“We are so happy and grateful to be able to welcome our third son to our family,” Prince Carl Philip said. “Princess Sofia and I, and his two big brothers, have all been longing for this day. And now we are looking forward to getting to know this new little member of our family.”
Prince Carl Philip is referring to his and Princess Sofia’s two children, Prince Alexander (4) and Prince Gabriel (3). The royal is the son of King Carl XVI Gustaf, which means the new baby is seventh in line to the Swedish throne.
We first learned that Princess Sofia was expecting her third child back in December. The royal couple shared a gorgeous black-and-white photo on their official Instagram page (@kungahuset) and wrote, “We are happy and excited and look forward to welcoming our third child. A new little member of our family.”
Cue the onslaught of baby name predictions.
