Discussing her own children’s reading habits, the Princess told the Expressen, “Previously Leonore had not really had the patience, but now we read more and more books, which is great fun,” adding, “It is a cozy moment you have together. There will of course be Pippi in the beginning, but it has been mostly picture books until now.” As for her son Nicolas, she said, “He has always loved books! So when you cannot find him, then he’s sitting with a little book himself, up and down, like he was trying to look into it. It’s very fun, so he will probably be a bookworm!”

Madeleine and her family relocated to London in 2015 after the birth of her son. Discussing her new home with the Expressen, she said that she and her family are "thriving" in London, but “obviously we miss Sweden. We’re all very happy in London right now.” She continued, “This is where Chris works and has his business. But it’s not set in stone that we will be here forever.” Last year, the Swedish royal admitted that she would love a royal playdate with the Duchess of Cambridge's children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. "I would love [a playdate]," Madeleine said. “I'm sure we will cross paths – and who knows what we will do when we do!”
