Look, the Princess! A car stops in front of the palace. The red carpet is rolled out. The Crown Princess is coming! She has beautiful clothes. She is going to a party. But for Victoria, it is more than that. This is part of her job. A couple of days later the Princess is doing something completely different. She is going to a bridge-opening ceremony. It is windy and her hair is tucked into a hard hat. This is a different part of her job.
What is she wearing? At her brother’s wedding, she wore a dress from H&M. It is a company that sells lessexpensive clothes. She has said that she is not very interested in clothes. And her favourite shoes are a pair of clogs!
