You could almost call it Crown Princess Victoria's secret life: that everyday life that is actually not so different from yours and mine.
That was the case, for example, on Wednesday night when Victoria suddenly appeared in a neighborhood restaurant that only has a tray service. And it was she who went around and asked everyone in the group what they wanted, before she stood at the bar and made the orders for the whole gang: Six children, six mothers and the nanny.
And earlier this year we saw her regularly at Stockholm City Mission and their meeting point St Paul on Södermalm. There she packed food packages for the elderly and vulnerable who could not get out due to the corona crisis.
When Princess Estelle went to preschool, Victoria was also a very committed mother, and it was required because the preschool was run as a parent cooperative. So when it was cleaning days, Sweden's Crown Princess stood there in the courtyard raking leaves.
And if you were to meet Victoria, Daniel, Estelle, Oscar and the dog Rio out in the woods, you would quickly see that this is a skogsmulle family that likes barbecue sausages and is generally super common.
But maybe it's the case that if you live in 42 rooms and a kitchen and have a household, that is, staff who make sure that the home is orderly and that the day-to-day management flows on - well then maybe it's luxury to be able to do a little yourself?

The grass is alway greener right? Same as common people would love to be Royal for a while Royals have always loved the novelty of playing “regular“ folks for a time. Just QEII washed dishes and baked on family outings, Marie Antoinette had her sheep and so on Princess Victoria gets her joyful Domestic Experience. We all need a Vacation and She won’t be able to indulge Nearly as much when She is Queen.
 
Fashion designer Jennifer Blom at her interview in Svensk Damtidning about Victoria wearing her clothes:
The first order for Crown Princess Victoria I got through stylist/chambermaid Tina Törnqvist, who had seen my fashion show in 2016, and liked my brand and what it stood for. Hand-sewn garments in Sweden in sustainable materials. It was a success all over the world when Crown Princess Victoria wore the Nobel dress in 2017. A lot happened after that. It was very prestigious and a great honor to receive that assignment. When I got the call, it felt unreal. The whole world looks on the Crown Princess that day. Everyone is waiting for the prestigious dress. It was very big and cool. Of course you get nervous but I am very confident in my design. I also felt that it was very fun that Crown Princess Victoria cares about Swedish design.

Marcus Wallenberg, the Chairman of the Steering Group of Prince Daniel's Fellowship, a friend of Daniel and the royal family, has got the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Science's (IVA) Great Gold Medal.
At The Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Science's magazine "IVA Aktuellt" is Marcus Wallenberg's interview.
At the interview Marcus Wallenberg says that for example, Prince Daniel's Fellowship has become an important investment because the initiative and its
mentors in one way or another help entrepreneurs to build their businesses. You can't do it just yourself, perhaps help is needed with a board for instance.
Prince Daniel's Fellowship was launched in January 2013. For a few years now Marcus Wallenberg has been involved in the IVA project and is the chairman of its steering group.
Wallenberg says that he is a bit tech freak. It comes from the Wallenberg Family's commitment on the research side. But it is also about running companies and developing them. Wallenberg has had the privilege of working with larger companies, and to some extent with smaller companies.
And if there is an opportunity to be involved and help for example with the Prince Daniel Fellowship venture, then you can really get involved.

Daniel and Estelle were on 16th June 2019 at FIFA Women's World Cup in France, at the match between Sweden and Thailand.

Linda Sembrant talks about her championship memory from the match between Sweden and Thailand at the Youtube Channel of Swedish Football. Sweden won 5-1 and Linda scored the first goal.
Linda tells at the video about meeting Daniel and Estelle:
After the match it was fun. The prince and Estelle were there. They came to the dressing room, it was a fun visit from them, and Estelle was really charming and very energetic and was very happy and very pleased with our performance, so it was fun.

This is what Crown Princess Victoria's everyday life looks like at these corona times: Between her and the driver there is a transparent plastic wrap.
On hers and Daniel's visit to Sörmland Victoria said that they try to adapt themselves and their work and be as smart as they can be. Keeping distance and hand hygiene, a lot of hand sanitizer.

Thank you for the photos - it's nice to see that Estelle regularly gets royal history lessons that are not too intense at the same time.
 
Today is The Father's Day in Sweden.

Svensk Damtidning congratulates all fathers with a photo of Daniel and Estelle

Svensk Damtidning writes about what Daniel has said at a couple of interviews some years ago. Carolina Neurath interviewed Daniel and asked how Daniel gets it together, the so-called family puzzle? Daniel appreciated that he was seen as just a family man. Daniel said that it is a good question. He is a modern father, who tries to take great responsibility in the home as well and be involved in transporting, just like his wife. Daniel couldn't answer the question of how they get there, it's very early mornings and a little sleep.
In an interview with Aftonbladet Daniel above all praised Victoria. He said that he is incredibly happy that he has married such a warm, wise and very good person who is also a fantastic mother. That gives their children an incredible security and good opportunities, it is much easier to grow up with two warm parents who give a lot of time and energy and love into their children.

:previous: Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel are one of my favorite royal couples. On Sweden's Father's Day how beautiful that Prince Daniel credits his fatherhood to his marriage with CP Victoria. "He is incredibly happy that he has married such a warm, wise and very good person who is also a fantastic mother. That gives their children an incredible security and good opportunities, it is much easier to grow up with two warm parents who give a lot of time and energy and love into their children." Happy Father's Day to Prince Daniel.
 
Influencer Katrin Zytomierska told at her podcast some days ago, that she was walking around Djurgården with her father and watched dogs, especially mixed poodles, as she was considering getting one.
She saw a group of people a little further ahead, a woman had a dog. And that dog was so cute. She greeted the dog, and looked up to ask the dog owner what breed it was. There stood Crown Princess Victoria. Katrin admits that she got starstrucked. She has never met Victoria in real life. She said: "No, but God, it's you" to Victoria. And that Victoria is so professional, really nice. She looks really good.
Victoria, who was with the family's cavapoo Rio, told about the dog breed. Katrin tells that they talked for a while. Katrin felt like such a fool and says that it was so exciting to probably meet Sweden's next queen as well.

Malin Roos writes at her chronicle in Femina Magazine: It's time for Prince Daniel to take command of the pandemic
Malin writes that Sweden needs a person who leads and unites the people in the crisis, and she knows who. The more she thinks, the more obvious one person becomes. Prince Daniel, of course!
Malin writes that Daniel has a kidney transplant and is therefore at risk group. He is married to the heir to the throne and is passionate about health issues and has now a great chance to strengthen that position. Above all, he is from Ockelbo, one of the people.
Malin reminds that royals should not interfere in politics, but this is not politics: it is about life and death and simple common sense; wash your hands and take care of the elderly and sick.
All that is needed is a royal man of the people who tells it to the people. Malin encourages: Come on, Prince Daniel, it's time now.

How is Daniel perceived in Sweden?
According to this article, one can infer that he has a lack luster appearance and needs a new initiative something to put him into the spotlight.

I don't get that impression from this chronicle, Malin Roos didn't mean that at all. Malin Roos thinks that Sweden needs a public person to lead Sweden in this crisis with covid-19 and because of Daniel is passionate about health issues and belongs to the risk group, he would be the right person to the job. In addition to all this, Daniel is a great speaker, who always finds the right words and doesn't need notes to be able to give a great speech. In my opinion Malin Roos is totally right.
Daniel has a strong focus on health issues from his commitment to organ donation issues to initiatives Prince Daniel's Race and Pep Day. And his active work at Generation Pep, an initiative of The Crown Princess Couple's Foundation. He delivers Generation Pep's Årets Peppare Prize at the National Sports Gala every year. Daniel and Victoria are very involved in the work of The Crown Princess Couple's Foundation. Daniel is Honorary Chairman of the Board of the Swedish Heart-Lung Foundation, is very involved in the work of the Foundation and has given his name to Prince Daniel's Grant for Promising Young Researchers. Daniel has been the patron of A Healthy Generation Foundation since it was founded and is involved in its work as a member of the Board.
Daniel is also committed to enterprise and works to promote entrepreneurship among young people. He visits the Swedish Young Enterprise Championship every year, and is a member of Young Enterprise's national board. The Prince Daniel's Fellowship and its entrepreneurial programme, a long-term partnership between Daniel and the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences, was launched in January 2013. Daniel visits upper secondary schools, universities and university colleges around Sweden to inspire young people to get involved in entrepreneurship. The program also organizes Prince Daniel Entrepreneurial Days to inspire new young entrepreneurs and has a mentoring program for young entrepreneurs. Daniel has regular meetings with the mentees of the mentoring program and visits their companies.
Daniel is also very interested in art. The sculpture exhibitions at Royal Djurgården in 2016-18 were initiated by Daniel and he inaugurated the exhibitions. The Princess Estelle Cultural Foundation was founded in autumn 2019, Victoria and Daniel are the initiators of the Foundation. Daniel is a member of the Board of the Foundation, which organized this summer its first exhibition "Alice Aycock at Royal Djurgården", Daniel inaugurated it. On 17th November the Foundation told at a press release that The Princess Estelle Cultural Foundation builds a permanent Royal Sculpture Park in Stockholm.
Daniel doesn't need a new initiative to put him into the spotlight. He is in the media all the time because of his work. Daniel gets very good press in Sweden, he is seen as hard-working and professional and is the member of the royal family, who is most often interviewed by the newspapers, radio and TV at the events of entrepreneurship, sports and health.

The Covid situation in Sweden has become much too dire with Swedish deaths more than three times their three closest neighbors. The experiment in creating "herd immunity" in the Spring and Summer to beat the expected Autumn/Winter seasonal increase has been a spectacular failure and a new regulatory approach is being argued.

Daniel participating as a "the life you save could be your own" supporting a mask mandate could work as all Sweden knows about his health.
 
Victoria gets a food bag from Felix
Felix gives Nobel Week new forms when the Nobel dinner is rolled out
In December every year, when great thinkers and well-known guests are served, a well-composed and innovative menu is served. To fill the void of canceled festivities Felix presents "Nobullemiddagen" with a unique menu, a climate-smart three-course menu for the whole family that everyone can cook at home.
Food bags with good ingredients are sent to Victoria, Prime Minister Stefan Löfven, Minister of the Environment Isabella Lövin and other guests who would have been present on site.

Antiques expert Peder Lamm turns 50 and has been interviewed by Aftonbladet
An odd detail is that you ran into Crown Princess Victoria when she was dating Daniel?
- When I was a bachelor, I lived in the same house as Daniel on Östermalm. We did not know each other, but we took the elevator together sometimes. One night I came home after a late night at Riche's, then there were some people there. Wait, who was that? It was Victoria and Daniel, but I looked discreetly at my shoes and pretended not to have seen anything.

Expressen tells that a person tried to enter Haga Palace on Thursday.
Margareta Thorgen confirms that an incident has taken place and says that there was some kind of incident at the gates, but there have been no burglaries. It's a police matter. Thorgren was asked if anyone was at home? She said that they don't share that information, but it is known that a lot of work is done from home nowadays.
Gabriel Wernstedt at Säpo's press service confirms that he "knows the information" that a person has tried to enter Haga Palace, otherwise, they refer to the police.
Stockholm Police Press Secretary Eva Nilsson says that there is no suspicion of any crime and that no person has been checked, the police has been at Haga Palace and talked to the security guards who are always there.
