Where to meet the prince

Every little girl, reading a fairy tale about Cinderella, dreams of meeting the handsome prince herself and becoming a princess. This dream changes a little over time, but even an adult woman does not leave. But in the modern world there are stories of ordinary girls who marrying a prince.





Today's edition. "Site" She will share one such story with you and tell you about Sofia Hellquist, who managed to become a princess despite all the obstacles.

We will talk about the successful marriage of a simple girl Sofia a little later, but in the meantime, let’s find out who she was and what she did before receiving the title of Duchess.

So, Sofia was born in 1984 in a simple Swedish family. The girl since childhood was active and engaged in sports, from an early age she loved skiing. In addition to the usual school, Sofia attended music and dance.





As a schoolgirl, the girl worked a lot: first as a saleswoman in a store, and then as a waitress. Ambitious Sophia quickly got fed up with this routine, and she decided to completely change her life. At the age of 14, she began to take part in beauty contests and decided to become a model.





At the age of 20, Sofia starred for Slitz magazine. In the photo, the girl was captured topless, and her body was decorated with a boa constrictor. Later, these photos will seriously affect the reputation of the future princess, but in 2004 she did not know about it. In addition, her work was appreciated - the girl was awarded the title of "Miss Slitz - 2004".





Then there was participation in a reality show, similar to our “Dom-2”. To be honest, the show was quite dubious quality, but also added to the girl’s popularity. For a long time, Sofia advertised swimwear and underwear. She then moved to New York and dedicated herself to yoga.

Soon she turned yoga classes into a profitable business and opened her own school. Over time, the future princess realized that it was time to look for a job more serious than participating in shows and photo shoots. In 2005, Sofia began studying accounting.





In 2009, Sofia began to actively engage in charity and social activities. Then she went to Ghana, where she helped build an orphanage. A year later there was a meeting that changed her life.

In one of the nightclubs in Stockholm, the girl met Karl Philip, the Swedish prince, the third in line to the throne. After that, she began a new life. Together with Karl Philip, Sophia appeared at various business meetings and dinners.





Relatives of the prince, of course, were not happy with the choice of Charles Philip and tried to dissuade him from this alliance. However, the prince said he would give up all privileges and titles if he was banned from marrying a girl. Then, apparently, the heart of the parents melted, and in 2014 the couple officially announced their engagement.

Carl Philip and Sofia Hellquist were married on December 13, 2015. From that day on, the former model, waitress and yoga instructor became Duchess of Vermland and Her Royal Highness Princess Sofia.





In October of the same year, it became known that the couple are expecting their first child. On April 19, 2016, a boy named Alexander Hubertus Bertil was born.

On August 31, 2017, the august family was replenished with a second heir - Gabriel Karl Walter. You can see that the couple is happy, in the general pictures they smile and look madly in love.





Princess Sofia has often been criticized for her past, but the Duchess herself has repeatedly admitted in interviews that she has no regrets. According to Sophia, it made her who she is now. Sophia is fully dedicated to caring for the family, children and social activities.





The real story of Cinderella, what else to say. An ordinary girl meets the prince in an ordinary nightclub, and then they will have a happy ending, as in a fairy tale. We wish the Duchess, her husband and children a long life and great happiness!
