It has been announced by Sweden's Royal Court that Crown Princess Victoria is to marry her long-term boyfriend Daniel Westling.

The 31-year-old princess and 35-year-old gym owner have been dating since 2002 and a statement reveals that the wedding is planned for mid 1020.

Despite not coming from a royal or upper-class background, Mr Wrestling will assume the title of Prince Daniel, Duke of Vastergotland when the couple are wed.

Speaking to the Local, Pamela Andersson, editor of Queen Magazine, said: "I really sense that people are happy about this. Coming to work this morning you could sense the excitement on the streets."

Victoria is first in line to succeed her father, King Carl XVI Gustaf, to the Swedish throne.

In the UK, it has been revealed that Price William and his girlfriend Kate Middleton are moving in together, which has sparked rumours that they are closer to getting married.
