Just before the holidays, Princess Madeleine is confronted with her past and her reputation as “Party Princess” caught up. A former ski star publishes lines in a new video that are likely to give the royal a headache.
Earlier than expected, Princess Madeleine, 41, and Chris O’Neill, 49, traveled to Sweden with their three children Princess Leonore, 9, Prince Nicolas, 8, and Princess Adrienne, 5, for the Christmas holidays; school is actually in session Miami-Dade County until December 22, 2023. But on Monday evening, December 18, the mini-royals living in Florida showed up with their cousins and grandmother Queen Silvia79, at the traditional Christmas tree reception in Stockholm Royal Castle.
“With Princess Madeleine we make prince children…”
Without their parents, Leonore, Nicolas and Adrienne diligently decorated the stately fir trees and posed for cute souvenir photos with their family members. Meanwhile, Madeleine and Chris must have been reading last weekend’s headlines with raised eyebrows. Because on the third Advent, Petter Northug, 37, a former Norwegian cross-country skier, published a Christmas greeting that was quite something. In his clip, the former sports star poses with a royal-looking crown and matching cape and sings about it, what his life could have been like if he had been born a Swede. “And we celebrate with King Carl Gustaf at Stureplan. With Princess Madeleine we make princes’ children in a club in the old town,” is one line from his cheeky hit.
Madeleine’s reputation as a “party princess” weighed on her
Words that should shock Princess Madeleine. As a teenager, the youngest daughter of Queen Silvia and King Carl Gustaf, 77, was regularly seen in Stockholm’s trendy nightclubs, and at some point she was given the title of “party princess.” A reputation that weighed heavily on her. “I think it’s very sad,” Madeleine said of her image in an interview with the Swedish news agency “TT” in 2006, emphasizing that of course she went out every now and then, “but in the last three years I’ve been with her most of the time spent learning [Party-]The stamp is still there, but I feel like I’m a long way from that time.” A close friend of the royal also made it clear to “Svenska Dagbladet” before Madeleine’s wedding to Chris O’Neill in 2013: “Nothing could be more unfair. It hurt her to be described in such a one-sided way.”
King Carl Gustaf between two naked women
The fact that Petter Northug is now singing about that reputation in his new clip can be seen as a clear affront to the Swedish royal family. However, this is not surprising. Over the course of his career has Northug He often made comments about the royal family, and in his previous apartment he also had a Photoshopped picture of the king hanging on the wall. The recording showed King Carl Gustaf between two naked women with the quote “King Carl Gustaf can you hear me”. Northug shouted this sentence as he crossed the finish line at the 2011 World Championships in Holmenkollen. “I was a little cocky in the Swedish media and so was he, so I see similarities between the two of us. I hope he will be happy when he finds out about it and send me a little attention,” Petter Northug said of the picture at the time in his apartment.
