Royals and heads of state from Iceland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway were all in New York City from the October 21-24. Â That is an unheard of event...to have them all here at the same time.
Though they got in some other events during the trip, they came specifically to honor the 9/11 victims and to tour the New York City 9/11 Memorial.

child, Princess Madeleine, now lives in New York City where
she works in the New York Office for her mother's worldwide
Foundation to aid underprivileged children. Â She is the heir apparent
to run the foundation when her mother retires.

remains single at 30; but she has been dating American millionaire
