Sweden’s Princess Madeleine wants to move back to Europe

OHMYGOSSIP — Sweden’s Princess Madeleine and her husband Christopher O’Neill are ready to leave New York and return to Europe.

The 32-year-old royal has lived in New York for the last four years but she and her husband, British-American financier Christopher O’Neill, want to be closer to their families.

Speaking to Sveriges Television programme ‘A year with the Royal Family 2014’, Madeleine said: “In the near future we will move to Europe. That’s where we have our families.”

The news comes just two weeks after the couple – who married in June 2013 and welcomed daughter Princess Leonore into the world in February – announced they are expecting their second child together.

A statement on the family’s official Facebook page said: “Princess Madeleine and Mr. Christopher O’Neill are delighted to announce that The Princess is expecting their second child.”

Within minutes of the social media announcement, the post had attracted over 5,000 likes from well-wishers.

Madeleine has previously spoken of how much she enjoys being married to 40-year-old Chris.

She has said: “The sweetest feeling now that we are married is that we really are a team. It really brings a special bond.”
