Welcome to the news, folks! Our beloved Swedish royals, Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Philip, have just welcomed their fourth bundle of joy into the world. It's a girl, and they've named her Princess Ines Marie Lilian Silvia. Isn't that a royal moniker?
King Carl Gustaf, the grandpa in question, revealed the name during a council meeting at the Royal Palace in Stockholm. A bit of a slip-up happened when he initially called her "Inse," but a palace spokesperson reassured everyone that the king was simply taken aback by her arrival and quickly corrected himself. No harm, no foul, right?
Princess Ines was born on February 7, 2025, at the Danderyd Hospital in Stockholm. She weighed a hefty 8 pounds and measured 19 inches long. Her full name pays tribute to some important family members, including Princess Sofia's mother, Marie, Queen Silvia, and Prince Carl Philip's great aunt, Princess Lilian of Sweden, Duchess of Halland. Her title is "Princess Ines," and she has been given the Duchy of Västerbotten.
Sofia and Carl Philip are now parents to four children: Prince Alexander (8), Prince Gabriel (7), and Prince Julian (3). It looks like their little kingdom is growing!
