DescriptionDescription: Few would spontaneously believe this to be a portrait of Sweden’s Crown Princess Victoria – it has nothing in common with traditional images of heirs to the throne. The reason is that it was taken for a fashion and lifestyle magazine. Mikael Jansson, famous as an advertising and celebrity photographer in Hollywood, was flown in from New York specially to take Victoria’s portrait. The image reveals a contemporary tendency to put royalty on a par with other celebrities.
