He looks like he´s really enjoying his time in the US and the children seem to have a lot of fun too:) I always thought he has brown eyes but in the picture above they look green-blue-ish...It´s really difficult to see it clearly because he is always wearing glasses but after taking a close look at some photos I believe he doesn´t have brown eyes,but they are beautiful no matter what colour they are :)
 
I really like it how Daniel can take centerstage effortlessly if he has to on being guest of honour and how proudly he represents his home country. OTOH if he is with his wife or his wife and her parents, he effortlessly fades a bit in the background and lets them be at the center of attention. He never appears out of place, IMHO, always just right for the occasion. That's absolutely perfect for a successful consort.

I completely agree, Victoria chose well!
 
Judging by this trip to NY I think the Swedes really hit the jackpot. Daniel seems so relaxed and comfortable in his own skin that it enables others to relax around him which makes for a great ambassador. A Prince among men in fact!

He has great presence and seems to create a sort of "chilled" atmosphere around him which enables him to mix and mingle in a warm and relaxed way and effortlessly dominates the proceedings without demanding attention.

Perhaps he picked up a few tips from his lovely wife.
 
About Daniel´s Monday in New York:
First he visited the Swedish UN delegation. Then he visited UNICEF and World Food Program. During the lunch he met several Swedes who work within the UN. After lunch, he had a tour at the United Nations headquarters, where he also listened ongoing session of the General Assembly on the theme of social development.
In the afternoon he visited Gotham Greens in Brooklyn, a large greenhouse with the minister for Rural Affairs, Eskil Erlandsson.

Remember back in the day when Daniel was getting nailed because "He's nothing more than a Trainer. W/out a doubt not even close to being thought of as a worthy partner and husband to our Crown Princess." and other such nonsense?

Well, has he ever proved all of those naysayers wrong and then some!! Yes indeed, Victoria chose *very* well. I'm betting that not only is Victoria proud, but Their Majesties must just be so incredably proud of Daniel as well. They also have to be paying close attention to how Daniel is doing in NYC and they must just be so incredably proud of how he's been performing his duties. :eek:)
 
Daniel said that it was great to visit Harlem. He lunched at the restaurant of swedish chef Marcus Samuelsson. He was asked how is it to travel without Victoria and he said that everything is going fine.
Chef Marcus Samuelsson praised Daniel after the visit.
- It's great to have him here, we had a great time. He took the time and listened when we talked about Harlem and our area.
During the afternoon Daniel met members of the organization Mando Group, which operates a program to help people with different types of eating disorders.

I'm absolutely impressed how well Daniel is doing on his trip and how great he is representing his country. He will be a perfect consort once Victoria is queen, she couldn't have made a better choice.

OTOH if he is with his wife or his wife and her parents, he effortlessly fades a bit in the background and lets them be at the center of attention.

Kataryn, you have said it far better than I. I had noticed his " effortless fade" routine but it hadn't really registered. I guess that is another measure of his success. Either Prince School is really paying off or his on-the-job with Victoria is a winner!

I guess he really loved his wife and has a deep and honest respect for her and her parent's constitutional role, thus he really accepts their (higher) place and wishes to support them wholeheartedly. I bet he will never do anything that either hurts his wife personally or threatens her public position.

Daniel participated in Washington 25th October an event of lobbying organized by The Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce in Washington DC.
"The participants at this briefing event remarked how pleased they were that Prince Daniel seemed genuinely interested in their lobbying endeavors and that he asked insightful questions of the presenters which really kept them on their toes."

From Daniel´s speech at the "From Farm to Fork":
"Swedish men, if I may generalize, do not wait longer at the table to be served. They are no longer just experts at dealing with the grill, but have become team players in the kitchen", said the prince before a laughing audience.
"Several chefs have achieved celebrity status and inspired talented young men and women to go into the restaurant business. It has also inspired people in general to be more creative in the kitchen."
Finally, Daniel took up the paradox of the one billion people are starving, while one and a half billion people are overweighted and struggling with heart disease.

Thank you for translating,I think Prince Daniel made some good points and seems to have a good sense of humour! He is doing really well on his US-tour,now he has proven even his worst critics that he is good at representating his country,giving speeches and doing everything which is expected from a modern royal (like visiting schools etc.) I am glad that he is getting along with everybody so well and talks & listens carefully to the people.

From a blog of a woman, who attended the gala dinner in New York and the seminar next day.
About the dinner:
It was a very relaxed Prince who made the entrance, greeted with a nod of us who stood at "parade" and soon engulfed in the amount of people who wanted to greet royalty - and no, I did not go forward, did not think it suited to real .. .
Our Princess was stunningly beautiful in a black sparkly form-fitting creations with hair hanging down over her back.

About the seminar:
Princess Madeleine and Prince Daniel were present and the prince gave an appreciated and good speech, he was very relaxed and he said greetings to us all from his wife - who also would have attended, but due to pregnancy and the advice of her physician did not to travel here but had to stay home in Sweden and let her husband and her sister represent instead - good choice I think.
