Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Philip are settling into life as a family-of-five, and had cause for another celebration on Wednesday, just weeks after welcoming their daughter, Princess Ines.

The Swedish royal couple's third child, Prince Julian, marked his fourth birthday on 26 March, with the palace sharing two new photographs of the youngster.

The images, posted on Carl Philip and Sofia's Instagram account, show the little prince smiling for the camera as he poses in an armchair at the family's home.

Julian, dressed in a white collared top with navy piping and a baby blue cardigan, was seen giggling with his hands over his mouth in the second shot.

The caption read: "Today we celebrate our exuberant Julian who turns 4 years old."

Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia are also parents to Prince Alexander, eight, and Prince Gabriel, seven.

The couple's daughter, Princess Ines, arrived on 7 February at Danderyd Hospital in Stockholm.

The Swedish royal palace shared the first photograph of the tot on 10 February, hours after her name was announced by her grandfather, King Carl XVI Gustaf.

However, the monarch later apologised after he mistakenly said that her name was Princess Inse.
