Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia are now proud parents of four, having welcomed their daughter, Princess Ines, last Friday.
The Swedish royal couple recently shared the first official photos of their complete family, featuring their three sons—Prince Alexander, 8, Prince Gabriel, 7, and Prince Julian, 3—adoringly gazing at their newborn sister.
In a sepia-toned snapshot posted on Instagram, Gabriel gently cradles Ines while Alexander holds her tiny hand, and Julian sweetly strokes her head.
Alongside the heartwarming image, Carl Philip and Sofia expressed their gratitude for the warm messages, captioning it: “It turned out to be a perfect little quartet.” Another photo captures Julian tenderly kissing Ines on the head.
The post received an outpouring of love from followers, with many praising the beautiful sibling bond. Among the well-wishers was Princess Beatrice’s husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, who extended his congratulations.
Born on February 7 at Danderyd Hospital in Stockholm, Princess Ines was introduced to the public when Sofia and Carl Philip left the hospital the next day.
On Monday, King Carl XVI Gustaf formally announced her name, though he humorously misspoke before correcting himself.
Ines, who is eighth in line to the throne, does not hold an HRH title, following the king’s 2019 decision to streamline the royal household.
