Matthias Killing and the surprising meeting with Princess Madeleine

Moderator Matthias Killing experienced a remarkable encounter during the ice hockey world championship in Stockholm. Together with his team, he explored the Swedish capital when he dealt with the place of residence of the royal family. The houses of Crown Princess Victoria and Princess Madeleine in particular were the focus of his considerations. In a food court he finally met a person who noticed him because she resembled Madeleine. Loyalty and curiosity drove him to further explore the situation.

In the course of this discovery, the team's production manager suddenly called that she saw a person who looks like Princess Madeleine. Matthias Killing made his way to the cheese counter to check the supposed princess. He compared the appearance of the woman with pictures he found on Google. Killing's spontaneous greeting at the cheese counter, "Nice Cheese!"

A look at the Swedish royal family

Princess Madeleine, born on June 10, 1982, is entitled H.K.H. And is the youngest child of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia. She is number 8 in the succession of the throne and has had a husband with Christopher O’Neill since June 8, 2012. Together they have a family with two children: Princess Leonore, born on February 20, 2014, and Prince Nicolas, born on June 15, 2015.

The Swedish monarch, King Carl XVI Gustaf, is known for his commitment to nature and environmental protection. He reached his office as king on September 15, 1973, and his family is very interested in automotive sports and cultural issues. Queen Silvia, born on December 23, 1943, is the founder of the World Childhood Foundation and speaks six languages.

The succession to the throne in the Swedish royal family is clearly structured. At the top is King Carl XVI Gustaf, followed by his daughter, Crown Princess Victoria, who is the first to sequence. Her children, Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar, take three and four places. Prince Carl Philip and his family, including Prince Alexander, Prince Gabriel and Prince Julian, and Princess Madeline's children, complete the long list of successors.

Killing led this knowledge to consider Royals as people with families and hobbies.
