Accompanied by her three children, her dog and the little ones’ nanny, but not by her husband, Chris O’Neill, the princess landed just a few days ago in Stockholm.
Madeleine from Sweden. The most unknown daughter of King Carlos Gustavo and Silvia returned to her home after six years living in the United States. There she decided to flee to get away from her ex-boyfriend and the dramas of the Swedish court. After a long time away from the court, she must now once again face everything that comes with being a full-time princess.
At least she won’t have to face her new responsibilities alone for a long time, since her husband’s long-awaited trip to Sweden will be earlier than expected. After much speculation about the reluctance of the British-American Christopher O’Neill to reintegrate into the demanding life of the Royal Family, the businessman will arrive in the Swedish capital in a week.
This was announced just a few hours ago by the Court’s information officer, Margareta Thorgren, who took advantage of the occasion to justify that O’Neill
will not reach the Nordic country at the same time as the rest of his family. “He is busy with the move, there are many logistical problems,” was the brief reason he offered in this regard.
With this family reunification, the Swedish royals will be able to fully face the important celebration that will take place on July 14. That day the birthday of Crown Princess Victoria is celebrated, with a concert that will take place in the ruins of Borgholm Castle. In addition to the newcomers, the kings, crown princes Victoria and Daniel, as well as Prince Carl Philip and his wife Sofia Hellqvist are expected to attend.
The imminent challenges of Magdalena of Sweden: “She has to do more”
For Princess Madeleine, who has just turned 42, Sweden is still
a very familiar environment: Many of her loved ones live in Stockholm, where she now also wants to build a new life with her loved ones. As soon as she landed, she already had to attend her mother’s birthday celebration without her husband. A circumstance that not only the princess and the Swedish people will have to get used to: after all, the businessman had already announced that she would travel a lot.
But there is another aspect that Magdalena will have to get used to: In Sweden she will play a much more important role than in her previous quiet life in Florida. This is stated by experts in the Swedish Royal Family, who already have
great expectations placed on her. It seems as if they wanted to make it more than clear: the fun is over.

«Now more things will be demanded of him. “He has to do more,” stated the Swedish journalist Johan T. Lindwall forcefully in the program ‘Efter fem’ on the TV4 channel. Like her husband, the royal has been grateful for these years away from the public eye, but for Lindwall, Magdalena’s shyness is no excuse. “Now that she has moved back home and is in Stockholm, she will no longer have excuses if she does not intervene and take on official duties,” he judges. Likewise, she believes that we can
count on “a very busy Magdalena” in the coming months, since “now he will face a great challenge and has to take a step forward. He will have to take responsibility, make official appearances and be much more visible in his various organizations than in the United States.
Although it is possible that the princess continues to take on only small tasks on behalf of the Crown, this royal expert believes that she would not be doing herself any favors: “It would be strange, even if it were alleged from the Palace that she He does not receive an allowance. His prediction is crystal clear: “Now they expect her to start working for real.”
Their love story and their many moves
On the day she blew out 42 candles, last June 10, the Royal House of Sweden definitively confirmed that the princess and her husband
They moved to their country of origin from the United States with his three children: princes Leonore, Nicolás and Adrienne. «Princess Madeleine and her family move to Sweden. “After several years living abroad, they have decided to live in Stockholm for the time being,” the message said.
This return has, however, been in the making for many months. In March 2023, plans to move from Florida were announced for the first time, stating that the family planned to “relocate to Sweden indefinitely.” However, various bureaucratic problems and the sale of his mansion meant that the move was not completed until now.

The love story of Princess Madeleine and Chris O’Neill began precisely in the United States, where they have lived for the last six years. The royal met her now husband in 2010 in New York, where she worked for Queen Silvia’s World Children’s Foundation.
The Swedish Royal Family announced their engagement in October 2012, and the couple said ‘I do’ at the Royal Palace in Stockholm the following summer. The couple lived in the Big Apple during the first years of their marriage, and was born there
his first daughter, Princess Leonore. The three then moved back to Stockholm in 2015, shortly before Prince Nicholas was born, and moved back to London that same year. After the family’s youngest, Princess Adrienne, was born in Sweden in 2018, they made their penultimate transatlantic move to sunny Florida. A sun that now changes again for the Swedish cold.
