Welcome Prince Alexander!

The Royal Court announced the birth of Sofia and Carl Philip's baby- a boy- on 19 April at 18.25 (6:25 pm)! Prince Carl Philip held a press conference at the hospital a few hours following the baby's birth and told the press that they were surprised it was a boy (they had chosen not to find out the gender) and that the baby had dark hair. The Queen, who was in New York with Princess Madeleine, at the time got to see the baby by using Video Chat and said he was very cute.

The King was accompanied by the Crown Princess when he announced the babies name on 21 April to the Cabinet. The Prince will be called Prince Alexander Erik Hubertus Bertil, Duke of Södermanland. Södermanland has a special place in the Prince Couple's heart because Carl Philip has a house there and it is thought that it was in that house that they got engaged.

The newest Prince's names brought a mixture of surprise as well as the expected. I personally was not expecting Alexander or Hubertus to be apart of the name but I was very confident that Erik and Bertil would be included. Hubertus is one of the King's names so that is a nice tribute to him- I was expecting them to use either Carl or Folke. Erik is Sofia's father's name and Bertil is after Prince Bertil, Carl Philip's beloved Godfather. I am not sure where Alexander came from but it is a lovely name for the littlest Prince.

Victoria wore a blazer from Veronica Virta - some believe it to be a white color and other believe it to be a light pink. I personally think it is white so I am going to include it in that color here below. She also wore a pair of earrings from Charlotte Bonde.

The following day the family attended the Te Deum service for Prince Alexander. It was pushed back a day or two so that the Queen could be in attendance. Madeleine and her family were still in the United States as Madeleine was attending some meetings for Childhood so they did not fly back to attend.

Victoria wore her Light Pink LK Bennett coat which she had modified to remove the collar. She paired it with a Blouse and Skirt from Baum und Pferdgarten which I wish we could have seen a full length photo of! It looked lovely! Heres to hoping she wears it again!

Queen Silvia wore a neutral colored skirt and jacket. The jacket was first seen a few days prior while in New York.

ICYMI: Photo of Oscar

In case you missed it, the Court released a photo of Victoria with Oscar and Estelle with Oscar as a part of a Thank You Message from the Crown Princess Couple.

They attached the following message:

"We would like to convey our sincere gratitude for all the kind greetings and congratulations we have received in connection with Princess Estelle's birthday and the birth of Prince Oscar.

We genuinely appreciate your kindness and that so many of you share our happiness."

Victoria is wearing a top from Baum und Pferdgarten in the newest photo. Estelle is wearing one of Victoria's old dresses. (Victoria wore it back in 1982 to Madeleine's Te Deum)

UPDATE: Day 1 of 5 in Peru and Colombia

Victoria and Daniel began their five day visit to Peru and Colombia this morning by inaugurating  a seminar on education at the University of Lima. Afterwards, they met with students and faculty for a brief chatting session. Next up on their agenda was a visit to a H&M store in Lima. While they were their Daniel joked around with reporters saying if they were not so crunched for time he would like to pick up some pillows for their sofa back at Haga.

Next up was lunch and meeting with the President of Peru. I have not seen too many photos after that but they are supposed to visit the National Museum of Archeology and Anthropology following lunch and then end the evening with a reception at the Swedish Consulate located in Lima. I suspect their might have been an outfit change for the evening reception but I could very well be wrong. (See Below)

She wore a bespoke red dress which is identical to her purple one from Seraphine. (I have confirmed this already) Her pumps are from Acne and her bag is Hunkydory. She wore the same headpiece that she wore to the opening of Parliament in September. It comes from Malinda Damgaard. Her earrings are an old pair which I suspect to be from Chaumet and she wore her Sophie by Sophie Childhood bracelet. I was surprised to see this bracelet as she has not worn it recently but nevertheless pleased to see her supporting her mother's charity (And my favorite one at that!). Her brooch is a dragonfly which we have seen her wear before. Most distinctively in my mind was at the opening of Parliament in 2007.

Later in the day, Victoria changed into a black dress which she belted with a belt from Zetterberg. She wore this belt for the first time in Tanzania. Her jacket comes from Baum und Pferdgarten. Her clutch appears to be from Wilbur and Gussie, but I have been unable to find the exact model.

 

Victoria in Baum und Pferdgarten

Today Victoria and Daniel had 2 engagements. This morning they visited Södertälje, more specifically SweTox. SweTox is the Swedish Toxicology Sciences Research Center, which once again is an interest of Victoria's that she shares with her father.

Huge thank you to @pelletnilsson for letting me share his beautiful photo! Also check out this gallery from Expressen here.

Victoria wore Yves Saint Laurent pumps with her Ralph Lauren white bag that has become a staple for her lately. She wore her symbols necklace from Sophie by Sophie as well.

 

Later in the day, the King, Queen, and the Crown Princess Couple attended the gala concert and party celebrating Sverige Radio's 90th Year.

For this gala, Victoria wore a new skirt from Baum und Pfedgarten featuring flowers. She paired it with a black top which she wore last year with a similar skirt from H&M. The top remains UFO but I wonder if it is H&M or Hunkydory. Victoria wore her Ralph Lauren sandals and accessories from Lara Bohinc. Her clutch she has had for a very long time and I suspect it may be YSL but I have never found anything to be completely sure.

Året med Kungafamiljen

I don't know about you but once the New Year hits, I cannot wait to watch Året med Kungafamiljen on SVT! (Year with the Royal Family) I love the videos and the exclusive interviews! So much fun!! SVT has started to release photos of the program so far and they know how to get viewers! So far there have been 5 photos released and Estelle is in all of them. Certainly gaining viewers by the cuteness factor!

How precious! Victoria is the only one who I can straight off identify her designer. She is rewearing her Baum und Pferdgarten top that she first wore in Africa. And I must say I really do like this!
