Although the account was previously only intended for a select few to see, Swedish royal couple Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia have recently made their private account public, giving fans of the royal family an insight into several personal photos shared of the pair before the account went public. The sweet, never-before-seen snaps include several of the couple's children, including their eight-month-old baby son, Prince Gabriel. In one photo taken by Princess Sofia, their two-year-old, Prince Alexander, can be spotted fussing over the new baby, and the couple captioned the snap: "Three weeks ago our beloved son Gabriel, Alexander's little brother, came," accompanied with a love heart emoji.
