Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia made their first public appearance on Wednesday – two days after announcing they're expecting their fourth child.
The Swedish royal couple are on a two-day visit to their dukedom, Värmland, and are expected to carry out engagements in Arvika, Eda and Karlstad.
The palace shared in a statement on Monday that the princess is "doing well" and there are no changes to Sofia's autumn schedule.
Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia, who are already parents to Prince Alexander, eight, Prince Gabriel, seven, and Prince Julian, three, will welcome their fourth baby in February 2025.
The announcement came just two days after the couple attended Princess Märtha Louise of Norway and Durek Verrett's wedding in Geiranger, Norway.
