As a Finn I give a big plus to the program, because they had been with Daniel in Finland and interviewed him here.
If we are now discussing about "Året med kungafamiljen" (The Year with the Royal Family) at this thread, it would be good if the discussions from previous years (2003-) could be moved to this thread too. It is confusing if we have discussions at two different threads.
A clip from the program, of Victoria's interview. What a great background for the interview! It was done in Malmö on 11th October, when Victoria attended Life Below Water 2017 conference, inaugurated the Marine Educational Centre and visited World Maritime University.
Sara Bull asks if Victoria sometimes feels that she is caught by her role? Victoria says: What should I say...? It is clear that it puts some limitations in life. It does. But it opens up for huge opportunities as well. It is giving and taking, like most at your life. Sara Bull says that in the summer they met in Solliden a woman who had come to celebrate Victoria's birthday. At the clip the woman says that the people don't think what the royal family sacrifices for them. They can never do like us, just come here. They have someone with them all the time. It's this freedom... they sacrifice their lives for us. It is so great. They get never paid enough about that. Bull asks Victoria: Does it feel like that? Victoria answers: That is... I believe in this. I want to do what I can for Sweden. I can highlight things and show off Sweden. That is something I want to do with these hikes I have started. To hike through our provinces, it is my way to remind what we have. This fantastic country with enormous resources, totally for free, which only wait to be made use of and discovered. We should make the most of it, and we are not really doing it. Many have not got the chance. I hope that now more people see this, and that it isn't so difficult and doesn't demand so much. That we see the worth of what we have around us.

At Expressen's article is a small clip of Victoria and Estelle visiting Askö Laboratory in September.
Estelle's cute greeting to the animal in SVT
Princess Estelle, 5, seems to have found her favorite animal. SVT's "The Year with the Royal Family", as the only media, got to accompany the little princess at one of her first official missions - and she showed her delight in a special animal.
The program (broadcasted since 1977) shows a selection of the missions that the royal family had during the year.
But this year's program is extra special: Princess Estelle has a central role in the program.
The program starts and ends with pictures from when she and mother Victoria visited the Askö laboratory in the fall. One of the little princess' first official missions with her mother. The laboratory is located in Trosa Archipelago and conducts marine activities throughout the year, where researchers can study the ocean in the field, in the lab or in the experimental hall. It is part of the Stockholm University's Baltic Sea Center.
In the program it becomes clear that Princess Estelle is a true animal and nature lover.
On the way out to Askö, Estelle sings smoothly, lyrically about getting to be at a boat in her mother's knee. And Estelle gets a jellyfish in sight, something she obviously had looked forward to.
- Jellyfish, at last! Hi jellyfish, Estelle smiles.
Crown Princess Victoria tells at the program about her daughter's interest in animals and nature.
- She is very interested in nature and the environment and has asked many questions about the sea and fish. So it felt natural to bring her. It was very successful. She thought it was incredibly exciting, says Victoria.
The program shows pictures of a happy little princess who runs around Askö and listens interested when she and Mom Victoria are given lectures by the laboratory experts.
On their way home, Estelle and Victoria are in the boat, and then Estelle again gets sight of the favorite animal ...
- Oh, there's a jellyfish! Jellyfish! See you next time, jellyfish, says Estelle in the program when she sits in Victoria's knee.

Madeleine has been interviewed in February in London in connection of opening the Room for Children in Nordic children's library. Madeleine says that they like to live in London, there are a lot of green parks and it is very child friendly. But she misses her family and friends, and the nature of Sweden. London is closer to Stockholm than New York and she can get to Stockholm quickly. She also says that they enjoy London now, but it is possible that they move to Sweden some day.
