Default NY bikini model now princess after marrying Swedish prince


Please welcome Her Royal Hotness.

Former New York waitress, yoga instructor and bikini model Sofia Hellqvist married Sweden’s Prince Carl Philip Saturday in a grand ceremony at Stockholm’s Royal Palace on Saturday.

The 30-year-old former underwear model — who appeared nearly nude in a men’s magazine in 2004, draped with a boa constrictor — wore decidedly more glamorous attire for her weekend wedding to Prince Carl Philip, 36. Her long, white

gown with flowing train and lace sleeves covered her tattoos.

Hellqvist, 30, a Swedish commoner and former underwear model who posed partially nude wrapped in a boa constrictor for a men’s magazine in 2004, adopted the proper pomp for a European royal wedding.

About 550 guests attended, including Britain’s Prince Edward and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark.

Prince Carl Philip first met Hellqvist, a Swedish commoner, at a nightclub in Stockholm in 2010.

The bride’s unusual past wasn’t the only modern twist in this fairy-tale wedding. In the chapel, a band reportedly played Coldplay’s “Fix You” and a version of Rihanna’s “Umbrella” in Swedish. And some guests arrived at the palace on a

hybrid city bus whose marquee read, “Royal Wedding.”

Carl Philip is third in line to the throne after his elder sister, Crown Princess Victoria, and her daughter, Princess Estelle, 3.

Hellqvist previously competed on the Swedish version of reality-TV show “Paradise Hotel.”
