SVT changed the name of Victoria's interview with Claes Elfsberg due to her 40th birthday, at first it was "Hennes vänliga majestät" (Her kind majesty), now it is "Hennes vänliga höghet" (Her kind highness). Probably the court has pointed out that Victoria isn't a Majesty.
SVT Play has a short video of Daniel's interview at the program "Hennes vänliga höghet". First is a clip from their wedding and then Daniel tells about Victoria, how they met. Victoria and Estelle are seen. And Daniel gets tears in his eyes when he talks about his wife.

Daniel says at the interview:
- She came to my surroundings where I felt very safe. It grew very naturally.
He continues to talk about her qualities, how she can always meet the weak and vulnerable, with so high performance requirements for herself.
- I would not say that she is somber or so, but on the other hand, I would say she is not as kind to herself as she should be.
He describes her way of meeting people and experiences her imaginative ability as unique.
- There is an incredible warmth that I think creates this person.
He tells about when she was on a trip in an African country and met children who were ill in HIV and AIDS. How she carried around a child who was four years old but seemed to be only two because he was so sick. Despite the disease and the rash, she carried the child.
- She saved the blouse she wore then. After a stock of such strong meetings you become a special person. I think it says a lot about her and the incredible person she is, says Prince Daniel and moved to tears.

Expressen about the video:
Daniel's declaration of love for Victoria - moved to tears
Prince Daniel goes to tears when he talks about love: Crown Princess Victoria. In an interview with SVT, the prince moves to tears when he explains his love:
- We are talking about my wife. This is starting to be too much for me, I feel, says the prince to SVT's Claes Elfsberg.
In an interview before her 40th birthday with Claes Elfsberg, Crown Princess Victoria tells about the press she feels, and about her eating disorders when she was younger.
Her husband for seven years, Prince Daniel, tells that his wife sometimes can be tough on herself. He addresses the performance requirements she feels about herself.
Daniel of Victoria: "Absolutely unique"
On the question of Victoria's high demands on herself, her husband responds:
- She definitely has. She has had too high demands, but I think she is more balanced and can accept that sometimes it does not work exactly as you want. In meeting with people, I think, she is unique. She makes people feel that they are seen, she creates an incredible feeling where she is and strengthens people and works as the unifying positive force in an unbelievable way.
The prince gets tears in his eyes
Prince Daniel and Crown Princess Victoria have two children together: Princess Estelle, 5, and Prince Oscar, 1.
When Prince Daniel gives his declaration of love about his wife, it suddenly breaks for him. His voice is cracking, and he gets tears in his eyes.
Claes Elfsberg asks the prince why he is touched when he talks about Victoria. The prince answers:
- We are talking about my wife. This is starting to be too much for me, I feel. But I'll try to keep myself together. It says so much about her and the incredible person she is.
Prince Daniel also tells how he and Victoria met when the princess was a customer at his gym. They started quickly like each other.
- I'm not used to talking about it so much, I don't think I've done it in a deeper way. We got to know each other and became good friends. We had a long period of time when we were together as friends and got to know each other in a deep and good way. It grew up and felt very natural, says Prince Daniel to SVT.

Another short video of Victoria's interview at "Hennes vänliga höghet" from SVT Play
Claes Elfsberg says that many of your family members have dyslexia. Does one learn to handle it and learn out of it? Victoria says that she thinks so, there are many tools to handle your dyslexia. But it is also about that you get the diagnosis early, that you have someone in your vicinity who understands the problem. There are tools and techniques to you to learn. But if you don't get help in an early stage, it eats your self-esteem. Those unnecessary years...
Elfsberg asks: When one finds out that one has problem to get letters right? Victoria says that in her and her brother's case, their mother was very well-prepared and attentive. Victoria says": "My father has also these challenges, so my mother had an eye on this. We were lucky, we got help at an early stage, but it has meant extra job. Repetive training".
Elfsberg says that he has read that Victoria had training before the school days started. Yes, says Victoria, it wasn't so fun at all.

And another short video of Victoria's interview from SVT (first Victoria and Estelle are shown).
Claes Elfsberg asks Victoria how does it feel to turn 40, it is a milestone in life? Victoria says that it is a figure. It is in the middle of life. It has gone so quickly, I see it as a chance to pause and reflect. I can't really identify myself that I'm 40.

And a video where Victoria speaks with Elfsberg also about the performance requirements and eating disorders.
- It's hard to say and convey how it felt and what it was due to. But sometimes I've had a lot of anxiety and thought things were not so easy.
The Crown Princess said at the same time that she did not really know the anxiety she felt was due to her role as royal:
- I think there are as many reasons to feel bad as there are people and it was very complex to me. Therefore, it was very important that I received professional help and could sort out those pieces. No one should have to feel ill.
In SVT interview, Crown Princess Victoria also says that it is sad that mental ill health is increasing among young people. On the other hand, she herself has left much of the hard behind her, she says. On the question of recovering from anorexia, she says:
- It's probably individual. For my part, I feel that it is a chapter I have been able to leave behind me. But that performance anxiety I had is still there. I have had different tools and learned how to handle it, also by getting older, she says.
