Lena said:Actually she doesn´t tell much special...the reporter asks her, what she wanted most for her birthday and she says "Nice weather" and that this has worked out (she says this actually every year ) And then she says, that she is very happy and that now as this TV camera is around, she wants to take the chance to thank everyone, who came...this (support) warms very much and helps her through maybe little tougher days...
soCal girl said:I'm glad Madeleine's back but her tan , I thought we got over it. It was really bad in St. Tropez last summer but it cooled off during the winter/spring and now it's back! At least she's in Sweden and I really liked her hair . She looked really elegant in white too.

I can't help to myself, but it's simply HILAARIOUS! Does anybody know, what happened there?

I can see this particular issue has the potential to erupt into an argument, so I'll make one comment, and then we can leave it. This is not the thread for such discussions.melike2 said:BurberryBrit said:Maybe you didn't mean it in a negative way, but this is incredibly offensive and ridiculous.

Oh what's the point in taking it so seriously?
If somebody says something not-so-nice about somebody it is immediately offensive on this board. Why can't one express one's opinion without being told off?
Otherwise it is unfair to say "people with dark skin" because Madeleine skin is probably fair....this tan is very unnatural and yes it looks awful and makes her look old.
GrandDuchess said:No birthday interview with Victoria this year - the King has stopped it!
I could not believe my ears when I heard on the radio after getting back home yesterday, that this year there will be no annual birthday interview with Crown Princess Victoria!! This has become a tradition, to have a birthday interview included in the televised programme from her official birthday celebrations at the island of Öland.
I did some online searching and found an article in Göteborgs Posten about it. Apparently the King has stopped the interview this year, he thinks the media pressure has been to great and wants the family to pause...
- The King feels that there has been a lot of inteviews during the spring, and he feels that he needs to pause, she says. (my comment: he needs to pause, but he doesn't do Victoria's interviews, or was he planning to dress up as his daughter for this year's interview? I'd understood if it was the King who wanted a break, he's been doing inteviews non-stop this spring, before his 60th, but Victoria doesn't give interviews that often, so every missed opportunity is very apparent)
A small segment from the work of the Victoria Fund, with the Crown Princess visiting a canooing club, has already been recorded (that's also tradition, that they film her visiting one of the projects that has received funds). But there will be no other interview to replace the traditional one.
