A Swedish royal wedding has been called off after a Bournemouth
student claimed she had a fling with a princess's fiance.
Jonas Bergstrom had been engaged to Princess Madeleine of Sweden, 27,
after a romance spanning eight years.
But the 31-year-old prince-to-be is alleged to have cheated on her
with Tora Uppstrom Berg, a 21-year-old photography student at Arts
University College, during a ski trip with friends.

Bournemouth student Tora Uppstrom Berg claims she had a one-night
stand with Jonas Bergstrom while he was engaged to Princess Madeleine
of Sweden
After Ms Uppstrom Berg, who was a Norwegian handball star before
coming to the UK, told of the alleged fling to a magazine, the royal
palace in Stockholm announced the engagement was over.
She claims the encounter took place at an exclusive Swedish ski resort
where they met in a nightclub.
'I had an affair with Madeleine’s fiancé,' Miss Uppstrom Berg told
Norwegian gossip magazine Se Og Hor.
'We were intimate. He followed me home in a taxi at four o’clock in
the morning.'
She claims not to have known who her lover was.
'Had I known, I would never do anything like this. I feel sorry for
Madeleine for having an unfaithful man,' she says.
The dramatic end to one of Europe's most glamorous royal romances is
the latest scandal to shake the Swedish monarchy.
Madeleine’s brother Prince Carl Philip is dating a topless reality TV
show model.
The country is preparing for the wedding of Madeleine’s older sister
Crown Princess Victoria to the owner of a gym in June.
Princess Madeleine is said to have fled to New York for 'peace and
quiet' to recover from the shock of her fiance’s apparent betrayal.
The royal, who is third in line to the throne after her sister and
brother, shared an apartment in Stockholm with Bergstrom.
He proposed to her on the island of Capri last August. Due to the
Swedish constitution the government would have had to refer to Mr
Bergstrom as a prince after the wedding.
No date had been set for the service but it was widely expected to be
announced in the summer.
For three days after the scandal broke the palace refused to
acknowledge the couple had any problems. But on Saturday Madeleine
took off her engagement ring, boarded a flight for the U.S. and a
statement confirmed they had split.
'They have decided that the best for them is to go their separate
ways,' the Swedish royal palace said.
The princess – whose full title is Madeleine Therese Amelie Josephine,
Princess of Sweden, Duchess of Halsingland and Gastrikland – will
spend a few weeks in New York.
Insiders said she would try to overcome her misery by throwing herself
into her work for the World Childhood Foundation.
After completing an undergraduate degree in art, history and ethnology
in 2006, she has combined studies in social affairs with work for the
charity founded by her mother Queen Silvia.
Mr Bergstrom has a master's degree in law and has worked as an
associate lawyer at a firm in Stockholm since 2006.
Miss Berg said yesterday she regretted going public about the fling.

'I could not foresee the kind of dimension this would get and I regret
that I told the story. I feel sorry for Madeleine,' she said.
There are now fears the break-up will cast a shadow over the £9million
wedding on June 19 between Crown Princess Victoria and gym owner
Daniel Westling.
Swedish TV presenter Ebba von Sydow said: 'The consequences may be
that this throws a shadow over the wedding and that would of course
be very sad. It will have an impact on the entire royal family.'
The wedding will be the biggest media event in Swedish history with up
to 1,000 journalists expected.
