Sweden’s tabloids went into overdrive this week with news that the 25-year-old bikini model and former Paradise Hotel contestant was the prince’s new belle.
But the race car-driving prince would neither confirm nor deny the rumours when approached on Friday by newspaper Expressen outside the agricultural college he attends in Alnarp in southern Sweden.
“I’m not going to say anything. People will have to accept that,” he said.
Prince Carl Philip has been a regular fixture on the party scene since his previous relationship with Emma Pernald came to an end in February of last year.
