Prince William and Prince Harry are not the Only Royalty on the European Block

We commoners tend to think that the only real royalty is Queen Elizabeth II and her family.  That is not true, although they do get the bulk of the publicity. There are royal families all over Europe or at least royal lineage of the monarchies that use to rule the countries.  The UK royals are still sitting royals and therefore get the most attention.  Millions and millions of people watched on the TV when Prince William married Kate Middleton.  Yes of course her gown was gorgeous.  Yes she was a beautiful bride.

 

Well on Saturday Princess Madeleine of Sweden, 30, and Manhattan banker Christopher O’Neill, 38, were married and yes her gown was gorgeous and yes she was as well.  The couple was married in a Stockholm celebration that drew about 500 European royals and wealthy jet-setters. The church ceremony was at the royal chapel. Her dad is King Carl XVI Gustaf who is Queen Elizabeth's third cousin maybe thrice removed whatever that means. My bet is nobody watched this royal wedding. Follow the link below to see the pictures.  Beautiful.

It was smaller than the wedding of the crown princess three years ago -- but don't be silly, of course there was a horse-drawn carriage.
