Yes, I have seen pictures of him on this forum. I think he is very beautiful. I wish that I could see him someday, forget that, someday he will be my husband. I'm sorry I shouldn't say that on this forum. But that is my dream. We can all dream.

You´re right, Josefine.
"Prins Carl Philip påbörjar en tvåårig utbildning i grafisk design på Forsbergs skola."
"Prince Carl Philip starts a 2 year long education in graphical design at (the)Forsbergs school"

I haven´t read that before...but couldn´t it be, that Expressen made a mistake...wrote "start" instead of "finish" or whatever.
Because IMO it´s strange that he does the very same, what he did in the past 1,5 years (a 2 year long education as graphical designer at Forsbergs school). Wouldn´t it be more logical, that he would finish it in winter?
Further the prince said in an interview in spring, that he would start an other military training.
Very mysterious.

Så ska Madde styla brorsan


MODEAKUTEN Prinsessan Madeleine hjälper prins Carl Philip att fixa en ny och tuffare look. Därför hjälper Madde och pojkvännen Jonas Bergström nu prinsen att shoppa.

Nu är det slut med den strikta looken med skjorta ...

... i stället ska han köra samma avslappnade stil som Jonas Bergström. Det är tighta, vringade herrtoppar och smala designjeans av märket Paul & Joe som gäller. Skorna ska vara sportiga och gärna designade av Gucci och Prada.

Prins Carl-Philip klär sig för gubbigt.
Hans flickvän Emma klagar - och nu får prinsen hjälp av världens kungligaste stylingakut: sin syster Madeleine.
Den senaste tiden har prinsessan Madeleine och Carl-Philips flickvän Emma vallat prinsen i Stockholms hetaste klädbutiker.
- Det är slut på trista pikétröjor och rutiga Eton-skjortor. Emma tycker det känns för gubbigt på Carl Philip, berättar en av vännerna.

Tuffare image
Prinsen vill ha en tuffare image, och Madeleine har hittat mycket inspiration hos sin pojkvän Jonas Bergström när hon har tänkt ut Carl Philips nya look.
Carl Philips garderob har därför utökats med tighta herrtoppar, halsdukar och skjortor i olika mönster.
Jonas Bergström brukar också följa med under shoppingturerna för att ge tips till prinsen.
- Jonas är oerhört medveten om vad han har för kläder, ja nästan lite fåfäng. Han bär alltid det senaste och ser direkt om nåt inte passar på Carl Philip, berättar vännen.
Prinsessan Madeleine och prinsens flickvän Emma Pernald är också de mycket modemedvetna och läser de utländska modemagasinen.

Victoria ointresserad
För en tid sedan lämnade gänget NK med en mängd shoppingkassar i händerna. De besökte Paul & Friends, Boss och Tiger, Gucci och Filippa K.
I trendbutiken Artilleri2 på Östermalm handlade prinsen nya jeans - av samma modell som Jonas Bergström bär: Paul & Joe.
Kronprinsessan Victoria är inte med i prinsens nya stylingakut.
- Till skillnad från sina syskon är hon inte alls lika intresserad av vad hon har på sig för kläder, säger en av kompisarna.


Daniel Nyhlén

”Stickade tröjor med älgar kunde vara kul på prinsen”

Lars-Fredrik Svedberg, stylist, modeansvarig i tv-programmet "Fab 5 Sverige":
- Han är snygg, men jag har inte funderat så mycket på ny klädstil till honom. Junya Watanabes färgkollektion är fin för nästa vår. Han har roliga stickade tröjor med älgar och sådant, det är lite bergsklättrar-inspirerat. Det skulle kunna vara kul på prinsen.

Margaretha Julle, designer, kostymtecknare:

- Jag tycker han är ganska cool som han är. Han är snygg i jeans och sådant. Åtminstone det jag sett av honom i tidningar tycker jag ser bra ut.

Martin Johansson, Fame Factory-stylist:

- Jag tycker att han ska köra lite mer avslappnad stil. Även om han är prins. Carl Philip är så snygg, men ser så präktig ut. Hade jag varit han skulle jag kört lite mer hiphop-stil, lite mer cool.

Thank you for the article, Yennie.
OH NOOOOO, please not Madeleine and Jonas as fashion-advisors! This -> http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/04...INE-69_368.jpg is still fresh in my mind.

And Carl Philip also doesn´t need to look like a hip hop-guy. The way he looks now is more than ok!

[GrandDuchess]

I fully agree Lena!

PLEASE, not another hip hop inspired guy! This is not what the world needs!!! I like Prince Carl Philip's style (most of the time) - and he is after all a Prince - so he doesn't need to become the average pluffy puff guy.... The end is near...

Hmm, the end...I´ve there already a picture: Carl Philip let grow his hair and fix it to a ponytail, above he wears a trucker cap, his skin is deeply tanned, then he wears such a tight shirt with a pink crown (the gay-community will be happy ), then high water jeans like Madeleine and to please the ones, who want him as hip hopper he wears a XXL-hip hop-jacket

[timtonruben359]

I know, maybe if this whole being a prince thing falls through, he plans on becoming a rapper LOL!!!!

haha...please not a second extroverted attention-seeking member in the Royal family! About what should he rap? The depraved world of nobility...or about his hard childhood and being an unnoted middle-child?

[mktv2000]

I just had this REALLY vivid dream last night that Carl Phillip and Emma got engaged. It was really long...and one of those dreams where you wake up, and go back to sleep and pick it up again. Very strange. Just thought I would share!

Maybe you´ve visionary abilities, who knows
IMO an engagement now would be very exciting. And Emma would be an wonderful addition to the Royal family. She would be something between superficial (-seeming!) Madeleine and (very) down-to-earth Victoria (I mainly mean their styles)

[mktv2000]

It would seem to me like after FIVE years Emma deserves a ring!

I figured I better go on record so if it DOES happen, then I can get some credit! HA!

I think Carl Philip and Emma will eventually get married, but I don't think either is in a rush. Yes they have been together for awhile, however, I personally think it's a big decision on Emma's part. I mean marrying into a Royal Family has it's perks, but it comes at a huge price. You more or less give up any free choice you had as a "commoner." You're life is always lead in the public spotlight and I have a feeling that with the Joachim and Alexandra divorce starting to creating a huge demand for royal gossip, Emma would become a hot source of cheap tabloid gossip.

Not that I don't want to put a damper on the marriage idea, but maybe Carl Philip has already asked and she needs to think things over. Or maybe niether wants to get married yet. Plus with the higher than normal divorce rates in royal circles, maybe it would be best for them to wait till they are a little older and more mature and ready for a very public marriage. Granted, the Swedish royals seem like a more stable family than most of the other European royals, I still think it would be a shock for anyone marrying into the family how different life is in royal courts.

[mktv2000]

I would seem to me like she could have figured out the "my boyfriend is a Prince" thing in year two...or year three. If it was something she didn't want I don't think she would be with him five years later. But who knows...

How involved would Emma be as the wife of Carl Phillip?

Will she be styled Princess Emma?

It doesn't seem to me that the King's sisters are very involved in royal duties, with the bulk of duties carried out by the King and Queen and Victoria. Now, likely Carl Phillip and Madeline are not doing much because they are both in school, but will they take on more duties in the future?

My understanding was that in the future most royal duties would be carried out by the King and Queen and Victoria and her husband (Daniel W. or not ). Would Emma be expected to carry out royal duties? On her own or only to accompany Carl Phillip? Would they be expected to take on as much as say Edward and Sophie of Great Britain do or to only attend big, major events such as the opening of parliament?

I don't think anyone knows for sure how this would be, but we can speculate. The wife of Prince Carl Philip will be most probably be styled Princess - not much more than that is known.

The case with The King's sisters has to do with the old ways of the Royal Court - they were born into a time when it was still very unmodern, old fashioned and stiff. They were expected to marry Princes, and were all quite controlled before marriage.

I myself expect Prince Carl Philip and his future wife to take on an active role in the Royal House, performing official duties on a regular basis. I don't know what the Swedish people thinks really, this hasn't been discussed much, but I suppose others feel like I do.

[mktv2000]

Swedes love to think of their royals as ordinary, down-to-earth sorts. And indeed, pictures this week of Princess Madeleine trying to sort out her brother’s ‘fogeyish’ dress-sense might have made them look like any other family. It was left up to the king himself to show his offspring the way to party royally.
.....
Another royal for whom fast cars are becoming a habit is Prince Carl-Philip, Duke of Värmland. The young prince has been dubbed ‘The Duke of Vroomland’, after his debut as a racing driver in a competition in Karlskoga. The prince, driving a Volvo S40, came eighth in the race, out of a field of twenty-four.

“It went better than I had dared to hope,” was Carl Philip’s assessment of his performance.

Still, if Carl-Philip cuts a dash on the racing circuit, the same can hardly be said for his performance in the fashion stakes. Aftonbladet has declared that the young prince dresses “like an old man.” But the paper was on hand this week to report that the prince was getting lessons in style from his sister, Madeleine.

The force behind the makeover of Carl-Philip is his girlfriend, Emma, but it was Madeleine whom Aftonbladet credited with creating a new look for the prince. Madeleine and Emma were spotted taking him round exclusive Stockholm boutiques town in search of new togs.

The group were reported to have left NK, an up market Stockholm department store, with “loads of bags”, and were also said to have stopped by Gucci and Boss on their rounds.

Crown Princess Victoria, however, was not participating in her brother’s makeover. “She’s not half as interested in clothes as her siblings,” a friend told Aftonbladet.

Nor will she be shopping for a wedding dress any time soon, it seems. A German gossip magazine, Woch der Frau, was forced to print a correction after it claimed that Victoria was about to get married. Her lawyer, the appropriately named Matthias Prinz, has made the magazine print a front-page correction stating that the princess has “no wedding plans for the time being.”

But at least when the happy day arrives, she’ll have her own makeover guru close at hand.

I would think that in the FAR future...it would probably be at the wish/need of then Queen Victoria as to how much (or how little) she wants them to do. I would guess that for a time it would be her, her spouse, and her brother and sister, she would not be able to do everything alone. King Carl Gustaf came to the throne and was quite young...so now he has three (almost) grown children to help him out. At least for a while the possibility is there that Victoria wouldn't have children old enough to help out. So in that case i would think that Carl Philip and Madeline and their spouses would be active.

Hopefully not Madeleine! For her big day she should ask somebody, who is a real pro, in fashion, in style and in Royal etiquette (e.g. crown princess Mary )!

Thank you for the article, megknight.

And talking about Carl Philip´s and Madeleine´s future. I think they will stay closer to the future Queen, because they probably will marry Swedes and will live in Stockholm, further the current Royal siblings are more friends with each other than the king with his sisters (which is explainable through the huge age-differences). And what else should Madeleine do with her future (yeeeaass-> ouch )
