Jazmin Grimaldi shares a previously unseen photo from her school days
Jazmin Grimaldi, 29, has not lost that radiant smile to this day: As a photo from her school days shows, the daughter of Prince Albert von Monaco, 63, fascinated with her cheerful manner even in high school. But the picture that Grimaldi on Instagram shows, houses a detail that makes fans smile.
“Looking back at the time when I visited #Hogwarts and yes, you guessed it, I was in the #gryffindor house,” Jazmin wrote of the social media post. And indeed it looks as if Albert’s daughter hasn’t dug out one of her old school photos, but is wearing a fan shirt from the popular “Harry Potter” saga. But it is really about the school uniform of today’s 29-year-olds. “Funny fact: the mascot of my middle school was a griffin,” says Jazmin Grimaldi, explaining the unusual logo that is denounced on the chest of her tank top.

This is how it is for King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia after their corona illness
This is probably not how King Carl Gustaf, 75, and Queen Silvia, 78, imagined their start into the new year: On Monday, January 4, 2022, the Swedish court announced that the royal couple had been infected with Covid. Since then, the palace has kept up to date with regular updates on the health of both of them. After the news of the monarchs’ positive corona tests, it was said that tracing was ongoing. The court also stated that the children and grandchildren were not affected. It is important that the people know how the royal couple is doing and “that they are just as affected by this pandemic as everyone else,” said court information chief Margareta Thorgren on Thursday to the station “P1”.
“They are at home on Drottningholm and are isolated as the rules require. If they feel healthy and have hardly any symptoms, as they do now, they can attend digital meetings,” Thorgren said. So far it has not been clarified where Carl Gustaf and his wife were infected with the virus. The court information chief says, however: “They were infected, although they were vaccinated, but at the same time it has to be said that they probably have weak symptoms because of the vaccination.”

Swedish TV station “TV4” declares that King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia have contracted Covid-19 for the second time
On Tuesday, January 4, 2022, the Swedish palace announced the corona infection of the royal couple. The news that both King Carl Gustaf, 75, and his wife Queen Silvia, 78, contracted the virus spread across the media like wildfire. In all the rush, “TV4” made an unpleasant faux pas.
Shortly after the official palace declaration was published, the Swedish broadcaster reported that the royal couple had contracted the corona virus “again”. For the monarch and his wife, however, it is the first positive test result. Crown Princess Victoria, 44, and Prince Daniel, 48, had previously been infected in March 2021. The station’s error was corrected a short time later, as “Svensk Damtidning” reports.

Princess Victoria & Co .: They celebrated Christmas with Daniel’s family
Finally there was a reunion: Sweden’s heir apparent family spent the Christmas days with the family of Prince Daniel, 48, as the court confirmed to the magazine “Svensk Damtidning”. However, it is unclear whether the meeting took place in his hometown of Ockelbo. The number of corona infections there had already skyrocketed before the holidays. Nevertheless, Princess Victoria, 44, and her husband have decided to unwrap the presents with Princess Estelle, 9, and Prince Oscar, 5, as well as grandma and grandpa.
During the pandemic, the royals had to forego many family visits – also to protect Daniel’s parents Ewa, 77, and Olle Westling, 76. But now the family could finally enjoy the most beautiful festival of the year together again.

King Carl Gustaf + Queen Silvia: You have Corona
Worrying news from the Swedish palace: King Carl Gustaf, 75, and his wife, Queen Silvia, 78, are said to have tested positive for the corona virus on January 3, 2022, according to the royal family’s official website.
However, the royal couple was fully vaccinated with three injections and had only mild symptoms. They are doing well under the circumstances. King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia have been isolating themselves in their homes since then, the palace continues, and the tracking of the chain of infection is in full swing.
Prince Joachim: His wife saved his life
Prince Joachim, 52, suffered a stroke in July 2020 and had to undergo emergency surgery. Princess Marie, 45, was solid as a rock during this difficult time. “I’m fine, I’m completely healthy again,” he said in a joint conversation with his wife to the daily newspaper “Berlingske” and addressed loving words to the 45-year-old: “I was very lucky the whole time. I owe that to you. “
Marie was on the spot as soon as the life-threatening symptoms became apparent – and did not leave his side in the time that followed. “I wouldn’t be sitting here if it wasn’t for my wife. You were the first to help me. It wasn’t a turning point in my life, but an exclamation point.” Joachim is clear that it was a terrifying experience, also for those around him. Marie was immediately aware that she had to act quickly. The memories of those terrible moments are still vivid for her today: “It changed my view of life. I have always known that life is fragile, but I never thought that it would catch up with me in this way.”

Princess Victoria looks on TV series about royalty with concern
This idea gives Princess Victoria, 44, unpleasant goose bumps down her back. The television broadcaster TV4 is currently planning the production of a Swedish version of the great Netflix hit “The Crown”. This is the first time Crown Princess Victoria, 44, has spoken out about the prospect of being played by an actress. In an interview with the Swedish daily “Svenska Dagbladet” (SVD), Victoria left little in doubt that she did not find the idea particularly tempting: “For the person being portrayed, it always feels rather strange. How should something like that be right? “It’s difficult to deal with, especially if the people are still alive,” she explains her skepticism towards the TV project.
So far, the plan is supposed to tell the story of the Swedish royal family from the birth of King Carl Gustaf, 75. His growing up, the time as heir to the throne up to his accession to the throne and his reign. Two seasons have been announced so far. The premiere should take place in 2022. However, it is not yet known whether and which actors have already been signed. However, screenwriter Åsa Lantz, 55, dreamed of Joel Kinnaman, 42, playing King Carl Gustaf in 2021. Princess Victoria apparently does not even want to imagine being played by an actress: “I would prefer not to be portrayed by anyone,” she expresses her concerns. “Maybe I just went away for the whole first season,” she explains with a laugh.
