Princess Estelle Got a Pony

"Victoria, Daniel and Estelle can now move to their house in Solliden. The Planning Board of Borgholm inspected the house on June 27th. The house, which is beautifully situated in a scenic area, secluded by trees and surrounded by pastures and meadows, is a one-storey house of about 300 square meters in size. A planning permission has been granted to the carport and next to the house there should be a 42 square meters large pool. The house is built entirely from natural materials and is quite understated in style, explains Director of Administration of Solliden, Leo Eriksson.

Lisbeth Lennartsson, the Mayor of Borgholm, tells that the Crown Princess and prince Daniel are very excited about the new house, they are extremely pleased with the work done by the artisans of Öland and invited last week in all of them at a housewarming party to show their appreciation. Queen Silvia told her that the house is very well liked, is is bright and clean and they are very happy with the build.
There is still lot of work to do in terms of finalizing the roads, storage building and gardening - and decorating the house of course. Leo Eriksson tells that they will not take the help of any interior designer, Crown Princess Victoria and Daniel are really good at that stuff themselves, and vastly interested in interior design.

Borgholm gave the green light for a deviation from the shore protection, which means that the house is only a few hundred meters from the beach. Which is perfect for little Estelle, thinks the Mistress of the Robes, Alice Trolle Wachtmeister. She thinks that Estelle will have a wonderful time on the island of Öland, children are children and love to sit on the beach and make sand cakes. Solliden is very child friendly with its pedestrian areas and she remembers how the royal children played in the park and swum and picked berries. Now it’s Princess Estelle’s turn to toddle around on the grass and splashing in the waterside.

Kay Wiestål, friend of the royal family and the arranger of Victoriadagen, says that islanders are extremely anxious to let the royals to be in peace during their annual summer vacation.
- What’s great with the Crown Princess Victoria and Daniel, and the whole royal family is that they have always been protected on Öland, they can move anywhere. About a week ago, they went and bought bikes and helmets. And Estelle has got a pony.
The Marshal of the Court visited the stables and familiarized himself with the pony.
- She was liked, so I’ll deliver the horse this weekend. I don’t know if Estelle is there then, but one can hope, says Birger Ramnebrink.

One that also keep his fingers crossed on seeing Estelle is Kay Wiestål, preparing the Victoriadagen concert. So far it is to his great joy confirmed that the entire royal family will attend the festivities on July 14, including Chris O’Neill.

- We would hope for the little charmer too. We like little princess Estelle so much, it would be nice if she will attend. She seems like a very fun girl, says Wiestål.
The court can’t give any information regarding Estelle’s possible attendance during Victoriadagen.
- That is something her parents decide and it is not planned in advance, but she will be with them with if that feels good, said Bertil Ternert."

Best of 2012 - Others: Photoshoots - Individual

Best Photoshoot

Princess Madeleine of Sweden

Madeleine looks a bit awkward, but still looks fabulous! The clothing is amazing! The earrings are a favourite of mine. The hair fits Madeleine, even though I don't like her hair colour...

Best Shot

Princess Maxima of the Netherlands and Princess Estelle of Sweden

It was a tie, I orgionally just had Maxima, but then I remembered cute little Estelle's photo. Look at her! In the leaves, with her hood on and the little puff ball on the end. Aw! Then, Maxima looks fantastic! The photo is celebrating 10 years as a Princess of the Netherlands. Purple suits her, (as I've said) and I'm liking the bling.

Best Clothing

Princess Josephine and Prince Vincent of Denmark

 Can these two get any more cute? It's the twin siblings of Denmark on their first birthday in January (the 8th to be exact). Josephone's pink dress looks cute, with her pink bow in her hair. And, Vincent, aren't you looking handsome? A blue plaid shirt, looking snazy!

Worst Shot

Princess Madeleine of Sweden



Yes, a girl who has the best photoshoot can also have the worst shot. The reason? She's far away, you can hardly see her. The outfit looks terrible, and her hair when it was blond and not brown.

Worst Clothing

Crown Princess Mary of Denmark

I like Mary, and I normally like her clothes. These though, the blue shirt I don't mind, the pants look terrible. The shirt with the pants look very bad together. Not to mention the beige shawl, and the same pants (on the left picture) together - No, just no.

Royal Fashion Awards: Princess Estelle’s Christening

In Sweden today, Princess Estelle was christened.

Best Dressed in Pink

Crown Princess Victoria

 

Let’s start in my favourite colour, Pink! I love that Prince Carl Philip’s girlfriend Sofia Hellqvist, this is one of her first official outings as a Royal girlfriend. I say she looks good. Princess Märtha Louise of  Norway looked better than she does, a satin jacket, a ruffled dress and opened toe shoes, she looked OK. Queen Silvia looks good, a very odd hat, a lace shirt and a satin dress. Crown Princess Victoria won the prize, a detailed top and a very nice dress, well done!

Best Dressed in White/Brown

Anna Westring

one of the godmothers, Crown Princess Mary, partly disappointed me, a yellow printed dress,a white coat and a repeat hat. Estelle’s aunt, looked very nice in a satin coat, a detailed dress, gray accessories, and a purple hat. Prince Guillaume’s fiancée played the part as a future hereditary princess, wearing a tweed jacket, a (very) short dress, gray accessories, and a hat from her soon to be mother-in-law. Princess Mathilde wore her usual outfit. the one that got my vote was Daniel’s mother, Anna. I don’t hate anything from her outfit.

Best in Look at Me!

Princess Maxima of the Netherlands

We have a queen and a future queen in a battle. Maxima, wore her usual bright clothing. And Margrethe wore a printed jacket and dress.I dislike print, Maxima won.

Best Hat

Crown Princess Victoria

Best in hats – boy, do I love hats! Anna Westring wore a very small fascinator – I like it. Sofia Hellqvist wore a beige version of it – Good as well. Princess Maxima wore a red turban – it’s ok. Princess Madeleine wore a purple feather and veil. Princess Märtha Louise wore a big pink hat – Nice. Princess Mathilde, wore like nothing – BAD! Queen Margrethe wore a big blue hat – Good. Countess Stephanie de Lannoy wore a hat from her future mother-in-law – good. Crown Princess Mary wore a repeat sparkly hat – Great. Queen Silvia  wore a big pearl, feathery mess – BAD! Crown Princess Victoria wore a flower and a fasinator – Double Win!

Cutest of the Day

Princess Estelle of Sweden

Estelle, was a very cute, quiet girl at the christening. Look how cute she is! She looks like her mom and dad. Also – she has her first sash!
