Princess Madeleine of Sweden graces Vogue Scandinavia cover

Princess Madeleine of Sweden is featured on the anniversary cover of Vogue Scandinavia, posing in a red haute couture gown at the Royal Stables and Djurgården. In a rare and candid interview, the 44-year-old royal discussed her personal journey with self-confidence and the challenges of her role within the Swedish monarchy.

Madeleine revealed that she struggled to accept her royal duties more than her siblings, noting that as a child, she would often run away from photographers. She credited equestrian sports with providing her a sense of freedom and identity, recalling how she once competed under the pseudonym ‘Anna Svensson’ to avoid attention.

The princess also touched upon her marriage to Christopher O'Neill and her life as a mother, emphasizing the importance of nature and animals in her family's upbringing.
