Sweden's Royal Family Celebrates Princess Ines' Joyful Christening
ROYALTY ALERT!
The Swedish Royal Family has been abuzz with excitement as they celebrated the christening of Princess Ines Marie Lilian Silva, the adorable four-month-old daughter of Prince Carl Philip and his beautiful wife, Princess Sofia. And let's just say, the whole ceremony was nothing short of regal and stunning!
In a grand ceremony held at Drottningholm Palace Chapel, just outside Stockholm, the tiny princess was surrounded by her beaming family, including her proud parents, who looked absolutely dashing in their finery. Carl Philip sported his military uniform, while Sofia stole the show in a bright yellow gown that matched her sunny personality.
The happy couple's three mischievous sons, Prince Alexander (9), Prince Gabriel (7), and Prince Julian (4), also made an appearance, looking every inch the dashing princes they are. And let's not forget the proud matriarch, Crown Princess Victoria, who beamed with pride alongside her sister-in-law, Princess Madeleine.
But what really caught our eye was the stunning array of guests in attendance. King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia were there to support their son and daughter-in-law, as well as their new grandchild. And little Ines's older cousins, including Crown Princess Victoria's children, Princess Estelle (13) and Prince Oscar (9), looked like they were having the time of their lives.
THE GODMOTHER REVEALED!
In a delightful twist, it was revealed that Princess Estelle, second-in-line to the throne, is one of Ines's godparents. We can't help but wonder if this little princess is going to grow up to be just as fabulous and fashionable as her mum!
THE ROYAL FAMILY'S BIG NEWS!
Just yesterday, we shared the news that Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Philip had welcomed their fourth child, a beautiful baby girl named Ines. And let's just say, she's stolen our hearts with those adorable little features.
The Swedish Palace announced the arrival of the new princess on February 7, revealing that she weighed in at a healthy 6 pounds 13 ounces (3 kg) and measured 20 inches (50 cm) long. And get this – little Ines is eighth in line to the throne!
THE ROYAL COUPLE'S LOVE STORY!
But what really caught our attention was the sweet social media post shared by Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia just days after their daughter's birth. The caption read: "It turned out to be a perfect little quartet. Big and warm thanks for all the nice congratulations to our little Ines."
The adorable photos showed the three older brothers gazing lovingly at their new sister, while Prince Julian sweetly pecked her on the forehead. And let's not forget the Instagram comment from Princess Beatrice's husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi – "Congratulations" indeed!
THE ROYAL FAMILY'S BIG DECISION!
In a surprising move last year, King Carl XVI Gustaf announced that he would be stripping his grandchildren of their HRH titles. But don't worry, it's all in the name of preparing them for their future lives outside the royal family.
The monarch explained that this decision was made to help his grandkids "eventually carve out their own future". And let's just say, we can't wait to see what the future holds for these talented and lovely young royals!
THE ROYAL FAMILY'S BIG DAY OUT!
As for today's christening ceremony, it was truly a day of celebration and joy. With the Swedish Palace releasing an official portrait of little Ines, captured by her proud mother, we can't help but feel like we're getting a glimpse into the royal family's private lives.
And let's not forget those stunning photos of Princess Sofia leaving the hospital just days after giving birth – radiant and glowing, as always. We're so grateful to have access to these exclusive shots, courtesy of our friends at thescholarlynote.com!
THE ROYAL FAMILY'S BIG MESSAGE!
As we celebrate little Ines's christening today, we can't help but feel a sense of gratitude for the Swedish Royal Family and their commitment to sharing their lives with us. With love, kindness, and generosity, they continue to inspire us all.
So here's to Princess Ines Marie Lilian Silva – may she grow up to be a confident, compassionate, and courageous young woman, making her family proud every step of the way!
