Royal Wedding: Sofia Hellqvist To Marry Prince Carl Philip, Swedish Royal Wedding Bigger Than Will And Kate’s?
The royal wedding of Sofia Hellqvist and Prince Carl Philip will be taking place on June 13. According to People Magazine, the Swedish royal family is preparing for a wedding that could be even bigger than Prince William and Kate Middleton’s. The super-handsome Prince Carl Philip will take a wife — a commoner not unlike Middleton — in less than one month, the announcement made this past weekend (although the two became engaged in October of last year, this announcement was formal, and followed tradition).
“The beautiful couple gathered with the rest of the (incredibly attractive) royal family at Stockholm’s Royal Chapel on Sunday to participate in a traditional ceremonial reading of the banns of marriage. The ceremony serves as the official announcement that the couple intends to wed.”
With the royal wedding approaching, many are curious about Sofia Hellqvist. So, who is she exactly? She is a model who won the “Miss Slitz Competition” in 2004. She was also on a reality television show called Paradise Hotel back in 2005. The 32-year-old has been dating Prince Carl Philip for five years now. A bit of a party girl, there were some concerns about Sofia’s relationship with the Prince early on, but it seems like she has settled down quite a bit over the years.
Sunday’s ceremony was also the time that the royal family announced Sofia’s title after she weds her love. She will be known as HRH Princess Sofia. According to Hello Magazine, people were talking about Sofia’s outfit as her fashion choices are quite appreciated by those who are familiar with the Swedes.
“The bride-to-be, who sported a chic cream jacket and matching skirt teamed with nude court shoes and a black hat.”
There’s no word on whether or not Sofia’s fashion choices sell out in stores like Kate Middleton’s. The Duchess of Cambridge can barely step an L.K. Bennett covered foot out the door before an item goes flying off the shelves.
As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Kate wore a $63 ASOS maternity dress to an event back in March, and it sold out almost instantly. When the Duchess wears something affordable, that’s almost a guaranteed sell out.
Do you think the royal wedding of Sofia Hellqvist and Prince Carl Philip will outshine the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton? Do you think the world will become as obsessed with Princess Sofia as they have become with Duchess Kate?
