They did so from Lejonbacken, towards Norrbro at the northern facade of the Palace. However did both these couple arrive to the Royal Palace through Logården and spent a couple of minutes for waving.

I could imagine that because the will arrive at Logarden after the carriage Tour that like at the Weddings of the King and Queen and Victoria and Daniel the guests will come out to Logarden to greet them there.

Duo Icona Pop is performing at the party after the wedding, according to Aftonbladet. Sofia has been their fan for a long time. Their music company Ten didn't want to comment the news.

Well, Expressen and Lindwall are famous of their mistakes. Lindwall babbled after the church service on Sunday, that this is historical, for the first time a common woman becomes a princess, he forgot totally princess Lilian.

On foreign events with guestslist the couple will be listed as:

HRH Prince Carl Philip of Sweden
HRH Princess Sofia of Sweden

(The secondary titles are usually not mentioned outside Sweden).

In the guest list for Prince William's wedding, I believe Victoria and Daniel were listed as:

HRH The Crown Princess of Sweden
HRH The Duke of Västergötland

This is how the guest list for William's wedding was compiled:
Selected Guest List for the Wedding Service at Westminster Abbey.

I'm not sure whether the use of titles was entirely correct. For example, I have never seen Willem-Alexander and Máxima listed as they were here - The Crown Prince and Princess of The Netherlands.

It is curious though that they listed Daniel as the Duke of Västergötland.

[Pranter]

Is that not Daniel's title?

Yes, it is, but he's also a prince in his own right (Prince Daniel of Sweden) and, as Duc et Pair said, secondary titles like royal dukedoms are normally not used outside Sweden.

I feel sorry for the two younger siblings in this family. It appears no matter what they do, they are criticized.

Princess Hisako Takamado represents Japan at the wedding, like at Madeleine's wedding.
Sankei News translation

[Al_bina]

On 22nd May, the Government of Japan approved that HIH Princess Hisako of Takamado visit Kingdom of Sweden from 11th June to 15th June to attend the wedding of HRH Prince Carl Philip. HIH Princess Hisako attended the wedding of HRH Princess Madeleine, the elder sister of HRH Prince Carl Philip in 2013.

There will be 35 specialized Volvo XC90 cars (Wedding edition) transporting the guests at the wedding. The court has had three XC90 loaned now before the wedding. The king has tried one and Chris and Madeleine left with one from the banns of the marriage last Sunday.

At Victoria's wedding there were 85 specialized Volvos and 60 at Madeleine's. At both weddings were used two models of Volvos, so it is possible that at this wedding is used also other Volvos as XC90.

Where do these Volvos coming from? Are they loaned from other state services? It goes a bit too far to purchase 35 cars for a wedding...

This thread should focus on wedding information, including confirmed guests. Posts speculating about un-confirmed wedding guests have been move here: http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...ml#post1782346

Google translate is not always reliable, but as i understand it, the cars are lianed from Volvo and after the wedding Volvo will sell them on..

The Royal Wedding Interviews on 1, and 8 June, 2015.

Are they 2 different interviews?

Its a shame I won't understand a word of what is said? English subtitles would be great?

[LadyFinn]

Carl Philip and Sofia have given an interview to Kungliga magasinet (Royal Magazine). The magazine has a photoshopped cover and the interview starts at page 23.

Thank you.

It will be nice if someone speaking Swedish will tell in short words what they said in this interview.

[Muhler]

Billed Bladet writes today that the court has confirmed that QMII and Mary and Frederik will attend the wedding.

They quote Lene Balleby from the PR-office.

(Correction: Prince Henrik does NOT attend. I need new glasses. Thanks, Roskilde).

They say that they founded a foundation in connection to the wedding because they are very engaged on the issues regarding children and youth. Sofia says that she will be very active at Project Playground after the wedding. Now when she is not the general secretary anymore, she focuses on more long term issues. They are thankful and happy about all the congratulations regarding the wedding. They are nervous but are waiting for the wedding. They are good to focus on to eachother and create safety together. They are in the beginning of their official life. It feels exciting and they are very proud to be able to represent Sweden as a couple. Sofia says that Carl Philip is very humble and loving. Carl Philip says that Sofia has a very big heart, she has her feet on the ground and he feels himself calm and safe with her. They are touched about the great love that has been shown to them and that's why they want to share their wedding with everyone.
