On April 27 Swedish princess Madeleine visited the Children's Harbor in Pembroke Pines here in Florida. The princess is going through a break-up with her boyfriend since eight years and has fled Sweden to be with friends in New York. Yesterday the princess cancelled an appearance at Sweden Week in Seattle and her big sister Crown princess Victoria had to jump on a plane and take her little sisters place in Seattle. According to the Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet, the organisers of Sweden Week is not so happy about the change of plans in the last minute, they had originally been promised that the Swedish king himself would appear, then princess Madeleine was announced and now it seems like they Royal Court of Sweden will be represented by the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess, however, is a pro and will do an excellent appearance at Sweden Week.

1 - It's about time to let go of the royal nonsense. It's the 21st century and you still got an institution that's built on nepotism. I'm sure the royal family members wouldn't mind getting out of the spotlight.

2 - @Swede in Canada. I think there is still room for a modern royal family in Sweden, let us see what the new generation comes up with to justify themselves.

3 - Just make sure to incorporate the royal family and have them cover their own bills. Then make sure to charge companies, government etc for the services they receive. Emoticon
