Apparently Chris did hold a very good speech at his and Madeleines wedding dinner.

The official wedding website was just opened with new photos. And new CV for Sofia, which tells that Sofia founded Project Playground, but doesn't mention anything about that she founded it with Frida Vesterberg. The CV doesn't tell when she graduated from upper secondary school.

And it is very happy news!

I understand they broadcast the dinner speeches and the wedding cake. Not the diner itself. Rightly so, it is their wedding, let them have some moments entre nous for their family, friends and themselves.

This mentions at the bottom that the BBC is broadcasting the Wedding?
Have I got this wrong?

The Swedish public broadcaster SVT is broadcasting the wedding. It appears that Google Translator, when translating from Swedish to English, translates SVT as BBC, but that is not accurate.

I'm sure he did. I think he's a great speaker. That makes it even more sad that we didn't get to hear/watch the speeches.

The court just corrected to Sofia's official biography to the official wedding page that she founded Project Playground together with Frida Vesterberg in 2010, at the original version read that Sofia founded Project Playground in 2010.. Maybe they have been reading the comments at the website of Svensk Damtidning, many people were really angry that the court was lying and had left Frida totally without mention.

Carl Philip and Sofia have given an interview to SVT and Ebba Kleberg von Sydow. The program "Sofia and prince Carl Philip" will be shown on SVT1 and SVT Play on Friday 12th at 20.00.

I would be surprised when SVT shows the whole diner. What is the point watching people eat for two hours? Come on.

They don't show when the royals and guests eat. They show when they arrive to the dinner, when the dishes are brought and then the program hosts discuss with their studio guests during when the people eat like they did at Victoria's and Daniel's wedding. And show the people only when they don't eat. Just like at the Nobel banquet, they don't show when people eat. They probably show some short clips from the wedding and discuss about that too.

At the Nobels and Victoria's wedding they also showed the entertainment between the courses, which is always beautiful to watch! I guess it will be similar at this wedding.

That is what I thought too: the speeches, the eventual musical intermezzos, etc. A few posts ago in this thread the suggestion was made that SVT would broadcast the whole diner and I already heavily doubted that.

SVT says at their press release that they broadcast the dinner. But that doesn't mean that they will show the whole dinner. I would be surprised if there will be musical intermezzos during the dinner.

According to Expressen, Sofia Hellqvist has very early wanted to make their wedding celebration to the entire Swedish people's party and show it on TV. Prince Carl Philip has been more hesitant, but for Sofia Hellqvist there has never been any doubt.

Sofia's position is consistent with someone who agreed to be on a TV reality show in the past. I mean, sharing your private life with millions of people.

[xenobia]

Not that Expressen is the absolute source of all truths, but if they're right, I can see several reasons behind it. The main one would be that so many positive things came out of the TV-broadcast from V&D's wedding dinner. It really is a chance to get some good PR. Madeleine and Chris didn't, but Sofia knows that media can be both a friend and a foe. So why don't make them your friend and get some great PR?

[Dman]

Most likely, we won't be seeing the royals and their guest eating dinner folks. We don't have to start turning this around on Sofia. We did see a great deal during Victoria & Daniel's wedding dinner.

I totally agree. Just because SVT states that they will show the whole dinner, it doesn't mean we will see the guests eat. There is no entertaining value, or value in that at all.

What we could expect as said before, the arrival and departures to/from the dinner, the courses being served and the speeches. And this is nothing unique. This is how it is done in Denmark on royal birthdays and jubilees being broadcasted, it was what we saw for Victoria and Daniel's wedding and it is what we see every year for the Nobel banquets. Business as usual.
