I think she is getting more comfortable with herself and her role. She has always had a natural sparkle, but now she seems so much more confident. I think that is why she looks so great lately.
ps. All that time at the gym doesn't hurt either.

what is he doing?
I think it was her lipstick that fell to the floor... [/b][/quote]
I thought perhaps that it was another boring speaker, and he just couldn't find the strength to appear interested...
HKH kronprinessan Victoria besökte försvarsutskottet onsdagen den 10 april. Besöket inleddes med lunch. Under Henrik Landerholms, försvarsutskottets ordförande, värdskap besökte i går kronprinsessan Victoria riksdagens försvarsutskott. En trevlig lunch följdes av möte och diskussion mellan kronprinsessan och utskottsledamöterna under hela eftermiddagen. Kronprinsessan ställde många initierade och intressanta frågor, som främst handlade om Sveriges internationella verksamhet, totalförsvarsplikten och utskottsledamöternas egna arbete.

I think Victoria should wear more black, red and that beigey-tan color. She pulls it off beautifully.
I agree Maddie should stay out of the sun for a while.
Also, she should use sunscreen. She'll look like a grimaldi if she's not careful. (I mean they're beautiful, but there's obvious sun damage there!
Yep, black, red and beige are great colors on Victoria.
And Fireweaver, you are absolutely right about the sunscreen! Victoria and Madeleine should both use it! They are lovely girls and don't need to end up looking like prunes!
If I were Madeleine's fashion adviser I would steer her towards lowlights (she's way too blonde now) and no more tanning!

Not Josefine, but hoping that she won't mind if I answer your question for her.
1) The picture of Victoria (highly complimentary indeed!) was taken at one of the gala dinners in conjunction with Princess Martha Louise's 30th birthday festivities in Norway. Many other royals were invited, including Prince Nikolaos of Greece, Crown Princes Felipe and Frederik of Spain and Denmark respectively. Ari Behn, then just a "friend" of Martha Louise's also attended.
2) Here, Martha Louise is seen welcoming Victoria. Nikolaos of Greece can also be seen in the picture.
3) www.alloverpress - More from Martha Louise's 30th birthday festivities in Norway. Victoria flanked by Frederik of Denmark and Nikolaos of Greece.
