Yes, I think, her outfit wasn't the best choice and she's really too tanned IMO. But nevertheless they are a beautiful couple! I didn't see the ring, because I had problems to watch the interview...

October this year ????

NO!!! the soonest date for the wedding is in fall 2010. But in the interview Jonas said it could also be winter (January or Fabruary) 2011. I think in the next few weeks we will get the date of the wedding.

I think the ring is very simpel, as far as I have seen it, but I really like it. What do you think?

 

[MelinaB.]

...And I need more details about that gorgeous diamond ring:carats,price etc.

her engagement ring is similar to Victoria's one but there are several small diamonds around the big one. it's a beautiful ring!!

 

[MelinaB.]

Both sisters got two of the most stunning engagement rings!It's good that they are both simple:their diamonds manage to attract all the attention this way.

Beautiful ring. Its very simple, but it looks very much like a engagment ring.

 

[lucien]

Jonas will be given the title Duke of Halsingland and Gastrikland.

Surprising,but lovely.

 

[Zonk]

What fantastic news!

How about the Swedish royal family?! Usually they are very quiet...and then bam!

Two engagements! Madeline does look lovely (too tanned but that is always the case) and I agree that the dress doesn't complement her. But her happiness (and that of her fiance Jonas) you can't deny!

Now if we can use the same water that is in Sweden across the pond........

 

[Marchesina]

Contrats to the the couple, they're stunning and both beautiful. He looks like the Prince Charming in fairyales. I'm so happy that this royal family will have two wedding in such a short time!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a little disappointed that he won't be style prince, because P.Jonas sound pretty good!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful ring. Its very simple, but it looks very much like a engagment ring.

I also hope, that someone is able to translate this.

I only got a few sentences.

They said:
- Of course we want to have children together.
- Madeleine fell in love to Jonas when she was 17 years old.
-They got engaged on Capri on the 12 of June.
Is this right?

It is great news. Congratulations to Princess Madeleine and Mr. Bergstrom.
Will Mr. Bergstrom receive any title? Will Princess Madeleine retain her title or become Mrs. Bergstrom?

It is great news. Congratulations to Princess Madeleine and Mr. Bergstrom.
Will Mr. Bergstrom receive any title? Will Princess Madeleine retain her title or become Mrs. Bergstrom?

According to some posters, he will become Duke of Halsingland and Gastrikland. Which, I believe are Madeline's titles.

Question for our Swedish regulars......why is Jonas becoming a Duke and the Kings sisters, are known as Princess Christina, Desiree, etc Mrs. Magnusson, (I am throwing in the names as I know the King's sisters but not sure which one is Mrs. Magnusson, etc so I apologize if this wrong).

Is this a change in Swedish law? Did the sisters not have subsidary titles?

 

[Ccile]

Jonas will be a duke after his wedding and Madeleine will still remain princess of sweden and duchess

Do you think Jonas will now participate in official events with the royal family???

 

[sgl]

The Danish media has a few articles about the newly engaged couple:
Billed-Bladet - Kongen godkendte Jonas på hemmeligt møde
This article says that the King approved Jonas during a secret meeting. It also claims that he is the favorite of the King (not sure if that means of the two fiances, or of the men that Madeleine has perhaps dated).

Congratulations to the happy couple! So they will not get married before Victoria? I wonder which couple will become pregnant first.

 

[Lumutqueen]

^^^^^
I wouldn't have thought she would get married before.

Wow, Congratulations. Thats two royal weddings to look foward to.
Madeline and Jonas look stunning, the engagment ring is beautiful.
I'm so excited.

 

[Nathalie Cox]

Well, congratulations to the happy couple!
I think Maddeleine wanted to be engaged years ago, but she couldn't do it because her sister wasn't engaged. Anyway, congrats to Maddie!

 

[Ccile]

Congratulations to the happy couple! So they will not get married before Victoria? I wonder which couple will become pregnant first.

It would be funny if the two sisters were pregnant at the same time more or less

 

[Kunglig yra]

It is great news. Congratulations to Princess Madeleine and Mr. Bergstrom.
Will Mr. Bergstrom receive any title? Will Princess Madeleine retain her title or become Mrs. Bergstrom?

He will be Duke of Hälsingland och Gästrikland, Madeleine will still be a Princess, and the Duchess of Hälsingland och Gästrikland.

 

[MelinaB.]

Is this true,Nathalie Cox?I wonder what kind of tradition is this,the younger sister waiting for the older to get engaged first...Sweden is supposed to be a liberal country!
