All eyes were on Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Philip as they enjoyed a glamorous date night at the Swedish Sports Gala on Monday evening. The parents-to-be, who are set to welcome their first child in April, added to the elegance of the evening as they posed hand-in-hand outside the event, which is held to honour the success of the country's athletes.Sofia, 31, was impeccably dressed in a long-sleeved midnight blue gown that fell to the floor, her baby bump accentuated by a waist cinching belt. Her 36-year-old husband, meanwhile, looked handsome in a black tuxedo and bow tie.
