– The royal family celebrates the Christmas holiday privately. But Princess Madeleine and her family plan to come home and celebrate Christmas with the family, and she is very happy, said the court’s information manager Margareta Thorgren when the good news was announced.
There is little doubt that the Swedish people like best that the royal couple’s middle daughter spends time on Swedish soil, something she has not done too much of in recent years – especially because of the corona pandemic.
Now can Swedish Happened also reveal another tradition “Madde” has missed this year. Like the Norwegian royal family, it also broadcasts the Swedish «The year with the royal family», where viewers get an insight into the royals’ assignments through the soon-to-be-completed year.
According to the Swedish website, however, Madeleine excels with her absence this year.

– When it comes to SVT’s royal program, this is also affected by the pandemic, and Princess Madeleine and her family live and work in the USA. The official assignments have therefore naturally been fewer, says information manager Margareta Thorgren, and continues:
– It is the royal family’s official mission that SVT first and foremost shows.
Therefore, it is perhaps not so strange that Princess Madeleine does not participate this year.
The princess and the family usually celebrate Christmas with her family in her home country, but last year it was not like that. Due to the corona pandemic, they stayed in the United States and celebrated Christmas there last year.
When she was in Sweden this summer, she was still welcomed with open arms by the Swedish people, and there were several who thought it was sad when she left for the United States again, after almost three months.
Princess Madeleine has not been to Sweden since this summer.
