The wait is finally over for her subjects: Victoria, heir to the Swedish throne, is marrying her former fitness trainer Daniel Westling.
This is the first time in the history of the Swedish monarchy that an ordinary citizen has become Prince Consort.
The stuff of a modern fairy tale?
Since the announcement of Crown Princess Victoria and Daniel Westling's engagement, a wave of excitement has swept across the country.
However, the cheers are also mixed with critical voices predicting an imminent end to the monarchy.
In "The Prince from Ockelbo", the authors go in search of clues and document the contrasting lives of Prince Daniel and Crown Princess Victoria.
In exclusive interviews, members of the royal family, friends of Daniel Westling, supporters and critics discuss the couple's private happiness, what the challenges mean for Daniel Westling and how the wedding could change the reputation of the monarchy.
Previously unpublished footage of Daniel and Victoria and opulent images from original locations allow viewers to immerse themselves in the lives of Victoria and Daniel and get a clear picture of the real-life princess and her provincial prince.
