Sweden royal heir baptised as pomp dislodges scandal
STOCKHOLM, May 22 (Reuters) – Sweden’s high society, from
monarchs to politicians and the jet set, gathered on Tuesday in
a 17th century chapel in Stockholm for the baptism of the future
heir to the throne in a ceremony that has helped divert
attention away from royal scandals.
Long seen as one of the world’s most egalitarian societies,
Sweden has indulged in a bit of royal pomp over the last few
days and blanket media coverage of the christening of Princess
Estelle Silvia Ewa Mary, daughter of Crown Princess Victoria.

Norway’s mass killer complains he being ridiculed
OSLO (Reuters) – Norwegian anti-Islamic fanatic Anders Behring Breivik complained on Wednesday he was being subjected to personal ridicule in court and demanded his killing of 77 people last summer be judged as a battle against immigration.
“I hope you will focus on the issue, not the person,” the 33-year-old Breivik told the court, visibly irritated and swiveling a pen in his hand.
