The decision to withdraw from the move raises a question mark

When the Swedish court announced on Tuesday evening, June 27, 2023 that Princess Madeleine, 41, and Chris O’Neill, 49, would not be leaving their tents in Florida and moving back to Sweden in August of this year, as announced, Royal was amazed -Experts not bad.

Princess Madeleine’s move back is causing speculation

Although the royal family’s information chief tried to nip any rumors in the bud in the same breath, stressing that the reason for the decision was “not a migration issue, nor the sale of the house or anything like that” and that it was “just like that [ist]that family time, with all that moving entails, was a little too short”, speculation quickly arose that Chris O’Neill was responsible for the back down.

“It’s hard for me to imagine how Chris will acclimatize in Sweden and Stockholm,” said Johan T. Lindwall, editor-in-chief of the Swedish newspaper “Svensk Damtidning”, and emphasized: “I know that he often gets over the attention complained that his personality aroused when he was out in public.” Lindwall is “convinced that it is Chris who refuses to move back to Sweden,” writes the publication.

Chris O’Neill becomes a German citizen

Now the rumor mill is further fueled by O’Neill’s latest decision, which the Swedish court has now confirmed. The reason: Chris has British and American citizenship, Swedish was never an option for him despite marrying Princess Madeleine. “I wasn’t born into a royal family. I’m Christopher O’Neill, my father was Paul O’Neill. He was a family man who had his own identity, worked hard and made it,” the entrepreneur said in 2018 in an interview with “King Magazine” about his decision.

Instead of Swedish citizenship, however, the 49-year-old has now adopted a third one: German. “He applied for a new passport through the German embassy in Stockholm, and recently the application was approved after proper processing,” Margareta Thorgren, head of information at the court, told the Swedish newspaper Expressen. Chris O’Neill is entitled to German citizenship through his mother Eva Maria Walter, reports “Svensk Damtidning”.

It remains to be seen whether O’Neill’s new citizenship will have an impact on the family of five’s move and whether Princess Madeleine and her husband may decide to live in a completely new way.
