• Princess Madeleine opens up in new interview
  • She discusses Sweden and personal reflections
  • The global impact of the "World Childhood Foundation"

Princess Madeleine of Sweden, the youngest child of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, has become a dedicated advocate for children's rights.

As Honorary Vice-Chair of the World Childhood Foundation—an organization founded by her mother 25 years ago—she plays a key role in combating sexual abuse, exploitation, and violence against children. In an interview with 'Town & Country,' Madeleine shares how her parents instilled in her the values of being a "fire soul," someone who tirelessly works for a better world. "These fire souls are invaluable in driving change that leaves a lasting impact," she explains.

Return to Sweden and personal reflections

After years in the USA, Princess Madeleine has returned to Sweden with her family, making headlines around the world. Despite the move, her connection to the USA remains strong.

"US will always have a special place in my heart! I met my husband [there], my first child was born in NYC, and I was fortunate to live both in NYC and Miami," Madeleine shares in the interview. Emotionally, she adds, "So, naturally, I miss the friends we made in those places very much."

Her return to New York City for the foundation's anniversary gala feels like a homecoming. "I’m looking forward to honoring champions for children, whose leadership and commitment create lasting change for those most at risk," she says.
