Princess Madeleine of Sweden Vogue Scandinavia feature

Overview

Princess Madeleine of Sweden participated in an anniversary cover shoot for Vogue Scandinavia, featuring locations such as the Royal Stables and Djurgården in Stockholm.

In interviews accompanying the feature, the Princess discussed her personal evolution and her relationship with her husband, Chris O'Neill. She reflected on the difficulties of adapting to her role within the monarchy, noting that equestrianism helped her build self-confidence because “there I felt I could be myself.” She 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 recalled once competing in equestrian sports under the pseudonym ‘Anna Svensson’ to avoid attention.

Regarding her marriage, Madeleine described how her connection with O'Neill began as a friendship in New York after she moved to the United States to work with the World Childhood Foundation. She stated, “I knew he would always take care of me.” O'Neill noted that while he sensed a deeper connection early on, he allowed the relationship to develop gradually. The couple, who have been married 13 years and have three children, currently reside in Stockholm while maintaining a private lifestyle.

Madeleine also discussed her evolving role, noting it has changed to allow her to explore interests outside of official duties, such as launching a skincare brand. She remains committed to humanitarian work as vice president and patron of the World Childhood Foundation. Her long-time friend, Natalie Werner, described the Princess as a warm and genuine person who often finds the spotlight challenging due to her shy nature.
