Hey, Want to See the New Swedish Princess Topless?

Most prizes for winning reality shows aren’t really that great, and those wishing for fame and fortune after being a contestant are often disappointed. In the case of Sofia Hellqvist I would say she won more than any other reality show contestant, because she’s now a princess.  

Normally I would say “Only in America” to a situation like this, but we don’t have princes here in the states (well, do have Prince and that’s all the royalty we need), but this unusual love story takes place in Sweden. Hellqvist was one of the cast members (and a finalist) of Paradise Hotel in 2005. The show is pretty much what you picture in your head; hot single people living together, hijinks and partial nudity ensue. Of course, Hellqvist didn’t shy away from anything. In fact she also posed for the men’s magazine Slitz only covered by a boa constrictor. Needless to say her past and his royalty was a bit like oil and water, but you know what they say; “love is blind”. I’m sure Prince Carl Philip of Sweden was able to look past her flaws and that boa constrictor to see who Hellqvist was on the inside.  

I’m sure Hellqvist had no idea her time on Paradise Hotel would lead to marrying into royalty, but no doubt this whole affair will spawn more reality television. Hey Sweden, you’ve got one hot princess.
