The Swedish Royal Court makes history as they announce the engagement between crown princess Victoria and Daniel Westling

Today his Majesty King Carl Gustav was proud to announce that princess Victoria was getting engaged to her boyfriend Daniel Westling.

This is cool both because it’s time for the girl to get married and the fact that the King did it on YouTube. It’s obviously not only Barack Obama that has gotten the idea with social media…

Only minutes after the announcement the Official Royal Court site went down hasn’t come up since.

Hmm. Tonight at 5PM Swedish time it’s time for a press conference. I wonder if we can follow it on Twitter!
