I liked the way Daniel break the interview and said that he wanted to answer to one question too, to what only Victoria and answered. And when they talked about picking blueberries, Victoria said that Daniel was mostly watching and the documentarymaker asked "what about mushrooms, are they too down too?" Daniel said, laughing "I can bend me".

Is there a translation/transcript of the interview? I saw the interview some time ago and although my father tongue Dutch has similarities, to me it was just too much babble I could not understand.
In the new bio Victoria tells that she had to get used to Daniel's kind of humor at first.

Here´s something about the interview:
Victoria tells about Daniel: There is much that is special about Daniel, to me he is a person I have great fun with. I think many people have great fun with him. I love Daniel's sense of humor. And Daniel is very straight. He has a tremendous ability to reach people. To communicate. He also has an ability to get people to relax in his vicinity. And he has a big heart. We share a lot of interests together. Sports, we like to ski and run together.
Daniel says about Victoria: Victoria is an incredibly warm person, the image the most people have of her, is just right. She is very down to earth.
Daniel says that they sometimes like different things but they argue hardly ever.
Daniel says that when one meets his great love and gets to spend time with that person, then years and time just fly away. Daniel says that they both have had long working days. But they were very determined to deepen their relationship and he says that he needed this long time to see and learn, if this is a role (to be a prince) and situation he will cope with. He said that during the years it has felt better and better and by the engagement he felt that this feels good and he was ready.
The documentarymaker asks from Daniel, how was it to meet the king and ask for the hand of the crown princess? Daniel tells that he asked for the hand of the crown princess, but only after many years, and just like Victoria has friendship with his family, Daniel had built up a very nice relationship with her parents. The situation was quite natural, not dramatic at all.
Daniel says that his goal is to support the Crown Princess as good as the Queen has supported the king.

Thanks LadyFinn, for some info on this interview.
It is cute that Daniel was nevertheless a bit nervous when he proposed to her. They must have of course discussed marriage before, because they were working towards a permanent situation, but still, I can imagine there was still a small voice that said she could have said no (or 'not yet'). But instead she said 'ja,ja,ja, ja'. I am happy for them, it shows that their love is deep.

I think Victoria gave him hints like. "I talked to dad today, he said he really would want grandchildren soon, WINK WINK" or more straightforward. "Talked to dad today, he said its ok to get married, so now its fully up to you."

The interviewer asks: What are you waiting from the time before the wedding?
Daniel: Just to be able to show our love as we have done today, it feels fantastic.
The interviewer: So tomorrow you can walk at the streets and feel free (to show their feelings)
Daniel: We haven´t had a problem with that even before, but it is a wonderful feeling to be able to show our love to the whole world, it feels very special.
Victoria: And we are looking forward to have an own home, to build a family, of course. We don´t have lack of plans.
Daniel: Absolutely not.

The oldest swedsh PM alive was the witness at her birth and he only saw her face and couldnt tell the gender. The former PM Goran Persson was asked if the goverment discussed Victorias anorexia. He was quiet for a wery long time then answered: "We discussed it with her". Victorias old teacher was interwied and the only thing negative she could find about Victoria was that she was a bit to energetic to do things right and the documaker asked Victoria if that was what behind her illness and she said it was
Second part is more of Daniel. His Best friend Andreas Nylin was interwied and he said that the teachers and coaches couldnt place him and Daniel in the opposite teams because it usually ended with someone of them getting hurt. Daniel is a wery competitve person and really hates to loose. The fact that he wouldnt end up with Victoria never crossed his mind. The first year he played for Hofors hockeyteam they went to the former Chechzoslovakia and Olle Westling taped a lot and (at that time) embarrassed his son. During a linechange Olle shouted "Hoho, Daniel, wave to the camera."
Andreas Nylin also said he didnt know where the media got everything from that Daniel couldnt act socially or speak english.
The documentury also had a small discussion about the monarchy.

Nothing much was said in the video. Mostly how she spent a day working at different locations

A video of Victoria and Daniel at the wedding of their friends Sophie de Geer and Marcus Josefsson on the 29th september 2007. They came separately and the swedish press wrote that the king had denied them to come together.

I post it also here. It's a Finnish TV news clip from 1995 showing part of Victoria's speech on her 18th birthday, and waving to people from the same balcony as in her wedding 15 years later.
