But Meghan is a pious innocent girl in comparison with Prince Carl Philip wife Sofia Hellqvist, who previously earned her living as an erotic model. In her youth she posed half-naked with a huge python, which covered her breasts, for a popular male issue. When Sofia and Prince Carl Philip relationships became public, her old photos were printed again.

That event got lots of contradictions. Many Swedish people considered Sofia as an inappropriate fiancée for a representative of a royal family. “That’s a disgrace for royals!” Swedish citizens shouted through social media. Nevertheless, Sofia and Prince tied a knot. Their wedding was watched by millions of viewers all over the world. The young Princess couldn’t hide her happy smile. Could she dream in her early years about such a great day in her life?

Born Sofia Kristina Hellqvist spent her young years in Danderyd, Stockholm, Sweden. She was brought up by Marie Rotman, a manager, and Erik Hellqvist, an employment counselor. Except for Sofia, they raised two other daughters.

When the girl reached her 6th age mark, she moved together with her parents and sister to a small Swedish town of Älvdalen. There the future princess attended a local school. After that she studied at Vansbro Education Centre. She majored in arts.

Having finished her education, Sofia Hellqvist started career of a model. At the age of 20 she appeared almost naked in one of male magazine. Later she acted in an erotic show “Paradise Hotel” and very often was photographed with a cocktail in her arm at some chaotic party.

Several years later Sofia changed. She went to New York and studied English there. She got interested in yoga and passed the course for yoga instructors, having got the right to teach it.

She came back from USA, being a completely different person. She founded a charity organization Project Playground to support ill children. In addition, Sofia visited African countries as a volunteer.

In Stockholm she opened a yoga school. The young woman seemed to forget about mistakes of her youth. But each of them was publicized after Prince Carl Philip had fallen in love with her.

They met in 2009 in one of Stockholm night clubs. Prince Carl Philip had just separated from his long-term girlfriend Emma Pernald. He liked stunningly beautiful young yoga instructor. They started dating – secretly, of course. But in 2010 he dared to make their relationship public.

After that Sofia life turned into her personal hell. Journalists posted all her half-naked pics and even found the tape, where she – jokingly – kisses an adult female model Jenna Jameson. “What a shame!” thousands of people wrote through social media.
Representatives of royal family were not ready to let Sofia Hellqvist enter their family circle. But they changed their mind, when knew the girl better and learnt about her charity activity. “I am not proud of my mistakes, but they made me who I am”, Hellqvist announced in press.

In 2014 her Prince proposed her after 4 years of happy respectful relationships. They wedded in one of Stockholm chapels on June 13, 2015. The bride was wearing a purely white classical wedding dress, decorated with hand-made lace. Her husband put on a Navy officer uniform, which is traditional for members of Swedish royal family.

They exchanged vows and continued the happiest day of their life at the party on the island of Skeppsholmen.
