Princess Sofia of Sweden welcomes third child with husband Prince Carl Philip Princess Sofia has given birth to her and Prince Carl Philip's third child, the Swedish royal court has confirmed. The official statement from the palace read: "The Office of the Marshal is pleased to announce that HRH Princess Sofia on Friday, March 26, 2021 at 11.19 gave birth to a healthy and prosperous son at Danderyd Hospital. Both mother and child are well." www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/20210326106999/princess-sofia-of-sweden-gives-birth-third-child/Uhhh I hoped it would be a girl, but Admin was right (as usual) in the New Year predictions that males are prevalent. Gongrats on them, Sofia did a great job, really. I remember what people were talking about her at the time of her wedding and now she changed everything. That what merry wives of Windsor definitely should learn how to.

Healthy and prosperous son? Something may have changed in the translation.

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary pull children out of elite school over bullying row
Royals need to be schooled among their own kind, not in even the most elite schools. They do not belong there and really should stay in the palaces and get schooling there.

Princess Madeleine will move back to Sweden after five years of Florida living
Long overdue; I have no idea why she came here and I think she should have remained in Sweden. She never even wanted to get involved in a profession and she never really wanted to make any significant contributions. I hope she stays in Sweden and doesn't come back for a great many years.

True, but I wouldn't want to live in Florida either at this time. Still, go back home and make your contributions there.

I wonder if the real reason she came to America is because Maddy snubbed Sofia from her wedding party and then go figure, Sofia ended up getting into the family anyway. That would explain her preference to leave. As for Florida, I know DeSantis isn't popular, but isn't that kind of harsh? BOT, Madeleine shouldn't have come to America, gone on a talk show bragging about being an inept housewife, and then partying in NY/Florida while 'working' for her mother's charities instead of doing her best to integrate into the States. And then there is the fact that she had no real interest in a real profession. It's not like she came to the States with marketable skills and genuinely dedicated herself to a profession and did charitable stuff for Sweden on the side. Then there is the fact that she likely just drifted and partied. I wonder if a politician quietly told her that her and the presence of her family was no longer welcome. Realistically it would explain why she left. I do not think it was just social or community ostracism. She could have gone to another state, but realistically leaving the States is a bit extreme, but I am glad she left.
I don't wish her any harm, I don't hate her or anything, but I will be glad she is gone and her husband too. Royals need to stay in their own nations, not go to another nation just because they have to start making an effort like everyone else. Spares need to stay in their own nations and make a place for themselves there. I have no idea why Madeleine thought she wouldn't have to contribute, but that is European royals for you.

No, not really - Florida doesn't strike me as a good place to be in right now. She could have gone to another state, sure, but guessing she never found her niche in the U.S.

I think Madeleine just wanted to party and attempt to meld into the American upper class; the American upper class and European upper class is different. In Europe it is about bloodlines and fellow royals welcome each other with open arms, no bones at all. In the States, there is a HUGE vetting process and clubs have a multi-year probationary period and in the States, we don't hear about them because they are smart enough to stay in their place, their lives, their way of living. I think a huge reason that a lot of European royals are coming to the States and being disappointed is how the American upper class does not just let them in and protect them the way the European upper class does. Regrettably for Madeleine she didn't get 'in' and therefore is going back to Sweden (where she belongs) and is likely kind of humiliated. Either way, I am glad she's gone.
P.S. What is happening in Florida that Florida is getting tarred/feathered? I get it that President Trump and DeSantis are disliked, the weather is horrifically humid and hot, but I am not at all really 'understanding' about how the entire loathing is Florida is coming from.

Nobody is tarring/feathering Florida, it's just a feeling about it from all the news stories coming from there. It's just not my cuppa tea - there's a lot of good people there, I'm sure.

Either way, I am glad she's gone. She needs to go to her own country, among her own people, and if she wants to come back to live, she should file the paperwork, not just waltz in. She didn't contribute anything to the States, mainly just partied and 'worked' (and I use that word very lightly) at her mother's charities and spent her husband's money (all she has comes from the Swedish taxpayer) and frankly put, it would be great to see her put in the paperwork as she should. As far as I know, she just wanted to party on Fisher Island and it is clear to me that she didn't really care about the American citizens that she was getting in the way of. She needs to learn the hard lesson of adapting to the situation of her own home and make a life there even if she doesn't 'like' being second or third place. She should also get her own place developed and start making a contribution to those who pay her way of life/lifestyle. She owes the Swedes everything. She owes it to her people to be there for them and do her duty, do it with a smile, and forget this ambition to live a perpetual Roman Holiday. She didn't have a real place here in the States and I think she came here thinking that she would be some American society queen without making any kind of effort and she had the GALL to really think that she had a right to enjoy the benefits yet not making any kind of contribution. She has to develop a place for herself in her own nation and spend her time building her own substance and her own respect.

At first she was going to go to the States, but now she is supposedly staying in Norway. I do not think she is someone who should be keeping her status by consorting with a conman.

She has always been a fruit cup. Tired of these royals overplaying the race card in order to appeal to the right crowds.

I love that Royal Dishers are calling him out for this.

Aside: Hindsight is always 20/20, isn't it?
From RD: "The Netherlands suffered both the highest percentage of deaths and the largest number dead of its pre-war Jewish population. Nearby Denmark had a very different story - yes, a much smaller Jewish population, and a very different Nazi commander, but also the local population was more involved in helping their Jewish neighbours (admittedly over a shorter time frame). I don't think it's unfair for WA to wonder if anything different could have been done, to wonder if he would have done otherwise had he been in her position. To wonder if knowledge would have changed anyone's actions - to know denouncing someone would mean almost certain death, for example. That being said, he's ascribing a lot to her, when in truth she was the mouthpiece of the government in exile, and so not mentioning the camps would have been the request of the government. The question should be why did they not want her to warn about the camps."

The Nazis took the Belgian royals hostage; first time I heard about the Nazis doing something decent.
As for the rest of them, I wonder just how much different things would be if the most recent generation of royalty actually faced the realities that like has to marry like and there can't be any kind of compromise when it comes to royal life. One thing I do believe is that if Princess Madeleine had married Prince William and actually accepted that she didn't belong at playing at being a rich socialite, she would have had the privacy that she wanted and the privileges and the status. Madeleine didn't really fit into the States among the American upper class because she is so used to being a figure of public interest that she never really shut up in regards to the way she chose to engage the press. She didn't just quietly do charity work, she used her status to 'promote' charity work and she used her royal status by getting who knows what handed to her. If she had married William, she would have been able to have privacy from press because of the changed times, the press is no longer focusing on royals for their bread and butter because the royals no longer sell like they used to. With the exception of staff, no one really focuses primarily on royals anymore.
I think the main reason she left the States is that someone in the American upper class might have told her that she was no longer really welcome in the States and any delusions of becoming part of that upper class (American) was not going to happen. She never fit in because she never renounced her titles and thing is, that I wonder how long until her marriage dissolves. William would have been a great match if she had decided to grow up and accept that she had a price to pay for privilege. As for Cristina and Martha Louise and so on and so forth, royal women refuse to accept that their downgrade in lifestyle should be part of not marrying a fellow title. I think the worst part is how the men are pressured to provide that level of privilege, but they can't since it is paid for by taxpayers and not through private industry. It would hurt like crazy to have to work so hard only to have the fruits of my work be considered 'good enough.' At least with the fellow royals, there isn't really a major dip in lifestyle even if they marry a spare and I believe Inaki would not have ended up in that mess if not for the pressure to provide for his princess wife. Princesses these days seem to think that a downgrade in lifestyle is some kind of game and it isn't.
