Marble stair anxiety

December 11th, 2004 · No Comments

PrinceStairs: Betsy Devine and HRH Prince Carl Philip

The Nobel banquet’s menu and music are secrets, right up to the day itself. But the seating arrangement–and the processional order for going in–are featured in Swedish newspapers days beforehand.

I was a bit nervous to hear that I would be walking down three flights of marble stairs on the arm of His Royal Highness Prince Carl Philip.

Longtime readers of this blog no doubt expect here some jokes about the handsome (and charming) princes in fairy tales. On the other hand, I can imagine the kind of teasing a twenty-something young man would get from friends if he’s the topic of such a blogpost, no matter how admiringly I would mean it.

I had a wonderful time at dinner, between the charming and computer-graphics-savvy Prince on my left and my fellow opera-fanatic Richard Axel on my right–for even more Nobel gossip, see Svenska Dagblad and Dagens Nyheter.
