Duchess

When did Princess Madeleine receive her ducal titles? Did she receive them at birth as other Swedish dukes, or at some other point like her sister? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.24.148.208 (talk) 18:29, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

She received them at birth.

video

How do I post a link to a video from www.svt.se site? http://svtplay.se/v/1371409/oppet_arkiv/prinsessan_madeleine_fods?sb,k103034,2,f,103041 Its about Madeleines name And were does it belong in this biography? —Preceding unsigned comment added by LollofromSweden (talk • contribs) 12:58, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cleavage

As a Swede, I take offense at the lack of pictures of the princess showing off her cleavage. On quite a few occasions, she has dressed in a manner obivously intended to display her bosom, and I think it deserves mention in this article. After all, the internet is for porn. 95.209.112.255 (talk) 16:42, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Though the comments above are rather ridiculous, bordering on insulting, many people (primarily men) have been quite excited about the extraordinary good looks and sex appeal of this princess. Recently, however, there has been more criticism of her looks and negative comments that a considerable consumption of alcoholic beverages in her alleged party life style has shown up in her face. Nevertheless, it is widely felt that her youthful good looks noticeably are not fully as ravishing today as they were before. SergeWoodzing (talk) 23:56, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As a woman, I must say, that this is not a big issue. I do not feel it would be wrong at all to have an image of her in cleavage: only a puritan would feel this would be insulting to her. However, on the other hand, I do not think that her appearance is in any way a big issue. An article of a man does not give so much room for such oppinions as does articles of women. She is not a model or an actor, were her looks are important and relevant. On one Nobel prize dinner, she wore a dress with a deep cleavage which was given a lot of attention : this can be relevant to write about, because the reason to the attention was that it was unusual for a princess to wear such a dress. That is a situation, were information about her looks can be relevant to mention. --85.226.47.130 (talk) 14:08, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, the Swedish Monarchy is only decorative now. So, it is much about how they look. СЛУЖБА (talk) 20:35, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and if her brother Prince Carl Philip, Duke of Värmland were to wear speedo trunks at the beach showing off a lot of rear end cleavage, many women and some men could/would/should complain about the absence of of a photo of that. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 00:54, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Party girl

Why there isn't even mentioned that she was wild party girl in her teen and was often parodied/ reported in Swedish media about it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.196.31.31 (talk) 18:24, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly because just about all of that was more rumor than fact? More tabloid populism than serious reporting? Possibly because there are no reliable sources? SergeWoodzing (talk) 22:20, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Coat of Arms

I've constructed a free version of her coat of arms which can be included in the article in a suitable place. /Lokal _Profil 02:39, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Succession Questions

Just to explain the context of the discussion, Princess Madeleine's future child, either male or female, will be in the line of succession to the Swedish throne under the amended article 1 of the Swedish Act of Succession being a legitimate descendant of King Carl XVI Gustaf. Article 4 of the said act also says, however, that "any member of the Royal family" not professing the Lutheran faith "shall be excluded from all rights of succession" and that "princes and princesses of the Royal House shall be brought up" in the Lutheran faith and within the realm of Sweden. Although there is no clear legal definition of who qualifies as a "member of the Royal Family" or as a "prince/princess of the Royal House", I assume Princess Madeleine's child falls under that category (as apparently confirmed by the Royal House itself) and, therefore, Art.4 will apply to him/her when he/she is born. Given that Mr. O'Neill is, however, Catholic, and that the O'Neill couple currently lives in New York and doesn't plan to move to Sweden, should we assume Princess Madeleine's child might conceivably lose his/her succession rights ?161.24.19.112 (talk) 19:52, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
