News of Sofia's joyful fourth pregnancy was first shared on 2 September. The Swedish royal palace announced the news on the official Instagram page for the Swedish royal family.
The post revealed that the princess was "doing well" and that the baby is due in February 2025. It added that there will be no changes to Sofia's schedule this autumn.

The Swedish monarch decided that Carl Philip and Sofia's children, as well as Princess Madeleine and Chris O'Neill's three children, would no longer be styled HRH as they are not expected to carry out royal duties in the future.
