That would be correct.

You're welcome, kids!
Yes, "fidanzato" usually means fiancé or a long term partner.

IMO the (in)famous ponytail doesn´t add much beautiful to Victorias features and the glasses make Daniels already small eyes even smaller looking. IMO he should think about an alternative for the glasses. But his smile is nice. If you look at the skiing daytime pics...tell me, what crown prince has a nicer smile? Daniel is the daydream of every dentist

I keep on finding his "angles" very cute... definitely cute. Very manly as well.

Book about Victoria and Daniel
German mag "7 Tage" writes that there will be a book published in April about Victoria and Daniel. The book will show their different backgrounds.
Did any of you hear about this? Maybe some of our Swedish posters? Is it true?

Nothing. Some weeks ago, they were spotted eating with friends at the restaurant "Lugnet" Somewhen these days they should or should have celebrate(d) their 5th anniversary as couple. I feel like highlighting "5" in bilious green and bold, but then surely one of you would come and would tell me, that they still have soooo much time and it´s said, one can even have triplets at 87
Daniel is still doing his Spinning course on Monday, Victoria is still in diplomacy course (maybe they both take a break this week, since there are no engagements for the Royal family listed) and Svensk Damtidning is still babbling about the signs for a soon wedding. Picture show:
Victoria-start - Svensk Damtidning
Business as usual. Should we do a poll...to have at least anything to discuss?

Oh, I do really like these pictures. It actually looks like they are in a relationship. Love that little necklace she has with the V&D, want to get me one of those.

It is no fake. We have had two picture series of her wearing it. Court Marshall Elisabeth Tarras Wahlberg had even commented it.
And the diplomacy course does go until the beginning of June. They other participants are going to add an internship during the summer. Since Victoria is no employee of the ministry for foreign affairs, she high likely won´t participate...

Yes, it is. The up-nose is quite revealing, isn´t?  I´ve also saved other teenage pics of Daniel from Aftonbladet
http://img115.imageshack.us/img115/5619/teenage1vj4.jpg (Daniel is the short boy in the middle of the back row)

It would be nice to see a baby pic of him. I´d guess he was a cute baby, maybe even with a lot of hair. Victoria was an cute one as well. So maybe this would mean a cute-cute baby
I don´t think, he would become king one day. Even though I´d consider it as fairer than "prince consort". After all his (possible) mother-in-law became queen as well.
All suggested models, I´d personally rank like this:
1) Queen Victoria and Prince Consort Daniel (with a change to "Princess consort" for future spouses of male heirs)
2) Queen Victoria and King Daniel
3) Queen Victoria and Prince Consort Daniel (with no change for the spouses of male heirs)
4) Queen Victoria and Duke Daniel (Duke of Västergötland)
5) Queen Victoria and Herr/Mister Daniel Westling (so no title at all)
Number 3 is most likliest. Maybe with an additional ducal title.
1 and 2 would mean fundamental changes, I´d see hardly coming. But IMO it is the only logical consequence of equal primogeniture. But Royalty and logics...I´ve given it up
