Svensk Damtidning has an article about Victoria's network, about the women who have helped her during the years.
Ulla Gitta Kronberg, 84. Queen Silvia hired her as the private governess to her children and she was extra support for them for many years.
Ulla-Britta, Victoria's first teacher at school. At the classroom everyone called her Victoria, not the crown princess. Ulla-Britta told to Svensk Damtidning some years ago that Victoria was a little shy but above all a caring pupil. If someone fell or was sorry, Victoria was quickly there to comfort.
Louise Dinkelspiel, the mother-in-law of Victoria's friend, was her mentor for many years, and her teacher in English at Enskilda Gymnasiet. Louise has described Victoria as a committed and very motivated student. Victoria sat in the front and made notes all the time.
Annika Rahm. When Victoria moved to USA to get professional help with her anorexia, there was experienced dietitian Annika Rahm. Victoria moved to her red villa in Stamford and swedish Annika, who now has over 30 years experience about treating eating disorders, was an important part for her to became healthy again.
Alice Trolle-Wachtmeister was the first lady of the court for many years and a big support for Victoria. A wise, straight and very determined countess.
Princess Christina, the wise aunt, who knows how to balance life between the royal and the common and has always been there for Victoria with her wise thoughts and good advice.
Elisabeth Tarras-Wahlberg, the former Director of the press department and Head of Victoria's Household. They travelled all over the world together and were a close-knit team. And now when she doesn't work for the court anymore, she is there for Victoria as a friend.
Ewa Westling, Daniel's mother, opened her arms and her home to Victoria. There she gives Victoria her home made cabbage pudding and a dosage of refreshing, common family life. Lovely and quite different for a crown princess who has grown up at 192 rooms and a kitchen.
Tina Törnqvist, Victoria's stylist, has for over eight years helped Victoria with her outfits and style.
Mother queen Silvia, the best role model. She has taught Victoria and told how to keep interest with long speeches "The most boring thing is not to listen". Victoria will be a good queen, said queen Silvia to Brazilian O Globo. "She has a great compassion and a big heart and she is intelligent. She is a good person and a good mother".
Sister Madeleine. Althought they are very different like a night and day, Madeleine is always there for Victoria and they understand eachother well. Both are also mothers of small children now and have the same problems and enjoyments.
