Most Swedes say their support for the monarchy would remain firm even if Crown Princess Victoria were to marry a commoner, according to a poll published Saturday.
Swedish media have been speculating on whether Victoria, 26, will marry boyfriend Daniel Westling, a gym instructor from a small town in central Sweden.
Seventy-two percent of 1,000 people interviewed by polling institute Sifo said their approval of the monarchy would not be affected if Victoria tied the knot with an average Swedish man. The poll was conducted Dec. 11-17 and had a potential error margin of 3 percentage points.
Twelve percent said the monarchy's standing would be weakened and 8 percent said it would be strengthened. The remainder were undecided.
Victoria's choice of husband would have to be approved by the government and King Carl XVI Gustaf.
