Prince Daniel Former Personal Trainer And Gym Owner - Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden married her former personal trainer, the gym owner Daniel Westling today at Stockholm Cathedral.
About 250,000 people lined the streets of Stockholm as the country celebrated its ‘fairytale royal wedding’.
The couple exchanged vows in front of nearly 1,000 royals and dignitaries from across the world while four ministers conducted the service.
Victoria is also 196th in line to the British throne through her father, a third cousin of the Queen. Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, and his wife Sophie, wearing a grey silk dress with cape, represented the British Royal Family.
The moment Westling said 'I do' in the afternoon ceremony, the gym owner became Duke of Vastergotland and a prince for life - endowed with his own coat of arms and monogram.
Westling grew up in a middle-class family in the village of Ockelbo in central Sweden.
His mother worked as a clerk at the Swedish post office and his father was a manager at a municipal social services centre. Soon, they will rub shoulders with royals and dignitaries worldwide.
