A very nice lady. Surely very decent. Maybe Princess is the new Sweden.

Hmmm... Im not sure... "docusoap" (Paradise Hotel) and "pin up picture in Slitz" doesnt sounds good to me....

[Dierna23]

Ha! A new girlfriend for Carl Philip was my guess at "what will happen to the Royals in 2010?" Well, if it's true of course...

[principessa]

Sofia looks a little bit like Emma.

I don't think so. A model who has naked photos, she is NEVER going to be a princess. This is not accepted in royal families.

Could the title of this topic PLEASE be changed to include a question mark?

It seems to me that Sofia Hellqvist has a very creative press agent.
She has been a party girl, calendar / swimwear model and partcipant of the 'Hotel Paradiso' reality show, which is indeed reality TV as low as it gets - a bunch of supposedly sexy youngsters in a white trash dating contest.

She's a grade Z celebrity with exactly the kind of awful résumé these kind of 'celebrity' people have these days, and I'd be rather surprised if the rumors about her being Carl Philip's new girlfriend turn out to be true.

[Zonk]

It does remind one of the rumours and articles surrounding Prince William with Britney Spears and/or Paris Hilton.

Is this a legit magazine or a tabloid? And I realize that the line between legit magazine and tabloid is not as clear as it used to be.

[princess gertrude]

Maybe Carl Philip is going through the same phase that Felipe went through when he dated models/actresses, that were not exactly "princess material". She is a nice looking girl and does remind me of Emma a bit. I would like to know if those are contacts or if it's her natural eye color (I'm betting they're contacts).

The Hola aticle says that

since then the Prince has remained unmarried, while his two brothers announced their wedding engagements

can you trust an article that says Victoria and Madeline are men?

Hola is a decent magazine, but I don't know about Svenskdamtidning.

If you call 'Hola' decent, then 'Svensk Dam Tidning' is decent too...
They're approximately on the same level of non-hurtful reporting and gossiping, with SDT's editors actually believing that their readers are able to read - by comparison, there's more text and less emphasis on the pics in the Swedish mag than in the Spanish one.

Unless one of the well-connected Swedish newspaper's royal columnists like the one from 'Expressen' confirms the rumor, I'm inclined to believe that the girl's PR person planted the item and succeeded.

Hola is a decent magazine, but I don't know about Svenskdamtidning.

The original article says, "[...] sus dos hermanas anunciaban sus compromisos oficiales de boda." "Hermanas" means sisters. There is an error in the automatic translation.

How old is Carl-Philip?
And how was his relationship with Emma discovered?

Carl Philip is 30 years old, he was born on May 13, 1979. I do not know much about his relationship with Emma, sorry.

This is only speculation on my part, but I think that Carl Philip may have felt he was missing out on something, having been with the same woman for ten years. I think we can now expect a string of casual short-term relationships and then an unexpected engagement, to Emma or someone else.

[Lumutqueen]

He's older than our Prince William, he had a long term girlfriend and that ended without marriage, perhaps a pattern.
Emma was a wonderful girl, but somehow I don't think they'll get back together.
He may be going through a "flings" phase, but he doesn't seem that kinda guy.

Oh God! He can't date this girl! she's pretty vulgar!

Emma was so much better! they were a cute couple!

[Dierna23]

Well, let's hope it's only a rumour... But if it's true, I think her chances to become a Princess are hardly high after these pictures.
