Great video! But in the scene where Victoria, Carl-Philip, and Madeleine are on the balcony and the crowd is singing a song, what song is it? It sounds very pretty, and I'd never heard it before.

I noticed that the videos of the Swedish family were scattered throughout the threads and I thought we should have a main place to watch them

YouTube - Crown Princess Victoria in Vimmerby

In the one above I think it is German The Crown Princess is speaking in English and has an amazing accent... I'm American and I don't sound that good!

YouTube - 30th birthday of Crown Princess Victoria

YouTube - State Visit Sweden to Denmark

State Visit Sweden to Denmark

This is when she was a kid. How can I just post the link? I wish the whole thing wouldn't pop up. I just hope the mods don't kill me

YouTube - Crownprincess Victoria with Queen Silvia at her office

It´s no docu really...more a programme with many interviews and some video material to introduce a question to the ppl being interviewed.

IMO a real docu on the RF is so overdue! There hadn´t been one, supported by the court, for ages. Watchers of other Royal houses get so many great ones...and in Sweden: nada. Of course it makes sense for them...as it would just raise a few questions on marriage...and babies. If one is following discussions on the RF, it´s these days either "abdicate" or "get children"
Now it´s questionable, if programmes like "Your Royal Highness Westling" really help to get the two persons to the altar.
A thing, that is remarkable...they are all discussing it, as if it would be a matter of fact, that V&D would marry. Ok, this is likely by now. But there is nothing, that would indicate it for real...so IMO state TV shouldn´t broadcast things like this at prime time.

I would be so much more happier if I could understand even two words of Swedish. The only word I do know is the word no, which wouldn't help me understand what they say in the slightest bit. I don't suppose someone could sum what they say or anything interesting that gets said?

Re: Documentary on Daniel Westling. I agree with Commoner that it is disappointing that we cannot all understand Swedish. However, I did find that my opinion of Daniel's feelings for CP Victoria were confirmed. He was entering along the side with a group of CP Victoria's friends. When he saw her exit into the courtyard, he turned away from the group and stood there smiling at her with so much love. She waved at him and touched her lips very briefly. It was a small moment, but said much. She is very lucky to have someone who loves her so much. Very few women have ever had a man break away from his friends and stand there in public looking so lovingly at them. If all the people who downgrade him as unsuitable for a Crown Princess could just look at that small part of the video, they would finally get it. As many mothers-in-law will admit, their sons-in-law were not good enough for their daughters, not suitable. They want their daughters to marry someone they envision. Hopefully, their daughters ignore them, marry for love and are happy with their choice. Marrying someone suitable to please your parents (or critics) usually ends in great unhappiness and divorce.

I am watching the documentary. I was wondering are you referring to the scene near the beginning of the video. Daniel is looking and the footage leads you to believe that Victoria is waving at him. I had thought this part was seperate footage photoshopped to make it seem they were looking at each other

[ruthieviews]

In response to your comments that the pictures were unrelated and pasted together. I revisited the video and find that CP Victoria is wearing the same clothing, as did the Queen in both scenes where she is waiving and he is looking at her and smiling. They appear to have been at the same event. Why can't we believe that he really does love her and that she really does love him and that they managed to get the message across in the midst of a public appearance. This does not appear to be a faked scene. Is perhaps your anti-Daniel feeling taking hold?

It's definitely looking cleverly cut. The pictures of Victoria is from her 30th birthday - being greeted by the people outside the Palace in Stockholm - see the youtube video of the original event in this post by Lena: http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/640885-post72.html No Daniel.

She is clearly waving at the people who usually gather outside for such public occasions, and not Daniel, who I don't think is present in the crowd at all on her 30th birthday - as a matter of fact, weren't the newspapers blowing up stories that he would have to stay hidden?

You see the same thing with cutting going around in the beginning of the documentary, when they want to suggest a wedding is forthcoming, but are using footage from the Danish and Norwegian weddings, including Haakon and Mette-Marit's hands in church It's nicely cut - making it seem more romantic - but I don't think it is real.

Here is a link to a video from when Victoria went to the UAE in April 2008. It shows a small clip of her giving a speech in English. The video should pop up. If you have a pop-up blocker you click on "Kronprinsessan Victoria besokte Dubai"

Here are 2 videos about Daniel's move to the palace apartment.

I am really impressed! Victoria is totally natural - speaks English flawlessly with almost no accent and seems charming. She really comes alive on a video.

Anymore of her interviews in English??

I'm not sure if these have been posted before. I think they're part of a longer documentary, has anyone watched it?

I watched them they were shown in Finland. At the first part only Victoria was interviewed, at the second part Victoria and Daniel.

Its avalible on DVD in stores now. I saw it when i was shopping yesterday. Its also avalible on the online rentalstore called lovefilm.

I think its strange that SVT play dont have her 18 year birthdayspeach avalible. Cant find it on Youtube either

When the show first aired i missed it, didnt think it would be that intressting to watch so i missed the SVT interwiew with them.

The documenturymaker asks Daniel about the first meeting, he hesitates to answer and Victoria interveens: I didnt do any impression, right? and then smiles. He then cools down and answer: You made a big impression even then.

Through the entire interwiew he is a bit defensive and stiff, just like the TV4 interwiew a bit earlier.

I had a feeling that the hesitation of Daniel was a little bit of a joke from him, Victoria has told that they share a same sense of humour. I think that the interview was much better than the TV4 interview before. And I don´t think that Daniel was stiff at all. 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".

There's a short clip on the thread on her 18th birthday (I asked someone to post it). I agree it would be nice to see the whole ceremony though. I'm disappointed I missed the documentary even though I don't understand much Swedish.
