Karen Ruimy: Glamour and Riots in Paris: An Evening With Eva Longoria…
It was supposed to be the Summer of Love in Stockholm.Princess Victoria, the eldest daughter of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, is scheduled to wed in mid-June, amid weeks of love-themed festivities. The crown princess had already taken her fair share of heat for taking up with a commoner: Her fiance, Daniel Westling, is a former trainer. But now he sure looks like a prince compared to her little sister's true love.
Princess Madeleine Therese Amelie Josephine, 27, shown at left with her fiancé, Jonas Bergstrom, 31, a lawyer, just called off her royal wedding. The cause? Rumors that he had sex with a college student while they were engaged.
First, we'd like to say: It's nice that being a princess doesn't make you immune to this sort of behavior. And we sure wish we had a Royal Court to announce our decisions to the world -- as opposed to having to rely on Facebook. But more than that, we wish all chicks -- on the fast track to the throne or not -- would exhibit such dignity.
"After having thought it through thoroughly, the Princess Madeleine and Mr. Jonas Bergstrom have made their decision to go separate ways," said the statement issued by the court, reports CNN.
Let's do the math: Now he's tainted goods in a country her dad runs, while she's a hot princess back on the open market.
Elin, are you listening!?

Who cares if Elin is a saint or not, NO ONE deserves to be cheated on,
and unfortunately, most men cheat, we all think OUR MAN will not cheat
but guess what, majority of men ARE c heating, and if they are not, they
wish they could and do so all the time online visually.
Men are dogs, wait, worse than dogs. Elin may not be many things but I betcha
she did not do to Tiger what he did to her.

Stop blaming Elin for Tiger's infidelities! No, she is neither a princess nor a saint! The vast majority of us are not . But that does not make her in any way culpable for her husband's decision to be an adulterer. The difference between Elin's situation and Princess Madeleine's is that Elin is married to the cheater. Her decision as to whether or not to divorce her cheating husband is far weightier than the princess' es decision to break off the engagement to her cheating fiance'. (And for the record, Tiger's parents were not divorced, though they were reportedly living separately. Earl Woods was also a cheater.)

While Elin is no princess she IS indeed a human being. Tiger is a little more human than others. He hurt and humiliated his wife and children because he had no discipline. Tiger should know that we have to fight for virtue and grace, he just gave it away. No one deserves to be treated badly and his children certainly deserved to have a dad who respected them and their m,other.

They didn't mean that she is a princess, or a saint. They meant that she shouldn't put up with a cheater. No one should. Princess or wife of a golfer. Anyone. We all make mistakes, but no one has to cheat. That is a conscious decision they make.

Tiger cheated because he could. Lots of opportunities to meet all sorts of beautiful women.....lots of money to do whatever he wanted to with.....fame and fortune usually goes to a person's head and they become "entitled" to do what they want until they get caught. His cheating had nothing to do with his wife or his kids, obviously. They didn't cause him to do what he did, and unless he can control his appetite in the future, he'll cheat again, with or without Elin.

Elin Woods doesn't have to be a saint, just an ordinary, but beautiful wife and mother who found out she was married to a sex-addicted piece of trash. There IS a difference!

Not sure exactly what it is the author wants Elin to "hear" ... that a loser lawyer is available in Sweden or that a princess is? Duh?

That was said for Elin to understand that just because a person is in the public eye, they don't have to stay to "save face." That she should respect herself enough to leave her cheating husband, and that she would gain more respect from others vs. staying in a wrecked marriage & having her children think that "women should stand behind their man, at all cost."

What is it with these stupid guys who hook up with the most gorgeous women, and then cheat on them? Is stupidity becoming terminal? ANY guy who cheats on his woman, deserves every ounce of bad luck and misfortune for the rest of their lives! All they do is ruin it for the next guy who comes along and enters this beautiful woman's life. They're not satisfied with just one woman, oh no. They have to add another notch to their bedpost. And this clown lives in a country RUN by the woman he cheated on! Not too smart, brainiac.

I've said it before and I'm gonna say it again. Pay attention. FOR EVERY BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, NO MATTER HOW BEAUTIFUL, THERE'S A GUY THAT'S TIRED OF F@#KING HER. Not a joke just the cold, hard truth. Most of the time it's because of the liberated feminist PSYCHOPATHIC ATTITUDE.

I appreciate your thoughtful and intelligent comments. As a woman who divorced her husband of twenty eight years due to his addiction to cheating, I can tell you, it took a lot of courage. But that courage came and I regained my self respect. You are so right about how difficult it is to trust someone again -- but like my parents always told me...there is good and bad in every group...men, women, every race, every economic class, every religion. The core of each person is determined by that person and the choices they make. And I chose to respect myself and my children as opposed to allowing the disrespect to continue. I have never been happier.

Elin, are you listening? This was so inappropriate. The princess broke her engagement. Fine. News reported. Who are YOU to suggest to someone you don't know to leave her husband and father of her children. Elin has a brain of her own and her choice is none of your business. And not for your suggestions.

Your headline scared me!
I was afraid Princess Victoria had called off HER wedding.
Best wishes to the happy couple.
I'm glad Princess Madeline found out he was scum BEFORE the wedding!
