Princess Margaretha can lend an ear to Princess Madeleine

Another Swedish princess can burn the phone lines to New York - Madeleine's own aunt.

The king's eldest sister had her own problems when she was seriously in love with jazz pianist and writer Robin Douglas-Home, nephew of the future prime minister. They ended up calling it off, and the princess later married and separated from another Briton' John Ambler.

Robin romanced Jacqueline Kennedy as well and married the future Sarah Howard but never have up his penchant for royal women. The late Princess Margaret was his final love.

Another Swedish celebrity gets cheated on by her man and this time it is a royal!

Chelsea Davy lookalike, Princess Madeleine Bernadotte of Sweden is doing an Elin by dumping her fiance, lawyer Jonas, after the Scandinavian press unearthed a female Norwegian athlete's story of a one-night stand.

In hopping a plane to New York while the royal court released the official mutual breakup, the princess confirms not being an Ennegram 8.

Is Fergie the Windor's Catherine Howard?

For those of you also catching the final season of Showcase's The Tudors, doesn't Tamzin Merchant remind you of Sarah Ferguson?



If Catherine of Aragon ie wife #1 was an unbending Enneagram 1, party girl Catherine is a giggly #7. In real life, wife #5 actually did think she could get away with cuckolding her husband...

The 'secret' Danish princess who may be a 5

There are currently 5 princesses who are born Danes - Princess Elisabeth, cousin of the three sisters, Queen Margrethe of Denmark, Princess Benedike, and Queen Anne Marie of the Hellenes, and the dignified lady residing in the UK.
Known as HRH The Duchess of Gloucester, the demeure former Birgitte van Deurs, married HRH Prince Richard of Gloucester, the second son of HRH The Prince Henry (third son of George V and Queen Mary) and his aristocratic artist wife and Duke's daughter, Lady Alice Montagu-Douglas-Scott. They planned to live discreetly without the pressure of royal duties until the day Richard became his father's heir. The funloving older son, Prince William, died piloting and the quiet young couple had to give up his architectural career for duty.

Is Albert of Monaco a 5?

The sovereign prince of Monaco gave an interview from his hotel in Vancouver as The Winter Olympics drew to a close. (BTW, the gold-medal winning Canadian Women's hockey team cheered on the men to their victory...) With former champion swimmer Charlene at his side, people are speculating that the bachelor Prince may soon marry.


As you may know, Enneagram 5s won't let convention push them into a decision. Already a father of both a son and daughter out of wedlock, this Prince has resisted pressure for years.

The 9 Lives of Princess Letizia

Like Mette Marit, Princess Letizia of Spain is an example of the Enneagram system's gut centre. Unlike the in-your-face type 8 of the Norwegian crown princess, Letizia is self-effacing, a sign of type 9.

Throughout her life's journey, Letizia, the eldest of three girls of divorced union activist/journalist parents from Asturias, prefers to not get in the way of The Story. A journalist graduate with experience in Mexico and Spain, she gained exposure as a presenter on tv news, anchoring newscasts and reporting from the field. She eschewed the cult of the media personality, maintaining a low profile in her personal life. This approach has been reciprocated by those closest to her, including the ex-husband and family. No beans spilled.

Mette Marit - long fight for true love

The final personality type in the Head centre of the Enneagram system resembles Norway's crown princess. Born Mette-Marit Hoilby, this new princess lived through her parents' divorce and state university student subsidies and bursaries and odd jobs to fund a full-out immersion in Oslo's rave party scene. Enneagram type 8 leads life on her own terms.

A single mother by a convicted drug dealer, Mette Marit met and moved in with the crown prince. Only when she was of their relationship, and that she secured the full support of her future in-laws, did Mette Marit consent to marry in 2001. The Eight type doesn't put up with nonsense and will confront, as newscres captured the tonguelashing fearful-flyer Mette Marit gave her husband in disembarking from a plane.

Sarah is Seriously Seven

... Enneagram personality type 7.

The former royal duchess, Sarah Ferguson, managed to combine concern for Haiti with Fashion Week in New York, participating on the catwalk and acting as a host for Naomi Campbell's fundraiser.

Not a new stunt for Fergie, a few years ago, she and Princess Beatrice strutted their stuff together.
