Swedish Princess Will Marry Personal Trainer

Swedish couple met at a gym

Share

(Newser) – In what sounds like a real-life Disney movie, the crown princess of Sweden lifted her country out of a glum mood—at least for one day—by announcing her engagement to her personal trainer, the Times of London reports. Crown Princess Victoria's fiancé has undergone a royal makeover: no more baseball caps or long hair, and he now owns three gyms, making him a legit “businessman.”
