It is indeed, and she is the Duchess of Western Gothia (Vestergxtland) as
the crownprincess.

Unfortunately she is at the moment suffering from an eating dissorder as
Diana did, let's hope the similarities stops there. The pallace deceided to
go public with it, to try to help other with the same by putting focus on
the illness.

Well as royal the term would be beautiful. And from her Austian mother HRH
Queen Silvia (nee Sommerlath) she got her dark hair and brown eyes. (Or
maybe from her French ancestry?) As far as the svelte goes, look above.

But I do agree with Brian M. Scott that so far this has nothing to do with
medieval history, or genealogy.
