I Met Prince Carl Phillip at Ambiente’ and He Gave Me a Gift!

Prince Carl Philip of Sweden and Princess Sofia’s wedding has been widely publicized in the media for the past week. I had the opportunity to meet Prince Philip when I attended Ambiente’, in Frankfurt last February with Modenus on Blogtour. Ambiente’ is the largest consumer trade show in the world and is held annually in Frankfurt, Germany. The show is so massive it spans forty football fields in size. If you have never been, you should attend just for the experience. Every year, Ambiente’ announces a partner country for the show. This year’s partner was the good ole USA. Ambiente’ joined with Modenus as a media partner to cover the fair. As a member of the Modenus Blogtour Ambiente’ team, our job was to experience the show and attend important events. Our first matter of business upon our arrival to Ambiente’. was a press conference where Prince Carl introduced his new spring collection with the Danish iconic brand Stelton,

Prince Carl Philip and Oscar Kylberg, together they are the design duo Bernadotte & Kylberg.

When Veronika Miller, founder of Modenus, and creative force behind Blogtour, told our team we were going to a press conference for a Prince Carl Philip Bernadotte, I wasn’t sure what to think. Once we arrived at the press conference, I couldn’t take my eyes off the Prince. He was so handsome and so passionate about his new collection.

Prince Carl Philip uses Prince Carl Philip Bernadotte as his name for his work. He is part of the design team Bernadotte & Kylberg. His partner, Oscar Kylberg, is a lifelong friend of the Prince. The pair have designed interior, product and textile designs in collaboration with some major brands. Their current collaboration is with the Danish company Stelton which was introduced at Ambiente’.

Here’s another interesting tidbit, the Prince looks very much like my nephew, Drew who is also an avid race car driver like the Prince.

About Prince Carl Philip and the Royal Family

As the only son of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, the prince was the heir to the throne for a seven months after he was born in May 1979.But in January 1980 the rules were changed, and the principle of primogeniture was introduced, meaning the throne would be inherited by the monarch’s eldest child, Crown Princess Victoria.

She will then be succeeded by her daughter Estelle, who was born in February 2012.

Sweden is a constitutional monarchy in which the royals primarily serve as figureheads. The King is the country’s head of state, but his powers are limited to ceremonial duties.
