Royal Baby On The Way: Carl Philip Of Sweden And Sofia Hellqvist Expecting Fourth Child

A new royal baby is coming to Stockholm. Carl Philip of Sweden And Sofia Hellqvist I’m expecting my fourth childThe Royal Family announced this via social media by sharing a beautiful photo of the couple accompanied by a note that explains: «Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia are very happy to announce that the Princess is expecting her fourth child. The princess is doing well and is due in February 2025.. During the fall, no changes are planned to the Princess’s official schedule.”

Married since June 2015, Sofia and the second son of King Carl Gustav and Queen Silvia are already parents of Alexander, Gabriel, and Julian Herbert Folke. The latter, born in 2021, was the first grandson of King Carl Gustav came into the world after the sovereign, in 2019, had stripped of the title of “Royal Highnesses” the grandchildren excluded from the line of succession to the throne. That is, the children of the second-born Carl Philip and those of the third daughter, Madeleine. They are princes and princesses, but the titles will expire with them. A choice approved by Carl Philip and Sofia, who said they were happy that their children could grow up free, without obligations to the crown. AND the same will happen for the new royal baby on the way.

A baby who will bring further joy to a couple where love, as in fairy tales, has conquered everything. When they met, in 2010, Carl Philip was a playboy prince, Sofia a model known especially for her bikini shoots and television appearances. The two seemed to have nothing in common, and the second-born son of the Swedish sovereigns had to work hard to get the girl accepted at court (and from the subjects). In the end, however, true love triumphed: the wedding was celebrated on June 13, 2015. Sofia, who with her marriage assumed the title of Princess and Duchess of Värmland, for her part proved to be perfectly suited to the new role: yes it is quickly adapted to court lifehas never shown nostalgia for his “artistic” past, and has always respected royal duties. Together, she and Carl Philip devoted themselves to the support for important social causesfrom the dyslexia (which the prince himself suffered from during his childhood) bullying (they are co-authors of the book Online Parents’ Guide to Childrenon the safe use of the Internet and social networks). But above all they had three children: the very blond Alexander, Gabriel And Julienwho will welcome their fourth sibling in February 2025.
