Princess Madeleine of Sweden has returned to work, just four weeks after giving birth to her third child. The dedicated royal shared a photo on Instagram, telling fans she had taken part in a conference for her mum Queen Silvia's charity, the World Childhood Foundation. "Yesterday I participated in Childhood's 'International Council Meeting'. I'm so proud of all the good work Childhood is doing!" she wrote.
Madeleine has worked with the royal-established charity since 2006, both in Stockholm and in the US. The princess, who used to live in New York, has served as a member of Childhood's Swedish board of directors since February 2016 and is an honorary board member of Childhood USA.

The Swedish palace announced the happy news just hours after the birth, revealing that Adrienne was born on Friday 9 March at 00:41am. She weighed 3.4kg and was 50cm long.
