple of years. She came back from USA and began to take her first steps back to public life. So I helped her and at the same time I was the director of the press department.
Do you miss that time?
- Yes, of course, I miss, I miss the daily contacts with my colleagues. It becomes like a big family, we who work around. We all have one thing in sight - to facilitate the work of the royal family. Then it's not so hard nowadays to stay in contact, both with the Crown Princess and my old former colleagues.
The host says that when she looked at Victoria visiting the National Library and looking at old photos of Daniel, she started thinking how their relationship began. And you worked with Victoria. How was it noticed that she was in love with Daniel?
- Now I have to think about it. As I said before, the private was private. And somewhere, I eventually understood, she met him after she came back from USA because she was looking for a gym simply. Then his gym was recommended for her. And that was when they met. It was not that I noticed that she was at the gym extra often. But she told me eventually, when exactly I can't really remember. But it was also with the media, I remember when they once should go to Ockelbo by car and were chased by a journalist. And it was almost dangerous at the traffic. And then the bodyguards that followed called me and said "Can you help us somehow, because this doesn't work, this hunt is dangerous here in the traffic". So that way I also got to know a little ... I never asked, I know from my own experience that you don't always want to tell.
When you think about this, would you say that they wait a longer time than a normal person would do to introduce their new partner to the king and queen?
- I don't think it is because of the family, it's still a pretty closed circuit. But when you then take the step in public life, then you want to make sure everything ... that you're really sure. One is so in focus and it has been speculated so long about so many different boyfriends, I remember when I was the director of press deparment, German weekly newspapers began to get crazy with the Crown Princess and mainly about the Swedish royal family. And she was barely a teenager when they began to marry her with Ingemar Stenmark and Crown Prince Felipe, there were new partners every day. It is clear that in that situation you want to be sure that you have chosen the right one.
You've been on all trips with Victoria and worked with her, did she ever ask any advice in matters of love ?
- No.
They show Victoria’s visit to Vienna and the reporter asks: How much they prepare themselves for these kind of trips?
- Very much. I don't want to focus on just the Crown Princess. It begins, of course, that you have a correspondnce, you are invited, or in this case the Crown Princess takes her own initiative. You have contact with hosts and plan the time schedule and content, and then the Crown Princess and the royal couple also spend a lot of time reading materials in advance. Sometimes they will give a speech, they prepare for it, they will practice the speech and everything, it takes many hours.
December begins, and many major festitivities, Queen Silvia turns 75 years and then then there are the Nobel festivities, it's like a dinner of a official dinner. Is it the same thorough planning for Nobel festivities?
- The Nobel festivities, where the royal family are guests, at least when I was employed at the court, it was prepared by that the Nobel Committee came always to the Palace. Where you reviewed the different prizes and the Laureates, they gave information at the meeting and also written information. And then, of course, for the ladies, the hairdos and dresses are coordinated. I'm not going to say it is routine, because there are always new prize Laureates and new programs and so on. But the royal family wants to keep track of the program, they don't want surprises. And then the day after the royal couple is hosting a dinner for the Laureates at the Palace. So then it is a representative dinner.
Do they like these festivities?
- Yes, I absolutely think so. And I know they see these Nobel festivities and dinner at the Palace as a way to get acquainted with new knowledge and get to know the world, the society, the development.

Elisabeth Tarras-Wahlberg, the former Marshal of the Court of HRH Crown Princess's Household, has also been interviewed by IN Stockholm magazine, published in November.
Crown Princess Victoria came very close for you.
- The Crown Princess's birth was one of my first assignments as the court's PR-assistant, so I've been with through her entire life. Meanwhile, my job was then placed at the Royal Palace, while the royal family, right after the birth of Princess Madeleine, moved to Drottningholm, so when the royal couple's children were really young, we did not meet so often. It was only when the Crown Princess became a little older and began participating in official missions as I became her mentor, and then on her Marshal of the Court, and then we traveled a lot together, which helped us to get close to each other. There are many nice memories and our friendship remains.
It is said that during your 32 years at the court, you have never ever "duat" (used the the second-person singular pronoun/to call someone by their first name) the king, is it true?
- Yes. And it's not as strange as it may sound. "The king" will be the equivalent of a first name. The Crown Princess and I, on the other hand, say "du" in private but never in an official context, there she is always the Crown Princess. And it is simply about respect for the public office. One clarifies her role as ambassador, both for the royal house and for the country.
