This time up is Princess Madeleine who debuts as a children’s book author. Not alone, of course, but backed up by an old personal friend as well as someone who actually is a successful chuldren’s book author, Marie Oskarsson. Previously, her brother Prince Philip has tried to find some niche he could call his own, both car racing and as fireplace irons-designer. Sadly, as seems to be the case with Madeleine’s book, the result is, well, one might say that you can’t say enough good things about it. Or even one or two good things about it.
That Sweden has a royal house at all is as everyone knows one of the most flagrant ridiculousnesses in Sweden. Attempts at a real life by the kids are commendable, perhaps, but, like always, the heavy lifting is done by others.
