Do you think that we see them at Victoriadagen? Or are they there still on honeymoon?

I guess we see them not on the Te Deum for the second child of Princess Madeleine and Christopher O'Neill.

Princess Sofia apparently changed her last name to Bernadotte.

Carl Philip and Sofia are on their honeymoon according to the court. They are not listed to attend at the Te Deum. Carl Philip has races in STCC on 25th June and 10-11th July. It has been speculated that he will skip the race on 25th June. Carl Philip's team Volvo Polestar hasn't told yet if Carl Philip will race or not. I don't think that he will skip the other race in July and because that is so close to Victoriadagen, they will probably attend to the concert.

Olaf Daniel Westling Bernadotte, Prince of Sweden, Duke of Vastergotland, did exactly the same.

That has for centuries been the standard for ladies engaging into marriage: taking the husband's surname.

Maybe for royals but for the other ladies they can keep their surname and don't take to the husband's anymore.

Queen Silvia dropped her maiden name without adopting a new name, which is not an option nowadays.

Well it certainly wasn't in the UK, North America, Australia, New Zealand and many, many more countries.

Taking your husband's name is still more common these days or a split, maiden name at work and husband's name at home, PTA, etc.

According to Aftonbladet, Carl Philip and Sofia left to their honeymoon on Sunday at about 10.00, they flew to Los Angeles and from there to Fiji, and with a private plane to a private island. Aftonbladet writes that they chose not to take paparazzi photos of the couple when they landed to Fiji. Aftonbladet has made their presence clear and asked for an interview but the answer has been no. According to Aftonbladet the couple is on their honeymoon three weeks and Fiji is the first stop on their trip.

I don't speak Swedish but according to someone else who does they said are on a private island in Fiji at the cost of, and I quote: 45,000 Swedish Krona per night or $5,523.67 U.S.D. per night.

I'm guessing that is out of private funds! Sounds like a great honeymoon though!

Yes, but the swedish press has been writing that they will be on their honeymoon for three weeks. The STCC race is on Thursday, so we will soon see if Carl Philip will be racing at Mantorp Park.

Photos from the honeymoon. According to the swedish press Carl Philip and Sofia are on a private Laucala island owned by Dietrich Mateschitz, the co-founder of Red Bull.

If I am right, Sofia basically gets nothing in case of a divorce... strange

It is similar to Victoria's and Daniel's prenuptial agreement and the one between Madeleine and Chris.

I think it is perfectly fair. Anything they both brought to the marriage, remains in individual names.
