June 6, 2018
Sweden has a case of royal baby fever! Over the last several years the country has welcomed SEVEN little princes and princesses. Click through for a look at the Swedish Royal Family's new additions – King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia's adorable grandchildren.PRINCESS ESTELLE – Born February 23, 2012Parents: Crown Princess Victoria and Prince DanielThe heir to the Swedish throne was the first grandchild for King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia. Estelle's father Prince Daniel has previously revealed that his young daughter is “a competitive little person.” He added, “I think she's inherited that from Mom and Dad." She's also a better skier than her father. Crown Princess Victoria's husband admitted, "[Estelle is] much better than me. She's been out on the slopes every season during the past couple of years."

PRINCE OSCAR – Born March 2, 2016Parents: Crown Princess Victoria and Prince DanielPrincess Estelle's little brother was born at Karolinska Hospital. Following Oscar's birth, his proud father Prince Daniel told reporters, "I have not had time to feel just yet how it feels to be a father of two. But it feels good so far!" Prior to his arrival, Crown Princess Victoria admitted that her daughter wasn’t very excited at the idea of becoming a big sister. She confessed, “What [Estelle] really wants is a hamster!"Photo: The Royal Court, Sweden

PRINCESS LEONORE – Born February 20, 2014Parents: Princess Madeleine and Chris O'NeillPrincess Madeleine and husband Chris O'Neill welcomed their first child in 2014. The little Princess was born in New York, the year after her parents' spectacular wedding in Sweden. The toddler's father admitted in the royal family’s documentary that one of the first words he learned in Swedish was kanin, meaning rabbit, “Because that’s Leonore’s little thing.” Discussing their "outgoing" daughter, Madeleine said, “We can't live without the kanin. [Leonore] has a special rabbit and she can’t sleep without it. If we don’t find kanin were not going to go to bed that night.” Unlike her "gentle" baby brother, Madeleine has said, "Leonore has lots of energy, so we have to keep her stimulated and busy.” Photo: Brigitte Grenfeldt, The Royal Court, Sweden

Prince Nicolas – Born June 15, 2015Parents: Princess Madeleine and Chris O'NeillUnlike his older child — Princess Leonore — Christopher O'Neill admitted in a 2016 documentary titled The Year with the Royal Family that his son Nicolas is “a gentle soul.” The little Prince is also a fan of reading. Princess Madeleine revealed, “He has always loved books! So when you cannot find [Nicolas], then he’s sitting with a little book himself, up and down, like he was trying to look into it. It’s very fun, so he will probably be a bookworm!”Photo: Brigitte Grenfeldt, The Royal Court, Sweden
