Expressen's royal reporter Johan T Lindwall had flewn to New York and interviewed Victoria, an article and a video with Victoria's interview.

It is the first time Victoria is far away from home without Estelle. She said that Estelle is in very good hands, she is with her father. For Estelle it is just fine, it's probably worse for herself. This is a new situation, but she is comfortable with that. She is grateful to be there and to see the Swedish interests for everything that the UN does around the world.
First Victoria met Deputy General Secretary of UN Jan Eliasson, who had invited her there. Victoria said that she prioritized this visit, it is very high on her list. She has been here several times before and been equally impressed every time, it is a way for her to update herself on the UN and Swedish interests. It has so far been an intense program with many meetings. It's everything from how they work in peacekeeping to questions about immigration. Victoria met also Minister for Migration and Asylum Policy Tobias Billström, who was also in NY.
Lindwall writes that this visit to the UN indicates that Victoria has started working fully again after her maternity leave. Welcome back, how does it feel? Victoria said that she has worked a little all the time, but this is something new. It has mixed feelings. There is something else that draws at home, says Victoria, referring to Estelle.

Yesterday Victoria attended at several meetings with the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Deputy Secretary General Jan Eliasson. She said that incredibly interesting conversations carried on everything from climate change to water supplies in the world. She was delighted to be here and grateful for it. It is also important that the Swedes show themselves there and encourage all the work UN does across the world. It is incredibly important that Sweden has people in places like Eliasson.
Ban Ki-Moon was also impressed:
- Your crown princess is incredibly charming, said Yoon Yeocheol, the Secretary General's right hand.
Jan Eliasson told about the Crown Princess' visit:
- We in the United Nations appreciate Crown Princess Victoria's engagement in issues of conflict resolution and prevention, but also in water and sanitation issues that are so vital to millions of people worldwide. I know that the Secretary General Ban Ki-moon appreciated crown princess's visit and her active interest in the UN.

When asked if she should take the opportunity to meet with sister Madeleine said Victoria with a laugh:
- I'll be sure to get it done before I go home.
It was just before 19:00, as Victoria on Friday night came home to Madeleine and Chris O'Neill. It was the first time that the she visited Madeleine's and Chris' new home in Manhattan. After a while they all went to exclusive restaurant Chow.

In addition to the Secretary General and Deputy Secretary General, Victoria had many meetings.
At a working lunch water and sanitation issues were discussed with Executive Director Mr. Anthony Lake from UNICEF and other UNICEF experts. Victoria and Daniel are patrons of WaterAid which deals with these issues. Victoria took also part at a High Level Meeting on Migration and Development in the UN General Assembly.

Every year, three Child Rights Heroes are selected by the WCP Child Jury to be candidates for the World’s Children’s Prize for the Rights of the Child. By the time the awards are presented, millions of children have learned about the rights of the child and democracy. The WCP program ends with children all over the world voting for their Child Rights Hero in a Global Vote. The patrons of the World’s Children’s Prize are Nelson Mandela from South Africa, Aung San Suu Kyi from Burma, Xanana Gusmão from East Timor, Queen Silvia of Sweden, Graça Machel and Desmond Tutu.
The child rights hero and the recipient of the 2013 World’s Children’s Prize for the Rights of the Child is the former child slave James Kofi Annan, Ghana. He is honoured for his 10-year struggle to liberate children who are fishing slaves in Ghana. The World’s Children’s Honorary Award went to Sompop Jantraka, Thailand, for his 25-year struggle against child sex trade and for vulnerable children in the Mekong Region and Kimmie Weeks, Liberia, for his 20-year battle for the rights of children affected by war.

Victoria has been seen last week at a jogging round at Haga Park, with two SÄPO-guards cycling behind her. The bodyguards are extremely well trained, but if something would happen, it is not a good idea that they would made off with all the energy with a long jog. So cycling is a better choice.

Victoria flies to the memorial service of Nelson Mandela with prime minister Fredrik Reinfeldt. It will be tough 40 hours for Victoria (about 30 hours at a plane). The king was invited to the memorial, but he could not leave the Nobel ceremony and perhaps not be able to host his own dinner for the Laureates on Wednesday.
-That the crown princess attends was a decision made after the discussion between the king and the crown princess. To honour Mandela means a lot to the crown princess, she remembers well her meeting with him, tells Annika Sönnerberg from the press department.
Victoria and the prime minister fly with the government plane that takes 12 passengers and has 4 crew members. Yesterday it was planned that they leave this morning and Reinfeldt's press secretary Markus Friberg confirmed it on Monday morning:
- The memorial service is the only event they attend.
Victoria has promised to the king to attend at the dinner on Wednesday.
