Princess Madeleine has been living away from Sweden for the past few years as she and husband, Christopher O'Neill and their three children have been living in Miami.
The family are due to move back to Sweden and have sold their property for an astonishing £7 million. While Madeleine's parents, King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia, alongside the rest of her relatives will no doubt be thrilled for the royal to have returned, she also has several close friends in the Scandinavian country.
So who will Madeleine be reuniting with when she returns to Sweden? Read on to find out…

Billions actress Malin Akerman is known to be friends with Madeleine and likely kept her company during the royal's time in the United States.
Malin hugely admires the Swedish royal family and speaking to HELLO! at the World Childhood Foundation USA Thank You in 2017, she shared: "[Princess Madeleine is] absolutely lovely and is just, I hate to say a regular girl, but she's a regular girl, who is wonderful and a little bit more poised than most of us. But she's great. A really cool girl."

Travel blogger Lovisa comes from a highly-regarded noble family, with her parents being friends with King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia, so it's no surprise that she struck up a friendship with Madeleine.
Due to her travel lifestyle, Lovisa was one of Madeleine's closest friends when she lived in the United States, and it was during a holiday with Lovisa and her boyfriend, Jamie Dingman, where Madeleine met her future husband, Christopher.
