2013 Swedish royal wedding
The wedding of Princess Madeleine, Duchess of Hälsingland and Gästrikland , and the British-born American financier Christopher O'Neill took place in Stockholm on 8 June 2013.
Background [ edit ]
The couple at the celebrations of the National Day of Sweden , two days prior to the wedding.
Princess Madeleine is the second daughter and youngest child of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden . As such, she is currently seventh in the line of succession to the throne .[1] wedding of Princess Madeleine's elder sister and heir apparent to the throne, Crown Princess Victoria . In April 2010, however, the wedding was canceled and the engagement was broken off.[2] New York City , where she met the British-born financier Christopher O’Neill. The first time they appeared in public as a couple was in January 2011.[3] [1] [4] [5]
Ceremony [ edit ]
The ceremony was held at the Royal Palace chapel in Stockholm on 8 June 2013.[6] [7] Lars-Göran Lönnermark , Chief Court Chaplain of the Royal Court and Bishop Emeritus of Skara , and Michael Bjerkhagen , Vicar of the Royal Court, conducted the ceremony.[8] [9] SVT , TV4 and TV4 News broadcast the wedding live throughout the entire day for Swedish viewers.[7] [10] Italian fashion designer Valentino Garavani .[11] modern fringe tiara . Madeleine was escorted halfway down the aisle by her father King Carl XVI Gustaf. She and Chris walked together for the other half. At the left of the altar sat the crown of Hedvig Elisabeth Charlotte, Queen of Norway and Sweden , the same crown that was present at the baptismal font at Princess Madeleine's christening.[12]
Wedding cake [ edit ]
The cake was made of 700 macarons stacked into a pyramid shape.[13]
After the wedding [ edit ]
The procession after the wedding
Princess Madeleine did not adopt the surname O'Neill and instead remained without a surname, allowing her to retain the style of Royal Highness Daniel , husband of Crown Princess Victoria.[14] [15]
In May 2013, the Marshal of the Realm Svante Lindqvist announced that O'Neill had asked not to be granted royal status and to remain a private citizen. O'Neill wished to retain his UK and US citizenships and his business as Head of Research at an investment firm in New York City , while relinquishing both the citizenships and business are necessary to become a member of the Swedish Royal Family . O'Neill therefore did not become Prince of Sweden or Duke of Hälsingland and Gästrikland.[16] [17]
O'Neill is Roman Catholic and the couple intended to continue residing in New York immediately after their wedding (but later moved to London, England for a few years), but their children will have to be raised in Sweden and as Lutherans , like their mother, in order to have succession rights.[18] royal status of her three children in an effort to more strictly associate Swedish royalty to the office of the head of state ; they are still to be styled as princesses and prince, as well as duchesses and duke of their provinces, and they remain in the line of succession to the throne.[19] [20] [21] [22]
In August 2018, the Swedish Royal Court announced that the princess and her family were to move to Florida.[23]
