Madeleine's price for life with Chris
The very best both birthday and Christmas present for Queen Silvia was to bring home youngest daughter Princess Madeleine and her family from America.
And at least equally happy Madeleine herself seems to be.
She tells how important she thinks it is to let the children experience a real Swedish Christmas, preferably with snow…
Madeleine wants her three children to get part of the Swedish Christmas traditions, to feel the same excitement and expectation of Santa Claus, as she herself did as little.
Then Christmas was always celebrated at home at Drottningholm Palace, nowadays they alternate and this year Christmas is also celebrated with the whole family at home at Victoria at Haga.
Of course, there is sometimes tug of war between the families. The other year, Madeleine and Chris were absent from the Swedish celebration because Grandma Eva O'Neill wanted to meet them.
This year, it is the Swedish royal couple's turn and the queen gets to spend time with those "little popcorns", which she so sweetly called Leonore, Nicolas and Adrienne the other day.
Many miss Princess Madeleine in Sweden, and she certainly has to pay a high price. Three moves within the space of a few years, it was only five months since she and Chris moved to the latest destination Florida.
If Madeleine were to choose for herself, she would most likely stay in Sweden, but sometimes you have to compromise. Chris is said to have had problems with his businesses in London, and the threat of Brexit has not made it better.
Now, the family has a good life in Florida, Madeleine told to Expressen this autumn.
Sun, bath and luxury life must have their advantages, but it is no secret that Madeleine has the homesickness, she has previously told to Expressen.
Sometimes the longing for Sweden, friends, nature and above all her mother is very big.
Luckily, Silvia came and visited in the US just a few weeks ago.
