Sweden's Crown Princess was married in a lavish ceremony in Stockholm on Saturday

The Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden married her former personal trainer on Saturday in a traditional ceremony held in Stockholm’s cathedral.

The Princess, who is next in line to the Swedish throne, met Daniel Westling 8-years ago when he became her fitness instructor. Their relationship was not well received initially due to Daniel’s un-royal status.

However some half a million people lined the streets of Stockholm on Saturday to catch a glimpse of the newlyweds as the royal cortege passed by. The Crown Princess addressed the crowds from the castle after the ceremony saying: “”I like to thank you, the Swedish People for having given me my prince.”

Some 1,000 guests were invited to the wedding and the lavish banquet that followed. Representing the British royal family was Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, and his wife Sophie, the Countess.

Princess Victoria’s sister, Princess Madeleine of Sweden wore a dazzling blue dress for the ceremony. It was one of her first public appearances since calling off her engagement with fiancé Jonas Bergstrom after it emerged he had been unfaithful.

The bride wore a dress designed by Par Engsheden. The simple ivory gown had a 5 meter train and featured an elegant shoulder skimming neckline.

The marriage took place in the same venue and on the same day as the Princess’s parents wedding who were in turn, celebrating their 34^th wedding anniversary on Saturday.

Princess Madeline and Jonas Bergstrom in happier times

The Swedish Royal wedding between Princess Madeline and Jonas Bergstrom has been called off after a Bournemouth student spoke about her fling with the Princess’s fiancé.

A Norwegian student, studying at Bournemouth University, told how she had a one-night-stand with Bergstrom after meeting in a nightclub at an exclusive Swedish Ski resort.

21-year-old Torra Uppstrom Berg revealed all in an interview with a Norwegian gossip magazine. She claimed that she had no idea who Bergstrom was, or that he was due to marry into the Swedish royal family. The student added that she felt sorry for the princess for having an “unfaithful man.”

Initially after the news broke there was no word from the palace. However on Saturday 27-year-old Princess Madeline was seen boarding a plane to the US without her engagement ring and the palace officially announced that the wedding was off. The Princess is expected to spend the next few weeks in New York coming to terms with the revelation.

The couple had been together for 8 years and became engaged last summer after associate lawyer Bergstrom proposed while the pair were on holiday on the Isle of Capri. The pair shared a flat in Stockholm and their wedding date was expected to be announced this summer.

Insiders fear this recent royal scandal could cast a shadow over the wedding of Princess Madeline’s sister, Crown Princess Victoria, which is due to take pace this June. The nuptials are said to be costing an estimated £ 9 million.
