Svensk Damtidning wrote last Friday, that Victoria and Daniel attended at their friend Cristina Stenbeck's 40th birthday party at an island at Stockholm archipelago. 250 guests had arrived from all over the world (Cristina's mother is from USA and her husband Alexander Fitzgibbons is british). Cristina's birthday is on 27th September but she celebrated already now. In addition to Victoria and Daniel, among the guests were H&M family Persson and Caroline Kreuger Nilsson. There was a big party tent and the celebration continued for three days.
No photos of Victoria and Daniel then.

But today they tell that Madeleine, Chris and Nicolas were at the party too, and publish even photos of them. The party was held at Cristina's house at Björkö island and started with some activity. Cristina Stenbeck has four children.

Expressen put in the evening a link to an Instagram photo from the party, Chris was at the photo with some people, they had helmets, caps and headphones with something similar to a megaphone in their hand. The photo was taken away from Internet very quickly after the article came to Expressen's website. At the photo was also Fredrik af Klercker, who said that he had no comments to make when Expressen called him. Fredrik published a photo of him and his sister Stephanie Bergström (the wife of Madeleine's ex Jonas), taken also at the birthday party.
The court didn't want to comment the crown princess couple's and princess couple's attendance at the 40th birthday party. It is private, said Margareta Thorgren.

The mystery of Victoria puzzles the researchers
Madeleine speaks upper class swedish, Victoria more common "Svensson-swedish".
People in the upper social layer speak in a special way. We hear that when the royals open their mouths. But there is a strange language mystery within the family.
Lars Melin, Linguist at Stockholm University, has written the book "Fint språk" (Fine Language) together with his son Martin.
The authors have identified three pronunciations that are clear and are only used in finer neighborhoods in Greater Stockholm:
- Long i and y sounds produced far in front in the mouth, fyiint vyiin.
- Sj-sounds, you use only the front as in Lars, never the back as in "sked".
- Open long vowels, like godaag and såssar.
But what puzzles linguists is that one person in the royal family speaks without using class markers: Crown Princess Victoria, 40.
One reason that the Crown Princess speaks more ordinary than her friends in the upper class may be because she was taught to speak by actress Margaretha Krook at the Royal Dramatic Theatre.
Sister Madde, 35, on the other hand, has got all class markers.
- While Victoria doesn't have any of the three pronunciations, Madeleine has all three. She speaks clean and cut upper class Swedish, says the linguist.
