Exciting News! Sweden’s Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia have welcomed their fourth child, a baby girl! She was born on Friday in Stockholm and weighed 3,645 grams (8 lbs) and measured 49 centimeters (19 inches) long. The young princess has not been named yet or shown in a photo.
Prince Carl Philip is the son of King Carl XVI Gustaf and is fourth in line to become king. He and Princess Sofia got married in June 2015 and already have three sons: Prince Alexander, Prince Gabriel, and Prince Julian.
Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson congratulated the family, saying, “We wish the family all the best!” While the king is the head of state, his role is mostly ceremonial, meaning he doesn’t have political power.
The royal family is very popular in Sweden, and lots of people support the monarchy, even in a society that values equality.
