Not [that](http://www.royal.gov.uk/Home.aspx) one; [this](http://www.royalcourt.se/royalcourt/other/mediacenter/messagesfromtheroyalhouse/engagementbetweencrownprincessvictoriaanddanielwestling.5.6b0698e911fa8f900588000139.html) one. 😉 I left work early so I was listening to Radio Sweden on the way home. Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden is to may her longterm boyfriend, Daniel Westling (a commoner who owns a gym chain). After the wedding he’ll be known as “HRH Prince Daniel, Duke of Västergörland” (Victoria is the Duchess of Västergörland).

This reminds me of the Swedish Chef, and Swedish meatballs.

Well, just as long as they save the [speecy-spicey and hotsie-totsie](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc_UCc8EQcQ) for after the ceremony. . . .

I found [this picture of her](http://savetheorangutan.org/wp-content/hkh-kronprinsessan-victoria.jpg). Not too shabby for a queen.

But I have to say anyway – the first thing I thought was she looks like a much younger version of Alice the maid from _The Brady Bunch_.
