I am not sure where this belongs, but I have some questions about Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel's vacation spots and homes they may or may not have purchased.
I know that Haga Palace was "given" to them as a wedding present. Do they now own it, or has it just been given to them for their use?
Several years ago, they visited Brazil and Pratigi Resort. Is Daniel still one of the investors? Do they own a vila there?
Early this year, I read they purchased a condo in the hill country of Southern Spain while visiting a family member who vacations nearby. Did they purchase a condo there?
Now I read that they have built a vacation home on Oland near Solliden Palace. It was expected to be finished in March 2012. Is this true?
I know that the Royal Family wanted to build "rustic sleeping cabins" for "the children" there. Since they are all 30-somethings and have significant others, I think they are more likely to want a house of their own or access to Solliden. Surely the Crown Princess couple and child will want more than a rustic cabin for their family.
Thank you for finding the correct spot for this and hopefully some answers.
About Haga Palace:
The king or Victoria and Daniel don´t own the Haga Palace.
After standing empty for a long period, Gustaf VI Adolf granted use of the palace to the Swedish government for foreign guests. In 2009, the government transferred the right of disposal back to H.M. The King, in order to prepare a home for The Crown Princess Couple.
Since November 2010, Victoria and Daniel have been living at Haga Palace.

About Brazil and Pratigi:
I haven´t found out any strict information, but there was an article somewhere after the wedding, that Daniel has stepped out of the whole project. I don´t know if it is true, maybe we will get new information some day. About building a villa there, I guess it was just a rumour.
About the villa in Spain:
There were rumours, but there has been any trustful news about that Victoria and Daniel would have bought a villa from Spain.
About their own summer house in Solliden:
The press was writing last September that Victoria and Daniel would be building a new summer house which would be ready in March. But the authorities said that they had heard about the plans but that they hadn´t got any building licence request. Maybe it was postponed. Last week it was written in swedish press, that the municipality and the County Board have approved the construction projects of the royal family, they are building a new house in Solliden. We shall see if that is the new summer house of Victoria and Daniel. It is planned to be at a different place at the Solliden palace area than the rumours were telling last September.
