Yeah, I saw it...

I found a article  from theroyalforums.com/forums...

here a story..

Hard working Vics gets her prince trained

The local always thought that Crown Princess Victoria looked  like a jolly good egg, and this week she proved the point as she put in fourteen hour days during a trip to Hungary. But having sucha dilgent  girlfriend seems to be putting the pressure on her boyfriend Daniel Westling, and this week it was rumored that he had started  "prince training".

This week,  Victoria as doing her bit of Swedish trade with Hungary. The princess was visited Budapest with Swedish trade minister Leif Pagrotsky, and even this Social Democrat policaican was smitten:

She is an enormous resource fro Sweden, " he gushed to Expressen, adding that the princess is "ambitious", sets about her work and great resolve, and gives a good impression.

And it heaping flattery on other countries is the essence of diplomacy, Victoria certianly seemed to carry if off  with aplomb. Her fourteen hour programme on her first day in Budapest appears to have spent praising Hungary's charms.

"I wish I could spedn longer here  and see more of this beautiful country, But I will have to view this as a taster, " she said smoothly , as she urged Hungarians to get taster of the Swediah food that she was there to promote.

But keeping theflag flying abroad is more complicated than it looks, and this week Aftonbladet reported that Victoria's boyfriend, Daniel Westling, had started lessons to turn him into royal material.

The paper quoted a source saying that Daniel, who own a gym in Stockholm, had started English lessons and other special courses to prepare for life as consort to Sweden's future queen. Aftonbladet did not specialty exactly what, apart from English, Daniel was studying.

it was also reported that Daniel has already told his family in Ockelbo, north of Stockholm, that he will marry Victoria. This was backed up by "friends of the couple, who told Aftonbaldet that they were completely convinced that there would be a wedding..

note: at this stage from what I understand these are just rumours and nothing has been substantiated yet. :)

I don't know. He's definitly not for me, I don't like his face. He seems to have a bit of a mean face. And with that he's far too polished!
