Swedish princess to wed NY banker
STOCKHOLM -- Three years ago she crossed the Atlantic with a broken heart. Now Sweden's "party princess" returns from New York to Stockholm to tie the knot Saturday with her new, British-American love.
Princess Madeleine will wed New York banker Christopher O'Neill in the Swedish capital, bringing together European royals and top New York socialites.
Madeleine, 30, is the youngest of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia's three children and fourth in line to the throne. She became known as Sweden's party princess in her early 20s, when she was spotted at Stockholm's nightclubs and led a glamorous lifestyle.
But in 2010, Madeleine fled to New York after breaking off an engagement to a Swedish attorney amid media reports that he had cheated on her. Since then, she has lived in New York, working for the nonprofit World Childhood Foundation. Two years ago, she met O'Neill, 38, a partner and head of research at Noster Capital.
