*oh! sorry will be financing with their own hard earned cash* :rollicks:
yeah maybe inbreeds from Falun or the South ... but swedish tourist dont exactly help the economy compared to foreign cash.
I admit she does look better than her old sister (aka Jay Leno)
And many swedish country bumpkins aka simple people will get great enjoyment from reading seeing either wedding on TV and getting to order the commemorative plate.
But realistically what type of genre does this family attract ? Germans ? LOL
The fact remains, if you as a princess share the tabloids with Anna Bok (SP?) and Charlotte Pirelli (SP?) it doesnt say much does it
She is just another pampered blood sucker who lives the high life on other peoples hard graft and contributes bugger. Bring on the revolution and lets see her working as a checkout girl in Willys!
*luckily, am not a tax payer*
At the least,always displaying and on the look-out...

I was thinking the same thing after seeing the recnt pictures...not a woman blossoming it seems.
PS.
Dear Madeleine and Victoria
Since a (admittedly small) chunk of my tax money will go towards making your wedding a special day, I am assuming that I will receive an invitation. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend this happy occasion as I have prior engagements on both dates, however, please feel free to send a piece of wedding cake to my home address.
Yours sincerely....
Yes, I know this is still our tax money...but its not like we are giving them more for the wedding, just that they need to use it in a different way? Eller??
