I thought Kings, and Queens where only in Fairytales?

This day was one of many of my great days in Sweden, as I was sitting in class ( a normal day) I received a text message from another exchange student, she asked me if I was going to see the Royals? "What Royals?" I responded, she then explained that the King, Queen, Prince, and Princess (along with her new husband) were going to be in Helsingborg (my town) in 1 hours. I reacted the way any other would... I freaked out! So I left school, and went to see the 'Royals' Let me just say that it was with out any doubt absolutely amazing! It could have been cold, and rainy, and wet, and crowded with shouting people from Denmark, AND Sweden, and it still would have been the best experience ever... Oh wait it was!! There were many people from both Sweden and Denmark, (which made us very confused) and it was a cold and rainy day! Still, another one of those moments that were absolutely un- explainable! So above shows a picture (taken by me! Yes I was that close!!) of the Queen of Sweden which is in the brown jacket and black hat, and the King with the brown jacket. Sorry about the hand, everyone was waving at the King and Queen!

This photo some of you may know who they are.. I believe that it was so popular it was shown in US. The Princess Victoria, and her newly wed husband Daniel. Behind Daniel is Victoria's brother Carl. I may mention that this was the first time in 200 years that the Royals came from Denmark to Sweden, it was the 200th anniversary of the Swedish throne Bernadotte's (who was from France) going ashore in Sweden and entry into the Swedish royal family. (Bernadotte's had stayed in Denmark for some time to change his religion from Catholic to Protestant, because back then you could not enter Sweden if you were not Protestant.)

So anyway this day was like a fairytale to me!!
