Congratulations for the engagement of Prince Carl Philip and Sofia Hellqvist.
May God Bless them both with happiness for their entire life together.
Sofia is a caring girl. Soon, Sofia will be a wonderful Princess of Sweden!
Best wishes to both of them.
You don't like Sofia Hellqvist? I guess she will grow on us and will change once she's become a princess. I wasn't sure about her either but if Prince Carl Philip loves her, then I wish them all the best. I look forward to seeing her as a Princess of Sweden.
