Victoria said that "I'm so happy for them and for us. This has been longed-for".

I guess the konselj will be on Wednesday, followed by the Te Deum on Thursday.
I didn't quite understand Victoria's comment. Is she trying to say the King was longing for a boy to be born in the family ?
The tradition according to the Royal Court homepage is to have the konselj and the Te Deum the day after the birth, unless it's on a Saturday, at least according to this: Tradition och praxis vid kunglig födsel - Sveriges Kungahus [NS4 version] message before Victoria gave birth. That the konselj after the birth of Leonore was six days after the birth perhaps had to do with the fact that she wasn't born in Sweden.They haven't announced it yet so i got the impression that it won't be this week.
It's midsummer week in Sweden and a lot of the government ministers are probably away so maybe they wait until next week.
The 21 gun salute will however be tomorrow.

CP Victoria made no reference to the King in her response. Merely mentioned how happy they are and said ...det var efterlängtat... translated to anticipated, longed for, long overdue... In Swedish it would mean we have waited for the pregnancy to be over and the baby is finally here.I didn't quite understand Victoria's comment.

Have in mind its midsummer week, a short week and People are leasing town to celebrate midsummer
Was Madeleine close to Prince Bertil?
We don't really know. Surely Victoria, Carl-Philip and Madeleine had a lot of contact with Bertil and Lilian but it is said that she had not as much contact with them as Victoria and Carl-Philip
Ok, not up to date on the family members of the SRF, is Bertil a Bernadotte and if so what is the relationship (cousin, uncle etc)?
