The Swedish royal couple share their joy: Prince Carl Philip (45) and Princess Sofia (40) had a daughter on February 7. One day later, the beaming couple left the hospital together with their youngest family member. Now they proudly show off the first photo of their little princess! 

Just a few hours after her name was announced. Her name is Ines Marie Lilian Silvia, Duchess of Västerbotten.

The enchanting snapshot shows three-day-old Ines slumbering peacefully in her bassinet - snuggled up in a soft, cream-colored knitted blanket. The little girl is wearing adorable pyjamas with a strawberry print from British label The White Company.

Three big brothers
The little princess has three big brothers: Princes Alexander (8), Gabriel (7) and Julian (3), who attended a thanksgiving service for the birth of their sister on Monday together with their father and the rest of the royal family.

Ninth royal grandchild
She is the ninth grandchild of King Carl XVI Gustaf (78) and Queen Silvia (81).

In 2019, Carl Gustaf decided that of all his grandchildren, only the children of Crown Princess Victoria (47) and Prince Daniel (51) would one day perform royal duties at the highest level.

Princess Estelle (12) and Prince Oscar (8) are second and third in line to the Swedish throne, directly after their mother Victoria.
