What Is Life Like for the Crown Princess of Japan?
11 December 2009 2:40 PM, PST Sweden’s Crown Princess Victoria and Princess Madeleine dazzled at the Nobel Prize–giving ceremony in Oslo yesterday. Though the morning’s pomp was devoted to Barack Obama’s Peace Prize and much-analyzed acceptance speech, the Swedish royal family took center stage as they dolled out the remaining Nobel prizes. The royal sisters (and brides-to-be) looked stunning—Victoria donned a deep purple gown and six-button tiara, while the always striking Madeleine opted for a gown of green silk and black lace. Both princesses and their mother, Queen Silvia, were decked out in an array of jaw-dropping diamond tiaras, while the men of the family—King Carl XVI Gustaf and only son Prince Carl Philip—kept it simple and stately in white tie.
