Sweden’s Prince Oscar and Princess Estelle are growing up fast!
Oscar turned 7 on March 2 and Estelle turned 11 on February 23 with fresh royal photographs of the children taken by photographer Linda Broström at their home of Haga Castle near Stockholm.
In the latest images, Prince Oscar wears a grey sweater and black pants while posing on the couch with Rio, the family’s Cavapoo (half poodle, part Cavalier King Charles Spaniel). In another photo, Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel’s two children sit back-to-back on a staircase, smiling at the camera.
Princess Estelle posed with her arms wrapped over her legs in a sweater, a black and white tweed skirt, and matching white stockings.
The gown is similar to the one Princess Estelle wore in her birthday portrait, which was revealed last Thursday. In the photograph, she is sitting on a chair in the palace, smiling at the photographer. Her neck is adorned with a little heart necklace.
After her mother, Crown Princess Victoria, and grandfather, King Carl XVI Gustaf, Princess Estelle is the third in line to the Swedish throne. During the years, she has accompanied Princess Victoria and King Carl Gustaf on official occasions.
Last year, the little royal debuted new glasses when attending her grandfather King Carl XVI Gustaf’s 76th birthday party. Her black-framed glasses made her look just like her father, who has been wearing a similar pair for many years.
She also wired the frames in March photos posted by the palace to honor World Water Day. Princess Estelle assisted her mother and Prince Oscar in transporting water jugs for the nonprofit Wateraid.
Princess Victoria revealed a new image for her 45th birthday in July, dressed in a pink and white patterned gown with pearl accents and her hair brushed into an elegant updo. She celebrated the occasion with a carriage ride at the Swedish royal family’s vacation residence of Solliden Palace with her husband and their two children.
