Princess Madeleine and her husband Christopher O'Neil have decided that their child will be born in the US, the Swedish Royal Court has announced.
Madeleine reveals royal baby's gender: report (30 Oct 13) Pregnant Princess to attend Nobel alone (19 Oct 13) Royal baby on the way for Swedish princess (03 Sep 13)
"After careful consideration and in consultation with the King and Queen, Princess Madeleine and Mr. Christopher O'Neill have decided that their child will be born in New York," Svante Lindqvist at the Royal Court wrote in a statement.
The baby, set to become fifth in line to the Swedish throne, is expected to arrive at the end of February 2014.
Writer and royal expert Roger Lundgren has explained Madeleine's decision to give birth in New York as a purely practical decision.
"She has had a tough pregnancy, she missed the Nobel banquette for example, and it is simply more convenient to give birth there than in Sweden," he said.
"But many here at home will probably be disappointed, they want their princess back home in Sweden, as part of the royal family. The fact that Madeleine will give birth abroad cements a distance to her."
Lundgren explained that the decision carries no constitutional consequences.
"It has no constitutional significance where she gives birth, as the King and Queen have given their approval."
"Today we live in a global world, we live around the world and experience new things. This will be an international child which will get the best of different worlds," Lundgren told the TT news agency.
Her husband is a Wall Sreet banker!
She can have my baby...
Where will the princess go to deliver her next baby after Obamacare has established a solid foothold in the US?
Obamacare is for the masses.
There will be plenty of elite healthcare for those able to pay the required costs.
We'll take him. He is the first here.
I’m sick of anti-Americans attacking this country and I didn’t expect to find it on FR.
Both, in my view.
“....they have had a lot of trouble in places like Malmo with um immigrants. It’s not safe there any more.”
.
Never thought that the once proud Vikings would surrender their country to a bunch of bearded barbarians.
And all that in a matter of some 30 years.
I’d better shut up after seeing what is happening here at home and neither political party nor the Tea Party daring to reverse the islamization of America.
I could use some of your "fire" on FR's Russia threads, where FReepers swoon over Vladi Putin like some overweight woman at an Obama rally.
We only like Putin because he’s “not Obama” LOL
I Hate The F&^%#N Eagles!
No, there is a Borscht Brigade on FR. They’ll crawl out from under their rocks the next time Russia invades some neighboring, and defenseless country. You will see.
I went to the site and looked at the prior article about her going to the Nobel awards by herself. It seems that her husband works here and they live in NYC. So, this decision makes sense and implies nothing really about either her health or her feelings for Sweden; which I’m sure are warm and patriotic as would be appropriate for a Princess. And I hope her health is excellent and all goes well for her and her baby.
When does royalty get born outside the country they are potentially ruling? I definitely take it she wants this baby to be a U.S. citizen.
Its overrun by muslims.
In the same fashion we are overrun by Mexicans.
This has not happened by accident. It was intentional but I'm not by by whom and for what purpose; I think white Christians although there has been persecution of Jews by Muslims that doesn't get wide press.
Dude. With regard to the family this baby (hopefully) will be born into . . . he or she can become a U.S. citizen at the drop of a hat.
Re your post 25, I agree. That is one attractive woman.
