May 1, 2010 (Pen Men at Work): A Bournemouth student came into view last weekend as the improbable wedge that detached a Princess from her fiancé. As a result, one of Europe’s most enchanting regal romances was terminated.

The wedding of Princess Madeleine of Sweden and Jonas Bergstrom, an attorney, was called off on Saturday after Tora Uppstrom Berg, a 21-year-old photography learner at the Arts University College Bournemouth, proclaimed that she had been involved in a romantic association with the prince-to-be.

This has brought to a halt an engagement that purportedly commenced with a romantic proposal in front of most of the Swedish Royal Family at their summer abode.

It was only when she dialed his cellular phone’s number and heard his voicemail that she realized his authentic identity and his romantic bond with the third-in-line to the Swedish throne. Ms Uppstrom confessed that she would never have initiated a passionate relationship with Bergstrom if she knew that he was in a relationship with another woman. She sympathized with Princess Madeleine because of her association with a disloyal man.

The interview made the Scandinavian journalists jostle to acquire a sight of the woman liable for wrecking the eagerly awaited royal matrimony.

Back in Sweden, Ms Uppstrom has been maligned by some. However, she has also been labeled as having done for Sweden a good deed by revealing Bergstrom’s unfaithfulness before the matrimony.
