Princess Madeleine, Chris O’Neill & their children moving to Sweden

[Moonmaiden23]

I don't know...I really hope they stay put in Sweden. They tried London already, yet they moved. Chris seems to be a man of contradictions. Years ago he down played Florida. He complained about the weather, the cost...etc Yet they have lived there for a few years. Who knows!

I agree. Every time the Madeleine family thread pops up here you know it's because once again the O'Neills are moving or considering a move or postponing a move etc.

If I am bored reading about them imagine how their poor children feel.

Expressen has contacted Margareta Thorgren and asked that it's a big weekend for the royal family, Nicolas has turned nine and the Queen's 80th birthday has been celebrated but Chris O'Neill is missing.
Margareta Thorgren:
- The family is about to move to Sweden and that means that it is quite a big move, a maneuver, to move when you have lived abroad for so many years. Therefore, the family moves with household goods in stages. Chris will come a few days later, simply because there are a lot of logistics with a big move.

Därför missade Chris O'Neill prins Nicolas födelsedag – och Silvias firande

Det är en stor helg för kungafamiljen, men Chris O'Neill fattas. Prins Nicolas har fyllt nio och drottningens 80-årsdag har firats – allt medan O'Neill är kvar i Florida. – Det är väldigt mycket logistik med en stor flytt, konstaterar hovets informationschef Margareta Thorgren.

Out of interest, is there any property somewhere owned by the SRF or the King that is an obvious potential residence for Madeleine and her family?

Svensk Damtidning writes that in Stockholm's social circles, there has been a rumor that Madeleine and her family want to live in Villa Loviseberg, a 1860s house in Ulriksdal Palace park. The royal family's close friends Hans Eric and Eva Benita Brodin sold the villa in 2021 and it's now owned by the National Property Board.
That seems to be just a rumor. Instead, it the Royal Stables will be the family's new home, also confirmed by Margareta Thorgren.
- Yes, they will live in the Royal Stables. Nowhere else.
Chris comes to Sweden next week.
Svensk Damtidning's editor-in-chief Johan T Lindwall said at TV4, that Madeleine will be forced to take responsibility, where she will do official assignments and be seen in her various organizations to a much greater extent than in the USA. We will see a very diligent Madeleine, Lindwall is convinced of that. There will be demands on her now. Madeleine thinks it's very difficult with attention and the publicity, but now that she's moved home, she won't have any excuses not to step in and take official assignments. If she doesn't do it in the autumn, it will look very strange.

I love Villa Loviseberg, it is beautiful and in a great location, but I have always thought it isn't Madeleine and Chris's style at all.

Expressen writes that the "for sale" sign is still outside Madeleine and Chris's house in Pinecrest.

In April, Madeleine and Chris had finally found a buyer, after lowering the price a few times from around SEK 80 million to around SEK 73 million. But there are still question marks about how the sale of the 700 m2 house is going.
In Pinecrest, where the family's house is secluded behind high hedges and surrounded by palm trees and greenery, the "for sale" sign remains in the ditch outside the house. On the brokerage sites, the house is listed as "pending" - i.e. a sale that has not yet been completed.
When Expressen visits broker Judy Zeder's office, an assistant tells that Zeder does not want to answer questions about how close or far the deal is to closing.
- She can't say anything at all about it, she doesn't want to get into trouble, says Zeder's assistant.

Kampen för att få loss miljonaffären

PINECREST. Mitt i förberedelserna för Chris O’Neills 50-årsfirande kämpar prinsessparet fortfarande med att bli av med lyxhuset i Florida. Försäljningen har inte gått igenom – och parets mäklare Judy Zeder kan inte säga när allt blir klart. – Hon kan inte säga någonting alls om det, hon vill...

this 'expressen' magazine seems quite nosy...

Margareta Thorgren confirmed to Expressen, that Chris has arrived to Sweden. Expressen thinks that the move has now completed. We will see if that is true or if Chris has to go to Miami again.

The house has now been marked as “sold”. It was sold for $6,500,000 USD. Which is over 3 million more than they purchased it for in 2019.

The house has now been marked as “sold”. It was sold for $6,500,000 USD. Which is over 3 million more than they purchased it for in 2019.

Yes, they got a quite good price of the house. But according to the swedish media they also made a huge renovation to the house when they bought it, among others they changed bulletproof window glasses to its windows.
The Swedish press about Madeleine and Chris having sold their luxury villa:

It also helps that housing prices in South Florida have skyrocket over the last few years. If the move to Sweden doesn't work out and they find themselves back in South Florida, I can guarantee they will have to pay even more for the house they just sold.

On a side note, I am wondering why they didn't just keep the home. Why sell it? It could have been a great vacation home and something that could be passed on to the children.

We don't know if they had a loan to the house. Only the property taxes of the house were over USD 52 000 last year and in addition to that there would still be some maintenance costs although they aren't living there.
