Afternoon tea with a princess is one way to spend a Monday. A group of 12 young children were treated to a fairy tale party at the royal palace on February 22 with Princess Madeleine of Sweden.
Naturally for an event held at the palace there was a dress code enforced, one which required the youngsters to dress up as princes and princesses! The 33-year-old's daughter, Princess Leonore was also in attendance for the festivities. The adorable royal, who celebrated her second birthday over the weekend, was dressed for the occasion in a pink ensemble complete with a matching bow and tutu.

Madeleine, who is the patron of the organization, "Min Stora Dag," which translated means "My Big Day," invited the children into her home. The charity supports children with serious illnesses by granting them a wish, whether it's an excursion or an activity.
The little boys and girls, whose ages ranged between 5 to 8, had travelled from all over Sweden to attend the royal party. The young children were entertained by a magician and treated to juice, cookies and cake.

In photos posted on Madeleine's Facebook page, her daughter Leonore looked extra adorable as she played with her new friends. "Leonore and I had a wonderful afternoon with children from Min Stora Dag. We were all dressed up!" wrote the mom-of-two.
The royal, who also has an eight-month-old baby Prince Nicolas with her husband Chris O'Neill, looked her usual stunning self in a blue gown. She completed her princess look with a glittering tiara.
