Prince of Sweden Carl Philipp and Princess Sofia

The wedding of Prince Carl Philipp was almost the main event of the past year for the whole of Sweden. Still, heir to the throne until recently was the enviable fiance of Europe. His choice could be any beauty of the "blue blood". But the thirty-six-year-old Prince of Sweden, Karl Philippe, chose to marry a "prostitute girl", who also had a "stormy past". For the sake of justice, it should be noted that "unequal" marriages from the social point of view in royal families are not a new phenomenon. Some heirs of the throne for the sake of love refused even their high title. It is quite logical that the prince's parents were initially against their son linking his fate with a model that positively poses in front of cameras in the nude. But the prince of Sweden, Karl Philippe, was persistent in his aspirations, and the parents eventually had to accept the choice of their offspring.

Heir to the throne

It should be noted that Charles Philip II is the only son born in a marriage with King Carl Gustav with Queen Sylvia.

The third heir to the throne, and also the titular prince Vermland, he had to wear a crown for a long time, but in 1980 a normative legal act was adopted in the country, according to which applicants for the throne were to alternate on the floor. As a result, the country's management took over the elder sister of Karl Philipp - Victoria.

It is known that the prince has the rank of reserve officer of the naval forces of the country. His hobbies include fine arts, sports, photography.

The future queen

The chosen titular prince Vermland was the yoga instructor and fashion model Sofia Hellkvist. She also became famous for taking part in the scandalous talk show Paradise Hotel. This project was a kind of analogue of the "Last Hero", in which semi-naked people had to survive in the difficult conditions of a desert island.

Certainly, the news that Prince of Sweden Karl Philip wants to legalize relations with a lady who does not shy away from showing off her charms to camera lenses, was apprehended by the royal couple rather painfully. In addition, "poured oil on the fire" pictures, in which Sophia in semi-nude poses for the men's magazine in 2004. Anyway, but to advertise the underwear and swimwear girl was not the first time.

A girl with a stormy past

The girl grew up in a family with an average income. She was born in a small town of Elvdalen. In 2005, she went to the American New York, where she learned the basics of accounting, and in addition to studying worked as a waitress.

However, the prince of Sweden, Karl Philippe, was quite calm about how his second half earned a living in the past.

The girl herself also does not see anything shameful in that she had to pose on the covers of glossy magazines. Now she says that the model business in her life has remained in the past, but she does not regret the experience.

However, the newly-made princess, communicating with the sharks of the pen, prefers to talk more about charity. In 2010, she took part in the creation of the Project Playground, whose goal is to help children with disabilities who live in South Africa. Also, Sofia Hellkvist, on her own initiative, worked as a volunteer in several African countries. She could not even imagine that the crown prince of the Swedish kingdom would call her to the crown.

History of dating

Their first meeting took place in one of the nightclubs of the capital in 2010. The heir to the throne to Sofia immediately arose sympathy, and the girl also responded to him in return.

The romance between lovers developed swiftly. To the public, it was a complete surprise that Karl Philip (Sweden) met with the model. The fact is that the heir to the throne for a long time met with a girl from an advertising agency, which was called Emma Pernald. Anyway, but after a short time, Prince of Sweden Carl Philipp and his girlfriend were officially presented before the royal couple. As already stressed, Carl Gustav and Silvia did not approve of the choice of their offspring, but then they changed their anger to mercy. The bride of the heir has often been at family celebrations.

Engagement

Already in the summer of 2014, the lovers reported on the engagement. And after a year, everyone knew that the wedding of Prince of Sweden Carl Philipp would take place. The news about this could be read in the social network Facebook on the page of the royal palace.

"We can close our wedding day, which will take place in the summer of 2015, when Sweden is especially beautiful. This is a landmark day for us, "the report says.

Noteworthy is the fact that the practice of announcing the marriage was strictly observed in the Swedish kingdom until 1969, and the family of Karl Gustav also adhered to this tradition. But some of the nuances are still neglected. In the past, for example, the bride handed out alms to her subjects, passing through the main street of the city. Sofia will not do this: together with her husband, she will receive gifts in the royal palace. The future Queen hopes to receive as a gift money donations that will be spent by the charitable foundation to support disabled children.
