It has been two and a half years since Peter Forsberg, Nicole Nordin and their three children moved from Stockholm to Zug on the outskirts of Zurich. They have gotten into everyday life well and the kids have made friends. They have always liked Switzerland, but now they feel better anchored here, they both say. Nicole is the driving force in the shoe company Inuikii, which is headquartered in Switzerland. Nicole has a degree from the Stockholm School of Economics. After his icehockey career, Peter studied for a year at Stockholm School of Economics and the Cruyff education that is there for former athletes who want to go into business. Now he is involved in many companies. They have always been involved in charity, and in Zug they are involved in Her House Foundation, which helps women and children, as well as some other charity initiatives. They have rented a house in Zug so far, but eventually they want to buy an own house. They see no hurry to return to Sweden.

Svensk Damtidning tells that Andrea Brodin's parents, king Carl Gustaf and queen Silvia's close friends Hans Eric and Eva Benita Brodin have put their home Loviseberg on sale again. It was on sale last August but was quickly removed.

There are memories for the royal family about the 1860s villa, the royal family has been to parties there many times. Here Victoria played as a child and celebrated as an adult, in Loviseberg in Ulriksdal Palace's park. Andrea Brodin, Victoria's friend since childhood, grew up in the stately villa of 394 square meters. And Andrea and Cedric Notz got married there in front of family and friends, among them Victoria and Daniel.
Now the villa is on the market again, 12 rooms and a kitchen for SEK 59 million. In addition, there is a stable with three boxes, a garage for three cars with a guest floor and a former tennis court.

Daniel and Victoria's friend Anna Z Ek:
After 18 years as a press photographer, Anna Z Ek felt she needed to move on. The course for web editor at Poppius became the springboard.
- I probably would not have even come to an interview for my current job without that education, she says.
For just over a year and a half now, Anna Z Ek has been the web editor and responsible for social media at Stockholm City Mission. A job she really enjoys.
- I do a lot of content and still get to take photos, write, film and meet people. I am very happy that I went to the education and ended up here, she says.

Many of royal family's friends among the richest Swedes

1. Stefan Persson (friend of the king and queen)
Wealth: SEK 223 billion.
Ranking on Bloomberg's top list of world billionaires: 79.
For several years now, the richest Swede has been Stefan Persson. His father Erling Persson founded Hennes & Mauritz in 1947, and Stefan Persson took over the position as CEO in 1982. In 1997 his son Karl-Johan Persson took over the baton. Stefan Persson was the Chairman of the Board of H&M from 1998, but also left that position in May 2020, and Karl-Johan Persson became the Chairman of the Board.
For a long time now, Persson has bought a large number of shares in the clothing giant, and together with his family he will soon own the majority of the company - 49.7 %. It has been speculated whether Persson wants to buy out the company from the stock exchange completely - and with this pace, the family would own 90 % of H&M in five years.

His son Erik says that his father's relationship with the king started through his brother's marriage to Princess Christina.
Per's wife Christina Magnuson remembers that it was always nice when Per and the king hung out. They met mostly in social contexts. When they sailed many years ago, and at larger parties. There were many happy laughs.

Holocaust survivor Emerich Roth is dead at the age of 97, his family tells DN.
With the Association of Holocaust Survivors in Sweden, he has visited both associations and schools to tell about Holocaust.
Emerich Roth was born in 1924 in what was then Czechoslovakia, he was only 19 years old when Nazism came to his hometown.
Roth was imprisoned in five different concentration camps, and only he and his sister Elisabeth survived. After the war, Emerich was 175 centimeters tall and weighed 34 kilos. He was in hospital and received a letter from someone with the same last name, which was his cousin. The letter stated that his sister had survived and was in Sweden.
He came to Sweden in December 1950 and trained and worked ​for 30 years as a social worker.
Förintelseöverlevaren Emerich Roth är död

Svensk Damtidning
An important person in Crown Princess Victoria's life has passed away. Holocaust survivor Emerich Roth passed away at the age of 97.
Victoria has met Emerich on several occasions and his story has touched her deeply. They have also met privately and Emerich was a close friend of the royal family, who are now in great grief.
Editor-in-chief Johan T Lindwall remembers Emerich with warmth:
"The Crown Princess had the greatest respect for Emerich and over the years they met many times, both officially and privately. I was with them several times when they met and the respect that existed between them was enormous. Emerich was a great role model for the Crown Princess and the rest of the royal family. They are now mourning a friend".

Daniel and Victoria's friend Peter "Foppa" Forsberg becomes official ambassador for "The Hockey Academy" of swiss hockey team EV Zug, EVZ. Foppa, Nicole Nordin and their children have been living near Zug for around 4 years now, and Foppa's two sons play at EVZ's youth team.
EVZ is proud to have Peter Forsberg, one of the best ice hockey players of all time as an ambassador for "The Hockey Academy". The 48-year-old is a member of the "Triple Gold Club" and has won 2 Stanley Cups with Colorado Avalanche, 2 Olympic gold medals and 2 world titles with Sweden in his career.
"Peter Forsberg is a mastermind. With his name and his person, he is the perfect ambassador for "The Hockey Academy", even beyond national borders. He has incredible know-how and brings years of experience from the NHL and the national team", says Reto Kläy, General Manager of EVZ.
Peter Forsberg says: "I regularly attend EVZ games with my children, who play in the club's youth team. It is a privilege for me to be part of this organization as an ambassador. With The Hockey Academy, EVZ has created a perfect training concept that offers young athletes the best conditions to become a successful ice hockey player and at the same time to get a good education. Hopefully, with my experience, I can help make The Hockey Academy even better."

- It feels great. I understand that he has done great for MSG (Rangers TV channel) over there. He is incredibly careful, I noticed that when we played together, but it will be hard to sit next to "Lunkan". There will be new clothes every five minutes to be able to measure up to him, laughs Forsberg. (Lundqvist is known also for his style).

Loviseberg, Ulriksdals Slottspark – Skeppsholmen Fastighetsmäkleri Sotheby's Realty

Villa Loviseberg, Hans Eric and Eva Benita Brodin's villa was sold in October.
Expressen:
The National Property Board Sweden has bought a luxury villa of almost 400 square meters in a palace environment just outside Stockholm, which the authority states will be used as an evacuation home for as yet unknown tenants.
Price tag: SEK 59 million.
The sellers: some of the royal couple's closest friends.
- The house will probably be empty throughout 2022, says Peter Wallin, property director at the National Property Board Sweden.
Statens fastighetsverk köpte lyxvilla – ska låta den stå tom

Svensk Damtidning quotes Expressen's article
Villa Loviseberg is located in Ulriksdal Palace park, and was owned until last autumn by the royal couple's friends Hans Eric and Eva Benita Brodin.
But now they have sold it, after 43 years in the house, and the buyer of this 400 square meter private home is the National Property Board Sweden.
Peter Wallin says that there are no decisions about who will use the house.
But the fact that the state acquires a private villa for SEK 59 million is not commonplace and this house purchase therefore became a matter for the government, which gave its approval.
The National Property Board Sweden is now the new owner of this 12-room villa of 394 square meters with a view of Ulriksdal Palace. The property also includes a guest house, a stable, space for a tennis court and 1.2 hectares of park-like garden.

"To prevent the infection from spreading in production, Forsberg will be in quarantine until Wednesday's quarterfinals for men and women's bronze match but visible on the link from the hotel room", Discovery writes in a statement.
Peter Forsberg said to Expressen that he feels pretty much one hundred percent healthy but he unfortunately have to stay inside for a few days. He hopes those he has met in recent days stay healthy.

The National Property Board Sweden buying Andrea's parents Hans Eric and Eva Benita Brodin's house Villa Loviseberg interests the media.
In October, a few days before the purchase, the National Property Board turned to the court via the Office of the Governor, to get the King's approval for the plans.
Peter Wallin points out to the Head of the Office of the Governor, Staffan Larsson, that "the object in question is today owned by a close friend of HMK so he may already be partially informed".
Governor Staffan Larsson responds in the email, that they have no objection to the future plan for the property.

Olympics in Lillehammer 1994, Peter Forsberg
20-year-old Peter Forsberg faked away the goalkeeper in the decisive penalty shootout for an Olympic gold and he did it with a fine we did not think was possible. No one thought it was true; neither the commentators nor the teammates, nor the whole of Sweden who sat in front of the TV sets. When Tommy Salo saves the penalty immediately after, the gold is a fact. Tre Kronor's Olympic gold in Lillehammer was the first in ice hockey ever.

Victoria and Daniel's friend Jacob de Geer has been appointed a new board member in the heart of the Wallenberg sphere, Wallenberg Investments AB.
Wallenberg Investments AB is the company that manages and develops the Wallenberg Foundations' assets and makes the strategic and long-term decisions about them.
The board includes some of Sweden's heaviest business people alongside the two cousins ​​Marcus and Jacob Wallenberg.
Jacob de Geer is best known for the payment technology company iZettle, which he founded and led, which was sold to PayPal 2018. Jacob de Geer stopped working at iZettle last autumn and has since devoted himself to his own investments in the "tech sector", as well as running the family farm north of Stockholm.
Do you know the Wallenberg cousins ​​before?
“No, you could say that we are familiar and that our paths have been crossed on a professional level over the past ten years because I have worked in fine tech and they own SEB, for example. In addition, we have met in 'Prince Daniel's Fellowship', an entrepreneurial network where Marcus Wallenberg was chairman for a period. But I have never been to Täcka Udden (Wallenberg's family place at Djurgården, Di's note), it will be exciting to see what it looks like.”

Is this the same Wallenberg family as Raoul Wallenberg, the Second World War diplomat who helped people in Hungary to escape the Nazis?
Yes, Raoul Wallenberg was the second cousin of Marcus and Jacob Wallenberg's fathers. The Wallenberg family is immensely powerful and influential in Sweden and are said to control a third of the country's GDP through their financial dealings and their business interests.
Another influential relative of Raoul is his nephew-in-law Kofi Annan who was the Secretary-General of the UN between 1997-206

Jan Dinkelspiel, friend of Victoria, Daniel and Madeleine, has bought a house from Falsterbo.
Jan Dinkelspiel, 44, is a financier and a well-known face from TV after his success in Robinson (version of the international Survivor format) in 2003. He has just bought one of Falsterbo's dream houses with a starting price of SEK 45 million.
The Dinkelspiel family has for generations spent their summers on the beaches of Falsterbo, and Jan Dinkelspiel with his wife Ellen and their sons of 4, 7 and 10 years continue the tradition.
The two-storey villa is 249 square meters with four bedrooms with sea views. A basement house from the 1930s with Italian elements, surrounded by a plastered wall and lots of greenery, which makes the plot separated from view. It is taxed as a year-round accommodation, but it is still uncertain whether the Dinkelspiel family intends to live in the house all year round or whether it will be a holiday accommodation.

After her career change, Andrea Brodin makes a life change.
Together with her husband Cedric Notz, she is now selling the luxury house on Lidingö for SEK 26.5 million.
Last year, Andrea switched to brokerage. She is seen as a guest "Nyhetsmorgon" where she talks about interior design and together with her family she now leaves Lidingö for Stockholm's inner city.
The 250-square-meter villa has a starting price of SEK 26.5 million and has, among other things, an incredible view of Kyrkviken and a brick fireplace.
"We are not going to buy a new house, but it will be back in town when all three children will go to school there this autumn. I'm trying to have a slightly simpler everyday life now that I also work as a broker", Andrea tells Expressen in a text message.
Andrea has invested wholeheartedly in her new career, she works at the reputable real estate agency "Eklund Stockholm New York". And she runs one of Sweden's largest interior design blogs on Elle and works with social media.

They moved to the house in 2017. It's a big house, nine rooms and a kitchen. And beautifully renovated and decorated. It is not on sale at "Eklund Stockholm New York". Isabella starts her preschool class in the autumn (she turns six in November), so now it is a good time for a move.

Victoria and Daniel's friend, Izettle founder and "Draknästet" profile Jacob de Geer gets married this weekend in Marstrand with his love Faye Flensburg. Victoria and Daniel are invited to the wedding.
Mångmiljardären Jacob De Geer och Faye Flensburg gifter sig

Victoria and Daniel attended Jacob de Geer and Nicole Kreuger's wedding in March 2007. They divorced in 2016.

Victoria and Daniel's friend Jacob de Geer is one of Sveriges Radio's "sommarpratare" (summer speakers). Every day from 25 June until 21 August, a well-known swedish person gives a Summer Talk at Sveriges Radio. The names were published today. Jacob's turn is on 15 July.

Jacob de Geer is one of Sweden's super-entrepreneurs and has devoted his professional life to building digital companies.
To simplify everyday life for small businesses, he founded iZettle in 2010, a payment solution where the mobile phone is used as a card terminal. The company was sold to American PayPal for over SEK 20 billion and now Jacob de Geer is investing in other startups, also at SVT's "Draknästet".
Jacob on his Summer Talk:
- I have made many more mistakes than right in my company building life and we entrepreneurs talk far too little about the mistakes on the road to success. My Summer Talk is therefore a tribute to the mistakes and to all those who have tried, failed or who may not yet have reached the whole way.

Caroline and Peder Dinkelspiel had a joint birthday party at Trångsund's farm on Saturday. Both had their birthdays in January, Peder turned 50 and Caroline 45 and they celebrated those now in the summer. Among others Karl-Johan and Leonie Persson attended the party. It seems that Victoria and Daniel didn't, since Svensk Damtidning doesn't mention them among the guests.

Sofi wrote today to her Instagram: "Small feet leave a big impression. Two weeks ago our dear son came. He chose to surprise his parents with an early entry. Since then, we have experienced Swedish healthcare at its best. Empathetic, competent and consistently absolutely fantastic doctors / nurses / assistant nurses / midwives / medical students. Thank you for being there."

Congratualations to the parents. They are relatively old, so not surprising that their son came early. That seems to be quite common when the mother is in her forties.

As always, there are errors at the video. Ellen Myrgård Lindén claims that Karl-Johan Persson is the ceo of H&M. He was, but retired from that job in 2020 and is now the Chairman of the Board of H&M. And Lindén says Caroline Nilsson, former Kreuger. Obviously she doesn't know that Caroline Kreuger Nilsson and her husband Jesper Nilsson have changed their names to Caroline Kreuger and Jesper Kreuger. They have taken Caroline's maiden name to their last name.

About Jacob de Geer's "Sommarprat" (Summer Talk) at Radio Sweden on 15th July. Every day the person who gives the summer talk can also choose the music to his/her program.
Becoming a banker like his father and his ancestor Louis de Geer, who is also often called "the father of Swedish industry", was the original plan for Jacob de Geer, who lives on the family estate Stora Wäsby castle outside Upplands Väsby.
But it really didn't turn out that way. In his summer talk, the super entrepreneur talks about the road to success - which has been anything but easy.
- I belong to those who have consistently failed during my company building journeys. So many ideas and companies that have gone awry, and so many decisions I've made along the way that have turned out to be completely wrong. But still, when I look back on my last 25 years, I realize that it was precisely the mistakes that on crooked roads led me in the right direction in my business, says Jacob de Geer.
Jacob founded the successful company iZettle in 2010. In 2018, the company was bought by the American giant PayPal for almost SEK 20 billion.
The music Jacob had at his summer talk
Din tid kommer – Otto Knows, Håkan Hellström
Empire State of Mind – Alicia Keys
You Can go your Own Way – Fleetwood Mac (2004 Remaster)
Vintersaga – Amanda Bergman
Highway to hell – AC/DC
Do it again – Röyksopp, Robyn
Enemy – Imagine Dragons, JID & League of Legends
Under pressure – Queen, David Bowie
Vinden har vänt – Petter, Thomas Rusiak
Don’t look back in anger – Oasis
Beautiful mistakes – Maroon 5, Megan Thee Stallion
