Oscar of Sweden, here is the “rival” of Louis of Cambridge

THE baby royal take the stage. After the irresistible skits of Louis of Cambridge to the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth, the Swedish “colleague” pointed out Oscar. It happened on the occasion of the National Day in Swedenlast Monday, during the festivities to celebrate and remember the accession to the throne of Gustavo I, which took place in 1523. In the usual parade in traditional clothes aboard royal carriages there were also the impeccable King Carl Gustav and Queen Silvia but all eyes were on six years old Oscar, who marched next to the older sister Estelle and to the parents, the heir to the throne Victoria and her husband Daniel Westling.

During the official ceremonies of the Jubilee, Louisthe fourth-year-old son of William and Kate Middleton, appeared unleashed. Between tongues and funny faces, the little one put on a show every time he appeared in public. The Swedish prince did not need to get mad to attract all the attention and sympathy to himself. Oscar, who is two years older than his “rival” Louis, has limited himself to some grimaces, small poutings, greetings and gestures that echoed those of the parents. Pure Nordic styleit seems.

After the royal decree of 2019, Oscar and his sister Estelle they are the only grandchildren of Charles and Queen Silvia to be able to boast the title of Royal Highnesses. But they lead a life as normal as possible. Because this is what parents, future Queen Victoria and former personal trainer Daniel want. A choice that is not surprising. Mom Victoria has always been a rebellious princess and out of the ordinary. In addition to having married a man without a drop of blue blood, had a troubled adolescence and never hid the eating problems of the past, which have been solved for years now. Today she is a future queen beloved by her subjects, as well as a wife in love and a proud mother of two: a girl and a boy.

Growing up far from the spotlight, Oscar knows just what transpires from the official photos published by his parents. Photos where he always sports big smiles. The little prince loves animals, dogs in particular. And, like everyone in the family, he is already an accomplished skier. On March 2, on the occasion of her sixth birthday, the Swedish royal house released a new image, taken by the same mother Victoria. A photo in which we see a very happy Oscar playing in the snow. To the third place in the line of succession to the throne after his mother and little sister Estelle, Oscar has the title of Prince and Duke of Scania. Until forty years ago he would have been the one predestined to ascend the throne. But a modification of the dynastic law brought into force the criterion of primogeniture regardless of sex. And then, after Victoria’s accession to the throne, the crown will automatically go to Estelle. Nonetheless, on National Day all the attention was drawn to the miniature prince. A diligent little man in a suit and tie but with the flashes of funny irreverence typical of children his age.
