Prince Daniel draws boundaries when asked about Princess Estelle

To mark his 50th birthday, Prince Daniel gave journalist Carina Bergfeldt, 43, an extremely rare and private interview that was broadcast on Swedish channel SVT1 on August 29. In the program “Prins Daniel 50 r” (German: “50 years of Prince Daniel”) he is not only angry about the divorce rumors about him and Princess Victoria, 46, and talks about his severe kidney disease and his role behind the crown princess, but also answers more private questions about his children Prince Oscar, 7, who even makes a small surprise appearance, and Princess Estelle, 11. But there are also situations when Daniel has to pull the line because it becomes too private or even too uncomfortable for him.

For example, when it comes to the fact that not only is his wife heir to the throne, but also that his firstborn daughter will one day be Queen of Sweden, ask Daniel to explain what’s going through his mind, how it would make him feel, but Daniel waves it off. “If you just love your kids, it should be good,” he says soothingly. He prefers to dodge in a nice way, even when asked how romantic he is in his relationship with Victoria. “I don’t want to give any examples, it’s too private,” but then emphasizes with a laugh that Victoria would certainly consider him romantic. Prince Daniel knows where his limits lie and has learned to show them in a very personable way.
