Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel's children appear to be embracing the festive period!
On Wednesday, the Swedish royal family's instagram account shared an ultra-rare photo of Princess Estelle, 11, and Prince Oscar, seven, celebrating St Lucia's Day. The sibling duo were pictured in the snapshot wearing full-length white gowns.
Estelle could be seen wearing a golden crown adorned with faux candles, whilst Oscar looked so sweet as a 'star boy' in a white conical hat emblazoned with gold stars.
For the festive occasion, Estelle also carried a basket of freshly baked cookies and Christmas-tree shaped gingerbread biscuits. And we couldn't help but notice how tall she looked in the snap as she towered over her younger brother!

St Lucia's Day (or St. Lucy’s Day) is held annually on 13 December. It is known as the festival of lights and is observed by Catholics, Lutherans and Anglicans, and honours a martyr who brought food to Christians hiding in the Roman catacombs in the 300s.
St. Lucy's story says she lit her way through the dark passages under the ancient city by placing a wreath on her head.
Crown Princess Victoria's wholesome update comes after the Swedish royal travelled to the UK with her husband for a whirlwind three-day long state visit.

Dressed to impress, Victoria wore an off-the-shoulder black floor-length gown crafted by Toteme, complete with whimsical feathers. Her mesmerising garment also featured a daring thigh-split and what looked like a built-in shawl. Sublime!
As for hair and makeup, the mother-of-two elevated her look with a sleek low bun and a brown smokey eye. She kept things natural-looking with a nude lipstick whilst simultaneously adding a touch of drama with fluttery lashes and a pair of sculptural earrings.
