The Swedish Court
Princess Madeleine of Sweden and her fiance, American Chris O’Neill will get married in the Church of the Swedish King’s castle on June 8, said the Swedish court in a press release yesterday, December 23.
The first to announce this news was the Swedish newspaper Expressen, to whom the Swedish court informant, Bertil Ternert, announced the news.
The princess of 30 years and businessman O’Neill, 37, have been known each other for over a year and got engaged on October 25.
– “Chris proposed to me in New York in early October, and we are very happy, “said the princess in the video.
It is logical that the wedding date is reported now, believes Roger Lundgren, the chief editor of the magazine Real Swedish. – They gathered around Christmas and would set a date, then it was expected to come now, he said.
That the wedding to take place at the Royal Chapel is not surprising. There was also named Princess Estelle earlier this year.
– The Great Church of Stockholm is too big for this wedding. Victoria’s wedding was three times larger than that of Madeleine. This is a more intimate wedding.
Roger Lundgren announces that Archbishop Anders Wejryd shall marry the couple.
The Swedish princess had been previously committed to the Swedish lawyer Jonas Bergström, a relationship that ended some years ago.
Princess Madeleine Thérèse Amelie Josephine is the fourth in the hereditary line to the Swedish crown after his sister Victoria, her brother Carl Philip and Victoria’s daughter, Estelle. She is also the Duchess of Hälsingland and Gästrikland and works at the World Childhood Foundation in USA residing in New York.
Christopher O’Neill was born in London, where he grew up with his parents. During the past 16 years, O’Neill has worked in the financial industry. Currently he is partner of Noster Capital, a financial services company based in London and New York.
