Victoria will go to China at the end of September (source Aftonbladet). As I get it this will be again a trip for the Swedish trade.
Could she get in trouble for bringing forbidden literature with her? I am sure it is fine for tourist to bring stuff like that, but considering what she is doing wouldn't it be more respectful if she didn't bring that kind of stuff? Just a thought.GrandDuchess said:This morning, Crown Princess Victoria went to her new job at the Swedish Embassy in Beijing. So that Victoria would be well read, the Court tried to send forbidden literature with her.
I think she has read those books when she was in Sweden. And they are, as far as I know, only forbidden in China so hopefully that´s not a problem...robby86 said:Could she get in trouble for bringing forbidden literature with her?

I couldn't say it better, Lucys. I fully subscribe your words.lucys said:I only became a "royal watcher" a couple of years ago and it quickly became reduced to interest in only a half dozen royals--Victoria is a charmer, but in a very unpretentious manner. I guess the royals I like are the ones who don't scream out "look at me, I'm a royal!"--and Victoria doesn't. She's a classy, responsible young lady who takes her duty seriously and will make her country a wonderful Queen one day.

She also awarded The Order of the Polar Star to translator Li Zhiyi, which he received for translating Swedish authors August Strindberg and Astrid Lindgren into Chinese. Pictures from Fotomarktplatz.

Victoria looks indeed very nice. ETW looks in one picture as, if a white snow grouse or a white mop would sit on her head
