I Think they will never get married
I agree. I think Victoria will have no issue, being succeded by her brother (unfortunately).
I Think they will never get married
I agree -- just feel something strange about this relationship -- I am probably wrong, but there just doesn't seem to be that "spark" lovers emit, even when they don't want to............I also voted for "No they will never marry" but I would happily be proven wrong!
The equation of two female monarchs from the 16th and 17th century who really did rule with a future Queen of the 21st century in a constitutional monarchy doesn’t make much sense really.
The differences on every level from status over power to the role of women in general are too vital to even make productive comparisons, let alone to equate the ladies.
Of course it will be possible for Victoria to fulfill her role as Queen if she stays single.
I am not so sure though how Prince Albert manages to reign successfully as a single woman...
But I VERY much doubt that this is the reason why discussions about her marrying or not go on and on. It certainly has more to do with absolutely enjoyable speculation about her private life, and also with less enjoyable, still conservative expectations of a woman in general.
I wouldn't have any problem with her staying single and childless, and e.g. Princess Madeleine becoming mother to the next monarch - in fact, it would be a rather interesting concept.
Out of the seven Bernadotte Kings, only three inherited their throne directly from their father.
That's quite an interesting statistic already.
I think that the time is right. They are both in their thirties; he is established in his career. After seven years of dating, they should know whether or not they would make a great partnership. Victoria seems like such a lovely woman. It would be great to see her as a mother and wife.
If these two ever get married, I will eat a live goldfish.
Uh-oh...
