The Swedish Royal Court recently announced that Princess Madeleine had broken up with her fianc\u00e9, Jonas Bergstr\u00f6m, after weeks of media reports about a brief affair between the groom-to-be and a Norwegian handball star during a ski trip. Yes, handball. (We’ll explain that in another post:-))<\/p>\n

It has been quite a few exciting years for these usually boring Swedish royals. Last year Princess Madeleine’s sister, Crown Princess Victoria, announced her engagement to Daniel, a man of the people. Shortly thereafter Princess Madeleine announced her engagement to Jonas. The King and Queen were said to be happy with Jonas (he came from the proper side of society) and disappointed in Daniel (he owned a chain of workout gyms and came from a normal background).<\/p>\n

Many thought it a bit strange that Princess Madeleine and Jonas announced their engagement so soon after Crown Princess Victoria’s announcement. But that is old news. Oh the lives of the royals!<\/p>\n

Now the drama continues with these crazy tails of passion, handball and skiing. Oh, and I forgot to mention, as an aside, Daniel, Crown Princess Victoria’s soon-to-be-prince, recently received a kidney transplant.<\/p>\n

As for the younger sister, upon making the announcement of the split, Princess Madeleine left for New York City, where she so far has been able to avoid the cameras of the papparazi.<\/p>\n

This is a pretty big deal in Sweden, or is it?<\/p>\n

Let us know what you think. Do you read about the Swedish royals and are you interested in their affairs? Or do you think it is crazy for a country like Sweden to have royals and a royal family?<\/p>\n
