Sweden's most well-known event organizer Micael Bindefeld celebrated on Thursday his 60th birthday. The birthday was celebrated in Tel Aviv, one of Micael's favourite towns, and he flew 142 of his friends there to celebrate for five days. Bindefeld paid everything, the flight and the hotels. There have been also some party leaders and the press has been written every day about them celebrating and if it can be seen as a bribe. The celebration with chartered flights, hotels and parties costs millions. Micael Bindefeld has a fortune about SEK 100 million.

Some of the royal family's friends have also been there. At the birthday party yesterday:

Micael Bindefeld is also known of the Micael Bindefeld's Foundation in the memory of Holocaust. He founded in 2014 his Foundation in order to support those who have a desire to communicate, provide information on, photo insert, or otherwise disseminate knowledge to a wide Swedish audience with stories of the Holocaust. Bindefeld donated five million SEK to the foundation and told at the interviews that he will donate the most part of his fortune to the Foundation in his will. Many of Bindefeld’s relatives were executed at Holocaust.
Queen Silvia, Victoria, Daniel and princess Christina have delivered the scholarships from Bindefeld's Foundation.

Andrea Brodin and Cedric Notz spent the weekend at the archipelago.

Linnea Taube, the daughter of king Carl Gustaf and queen Silvia's friends baron Per Taube and baroness Åsa Taube, married today Leonard Johansson, the son of king Carl Gustaf's friend the late count Carl Adam "Noppe" Lewenhaupt's widow countess Lee Lewenhaupt.

Finally a happy day for Noppe Lewenhaupt's family - despite the pouring rain.
We reveal! The bride Linnea Taube wore a dress created by the royal's favorite designer - Göran Alfredsson.
It is the children of two of the royal couple's closest friends who got married - with each other! Per and Åsa Taube's eldest daughter Linnea Taube, 29, said yes to Noppe Lewenhaupt's stepson Leonard, 32, and there is a long line of well-known faces now sitting here in Gustaf Vasa's church. Among the guests are artists such as Carola Häggkvist, Christian "Kicken" Lundqvist and the Queen's friend Catharina Stenbock.
Leonard and Linnea have known each other since they were children, but it was on a crayfish party that their friendship grew to love.
The bride had chosen seven bridesmaids who were beautifully dressed - even those in Göran Alfredsson's design.
Linnea and Leonard got engaged in January this year, more specifically in Thailand, where the Taube family has a large house.
Linnea's parents Per and Åsa Taube were among those who supported Noppe's widow Lee the most - and in conjunction with that, their respective children became a couple!
- I know Noppe is smiling in his sky. He would be so happy that Leonard marries his dear friend Per Taube's lovely daughter, says one of the wedding guests to Svensk Damtidning.
Leonard and Linnea had themselves participated in and selected the music in the church. Their friend Fredrik Benedict Nybladh sang Ted Gärdestad's "For the sake of love" and the bride and groom also had with David Bowie's "Heroes" during the ceremony.

Linnea Taube is the daughter of the real estate billionaire Per Taube, who owns, among others, the city of Arlanda, Steninge castle and Stockholms auktionsverk.
Per Taube is close friend of King Carl Gustaf and the two have also done real estate deals together.
Linnea Taube works in the rich Widforss hunting shop in Stockholm, where her father's company is part owner.
Leonard Johansson was the stepson of the King's friend Noppe Lewenhaupt, who tragically passed away in 2017.
Now Leonard Johansson runs the exclusive Noppe membership club in Stockholm.
The happy couple

Well, well... when mum is the widow of a count and the son marries the daughter of a baron apparently being a mere Johansson isn't good enough. There's a Swedish saying about borrowed feathers that fits well right here...
I'm sure there are a few conservatives at the House of Nobility that are spouting fire after hearing the news [emoji23][emoji91]

King Carl Gustaf and queen Silvia's friend Stefan Persson (72) resigns from his post as the Chairman of the Board of H&M. His son, Victoria and Daniel's close friend, H&M's CEO Karl-Johan Persson (44) is the new Chairman, he resigns from his post as CEO.
For the first time in H&M's history, the company will have a female CEO, who also does not belong to the Persson family. Helena Helmersson becomes new CEO.

“After more than 20 years as chairman of the board, Stefan Persson has decided not to stand for re-election at the spring general meeting on May 7, 2020. Stefan Persson wants Karl-Johan Persson to take over as chairman of the board at the AGM. The Board has therefore decided that Helena Helmersson will succeed Karl-Johan as CEO”.
- It feels super exciting to be able to join and lead H&M forward, says Helena Helmersson, who received the job offer directly from Karl-Johan Persson before Christmas.

Hennes & Mauritz AB said its 72-year-old chairman, Stefan Persson, is stepping down as the billionaire patriarch of the fashion retailer hands over the reins to his son, the current chief executive.
Karl-Johan Persson will in turn hand the CEO role to Helena Helmersson, its chief operating officer, according to a statement on Thursday. She will be the first woman to run the company in the seven decades it has existed. Its shares jumped 10% in Stockholm trading.
Persson the younger, a 44-year-old billionaire in his own right, has been CEO of H&M since 2009, steering the retail fashion giant through a cycle of transition that included a huge shift to online shopping and greater consumer awareness of the need for sustainability in clothes production.
The outgoing chairman said it was “a natural change, after 20 years as chairman, to hand over to Karl-Johan.” He said he will “continue to be a committed owner, just as today, but from a different position.”
Helmersson is herself a long-standing H&M employee. She started in 1997 as an economist in the company’s purchasing department, and did a five-year stint as sustainability manager. She’s been COO for just over a year.
“I feel confident in handing over the CEO role to Helena, who is an experienced and great leader who embodies our values. Helena will continue to work on the plan that we have adopted for 2020 and onwards,” Karl-Johan Persson said.

Svensk Damtidning's article about Daniel's friends.

Daniel has his friends from his life before he met Victoria, but after meeting Victoria he got to know Victoria's large circle of friends. Now his friends include also powerful entrepreneurs and well-known athletes.
Ice hockey legend Peter "Foppa" Forsberg is Daniel's close friend. Their joint hobby is golf, they play often together and during the summer they are also seen together at private dinners and concerts on Öland.
Another powerful friend close to Daniel is H&M's ceo, soon the Chairman of the Board, Karl-Johan Persson and his wife Leonie, who became Victoria's friend at school. When Daniel came to Victoria's life, he and Karl-Johan bonded right away. Victoria is the godmother of Karl-Johan and Leonie's son Ian.
Another close friend of Daniel is Peder Dinkelspiel, married from 2003 with Victoria's friend Caroline. The couples spend time together.
Jacob de Geer, founder of iZettle, is an inspirator at Prince Daniel's Fellowship Entrepreneurial programme and visited schools with Daniel. They have been in the same circles for many years. Another Daniel's close friend from Prince Daniel's Fellowship is its chairman Marcus Wallenberg.
Alessandro Catenacci, the ceo of Nobis Group, has been Daniel's friend since 2000 and has also been involved in Prince Daniel's Fellowship.
Elin Kling, designer and founder of Totême clothing line with her husband, is also an inspirator at Prince Daniel's Fellowship and has became Daniel's friend during the years.

Princess Madeleine and Chris O'Neill's friends Natalie and Dag Werner are moving. The couple is now leaving the large floor at Östermalm, Svensk Damtidning tells.
It is one of the renowned real estate agent Lagerlings who has been commissioned to sell the fantastic apartment of 143 square meters. The starting price is SEK 19,500,000 and you can see the large rooms and the beautiful view in the brokerage pictures. Like Madeleine, Natalie Werner is interested in interior design, which is evident in the sober style and the selected design furniture. The floor is at one of Stockholm's finest addresses and the princess has been there on many girl dinners over the years.

Bathina Philipson, wife of king Carl Gustaf's friend Aje Philipson, is one of the contestants at swedish Let's dance this spring, starting on 20th March at TV4.
https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Br5OspxvY/

TV profile Bathina Philipson takes the dance floor at "Let's dance" this spring, and has been advised by the winner Kristin Kaspersen.
Husband Aje Philipson will sit in the crowd cheering on his wife.
- He knows that I think this is fun, and says it suits me, says Bathina Philipson.
In Wednesday's "News Morning", another contestant for this year's season was revealed by "Let's dance" - the TV profile and King's friend Bathina Philipson, 41, will swing her hips in front of a million audience in TV4 this spring.
- I am so happy to have the opportunity, I am sickly grateful. It is a competition, but imagine having a private trainer in dance as well. I'll just drive and have fun, it's the best happiness pill ever.
Bathina Philipson says that she accepted yes right away when asked.
- I've dreamed of being with myself for years, I like to learn to dance. Then they build a puzzle every year. Linn Westerlund, a cast member, asked me if I wanted to join. Then you should play hard, but I could not play theater, I just: "Yes yes yes, God what fun!", She says.
The profile did not consult with husband Aje Philipson or their three children before making the decision.
- My kids know it has been a bit of a dream for me.
Husband Anders "Aje" Philipson is all the more supportive of his love's dream to learn pair dancing.
- He knows I think this is fun, and says it suits me. But it is positive that the children are a little bigger, so they are quite self-sufficient and do not need childcare all the time.
Bathina Philipson's husband Aje Philipson is an old friend of the king - but there will be no royal support in place.
Will we be able to see royals in the studio?
- No, you won't see that, says Bathina Philipson, and continues:
- But you can see me, I'm the queen of society, she jokes, about the picture of herself.
However, she expects support from her large family - husband Aje Philipson has six children from previous relationships, in addition to the three children the couple have together.
- I came from a big family as well, and thought that now I should have a little quiet and nice, and then I met a man with six children and had three children with him.
- We could fill out the entire studio, I don't think everyone can come at once.

King Carl Gustaf's friend Erik Belfrage has died in covid-19. The top diplomat turned 74 years old.
Erik Belfrage, a diplomat, business leader and friend of the king, died during the night to Saturday in the suites of covid-19, the disease caused by the corona virus, writes Aftonbladet.
The King and Belfrage have spent a lot of time together, including during state visits abroad. They have also been hunting together. Belfrage has also served on the board of His Majesty Carl XVI Gustaf's prize "Årets nybyggare" (The New Entrepreneur of the Year Award).
The King and Belfrage are almost exactly the same age - both were born in April 1946 - and both of them attended the Sigtuna Boarding School.
