It's A Girl for Victoria and Daniel! Estelle Silvia Ewa Mary: February 23, 2012

[KittyAtlanta]

I am so fond of Victoria and Daniel that I feel as though I have a new family member. Congratulations to the entire SRF and to those of us who love them.

 

[PrincessofEurope]

I was surprised to read the news that Victoria had given birth this morning - i was expecting this news next week or later especially after her last engagement was a few days ago.

Congratulations to the couple on the birth of another future Queen for Europe

 

[Hans-Rickard]

Isn't Sibylla the name of Victoria's grandmother? That's quite swedish to me.

It's a german name. Yes the german born Princess Sibylla was her paternal grandmother.

 

[grevinnan]

I don't believe we will see a picture of the new Princess until just after the King has announced it to the ministers tomorrow.

Great that they are already at home. Now their families can come and go without being surrounded by paparazzi.

 

[principessa]

I hope that Queen Beatrix got a little smile at her face after hearing that her goddaughter has given birth to a princess and that the smile breaks her a little time out of her sorrows, gives her more power to handle the terrible situation with Friso.

 

[stephanievl]

LOVELY NEWS.
I was hoping for a little baby girl!!

 

[Dierna23]

It's a german name. Yes the german born Princess Sibylla was her paternal grandmother.

Well, actually Sibylla/Sibylle/Sibyl is a name from the Greek mythology. The Greek word Sibyl means prophetess.
But I agree that they will most probably choose a more typical Swedish name as there are enough beautiful alternatives.

Yes, and why not if everything went well? Victoria certainly feels more comfortable at home and unless other new mothers, she will have staff at hand to help her and access to her own doctor.

My guess would be that they have already employed a live-in nanny who is a nurse or midwife and can help now and will continue to stay and look after the new addition to the family while she grows up.

Yes, it is quite common today. I stayed with my daughters after my grandchildren were born for 3 to 4 weeks and then their mother-in-laws stayed an additional 3 to 4 weeks. This gave the new mothers time to devote 100% to new child while we saw to all other chores. It was a lovely family time.

Congratulations for CP Victoria and Daniel Westling !

I hope that Queen Beatrix got a little smile at her face after hearing that her goddaughter has given birth to a princess and that the smile breaks her a little time out of her sorrows, gives her more power to handle the terrible situation with Friso.

That was one of my first thoughts last night after the birth.

Congratulations to Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel, both their families and the Swedish people!

Congratulations to Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel!

And, Prince Daniel just does things well. He gave the best Groom's speech we've ever heard and now he looks like the happiest and nicest new father!

God bless them all.

They could have thought of a better headline.

 

[Breffney]

Such wonderful and happy news for Victoria, Daniel and all the family.

Despite arriving a little early the little Princess weighed a very healthy 7 lbs 3 oz.

Isn't Victoria wonderful. ? Back home already with her gorgeous daughter.

Am looking forward now to hearing the Princess's name(s) and pictures from the christening and so on.

 

[Muhler]

Are there some kind of protocol issues to follow now?

Apart from the salutes what other traditions can we expect?

Will there be public celebrations?

Any storks?

 

[Lady Marmalade]

Congratulations to Their Royal Highnesses!!!! And to the NEW Her Royal Highness!! God bless!

[Leslie2006]

Congratulations to Victoria and Daniel on their new baby girl! Glad to know Mom and baby are healthy and at home resting. Can't wait to hear the baby's names!

 

[Lumutqueen]

Haha,it says "Prince Daniel of Denmark"!

Jesus, only just noticed that. They're so stupid.

Prince Carl Philip and Sofia Hellqvist have congratulated Victoria and Daniel: "We are very happy for them and give Daniel and Victoria our big congratulations and wish the little daughter welcomed to the world. I´m looking forward to meet her and to get to know her".

It bothers me a bit that CP's first congratulations was as "we" with Sofia, his not-yet fiancee. Until that announcement comes, it should really just have been from him...

 

[NGalitzine]

oh no no my friend, tha law chango so the william and kate first baby wille be king or queen.

The change in the succession laws in the UK has not happened yet. No legislation has been introduced yet in the UK, and then changes have to be made in the other Commonwealth realms. It could take 2-3 years to complete, if it is done at all.

 

[Josefine]

could he mean We as siblings becouse at the courts webbsite there is congratulations from carl philip and madeleine

It could be we as siblings, seeing as Madeleine isn't in the country for her niece's birth Carl-Philip could be talking for her.

The change in the succession laws in the UK has not happened yet. No legislation has been introduced yet in the UK, and then changes have to be made in the other Commonwealth realms. It could take 2-3 years to complete, if it is done at all.

All 16 commonwealth countries and the UK have agreed to the changes, while it may take time it will be done as the wheels have started turning.

I thought it had been agreed upon during the last meeting of the Commonwealth nations.

Congratulations to Victoria and Daniel. What a fantastic day for them!

 

[Kataryn]

Surely Victoria must be somekind of superhuman that she can leave the hospital so soon!

No, she is not superhuman, but she married her fitness trainer and besides being her prince consort, he surely still sees to it that "his" princess is fit and healthy all around!
