Can some drop a little comment in the Estelle name news story.

The Local do not permit two posts by the same person in a row. I wanted to reply to two different aspects of the story and forgot. And message to admin, please allow at least 2 comments in a row, it's really annoying when you spend 20 minutes researching and type in a comment only for it to be refused....

For the record this is what I was trying to post... (I'll paste it in as soon as someone else posts after my earlier posting).

....Furthermore the King, Carl-Philip and Madeleine have all taken part in the Vasaloppet or one of the other ski races ending in Mora. (Öppet Spår, Tjejvasan). And they have always used Bernadotte as the surname.

From Wikipedia's page about the Vasaloppet...
Carl XVI Gustaf blev 1977 den förste svenske kungen att delta, under namnet Carl Bernadotte. Han kom på 5 708:e plats.

Translated: Carl Gustaf XV1 became, in 1977, the first Swedish King to take part, under the name Carl Bernadotte. He came 5,708th.

From Vasaloppets result service, online,
Tjejvasa Recreation Class, 2008.
Start Number 2 687 Madeleine Bernadotte (SWE) 02:22:19

So it seems they have used this surname themselves when signing up for sports events and legal uses.

Of course the little baby Princess will be called Estrella Bernadotte.

What's all the fuss about and why would they not use the surname Bernadotte when Madeleine HERSELF used it at the Vasaloppet in 2008?

Proof wanted? Just go to the Vasaloppet dot se page...

I'd say having possibility to edit the comment after posting it would solve the issue.

Yes it would. However you can't do that in the news comments.
