The Swedish Royal Family are traditionally staple attendees at the annual white-tie Nobel awards ceremony held in Stockholm's Concert House, as well as the lavish dinner that follows at the Swedish capital's City Hall.
This year, the awards ceremonly will be attended by the Swedish King and Queen as well as Crown princess Victoria and Prince Daniel.
However, the entire Royal family will be in attendance at the post-award banquet later in the day. All but Princess Madeleine.
The non-attendance by the fashion savvy princess, generally regarded as the best dressed at the event, will come as a disappointment to many Swedes watching the show on TV.
”But I am sure her presence will be appreciated in the US,” Ternert told Aftonbladet.
The event the Princess is chosing before the Nobel festivities is a celebration to commemorate women in science through the years.
This year marks the 100-year anniversay since Marie Curie received her second Nobel prize, a fact which will be celebrated at the event Princess Madeleine will be attending in New York.
”This is being celebrated in the US due to the clash with this year's Nobel ceremony in Sweden,” said Ternert to the paper.

Given the choice between the Nobel thing and free trip to New York, I'd do the same.
I expect the timing wasn't something that could really be planned differently seeing as the New York event is also to celebrate a Nobel award. Don't they hold these awards at the same time every year? It's the current award on one side and a former one on the other. I expect that it would have been nice to hold both in Sweden, but then perhaps they decided that they didn't want one to run the risk of upstaging another...
The event she is attending - women in science - is very worthy and is linked to the Nobel prize itself. Any anniversary of the award of any Nobel prize is bound to occur on 10th December !
Please don't dramatise things.
But Princess Madeleine have attended the ceremony already several times, so OK that she is not there.
http://www.thelocal.se/43622/20121004/ . Additionally tell - I was send my letters directly to the police and the prosecutor's office in Sweden, it is necessary to wait for their response...if King and his daughter to pay bribes... Can be they honest?
