A Girl for Prince Carl Philip & Princess Sofia: Princess Ines Marie Lilian Silvia, February 7, 2025

[Moonmaiden23]

It' s possible that they knew before

I always suspected so. I am happy for them, even though they probably would have been just as thrilled with another healthy beautiful baby boy.

But Sofia is 40 now and may want to bring a close to her childbearing years.

 

[Prinsara]

It's of course an open question as to whether CP and Sofia were themselves surprised or already knew they were expecting a girl some time ago. Congrats to everyone including the new Duchess; name will be interesting.

 

[Countessmeout]

Congratulations to the whole family. Though healthy is all that matters, happy they got a little girl.

I am hoping we eventually get a photo of her with her three big brothers.

 

[Alisa]

Congratulations to the family! A princess is lovely and a nice balance to the number of boys and girls in the grand kids.

[Queen Claude]

It rather have with the King’s decision from 2019 to do, to strip the ”H.R.H.” from Carl Philips and Madeleines children, to distinguish them from Victoria’s family who is the ”next royal family”

Perhaps but he has allowed other royal trappings.

 

[Countessmeout]

Perhaps but he has allowed other royal trappings.

There was certainly a difference even with some royal trappings. No monogram. No live stream of his baptism. They certainly seem to be slowly showing divide. Not fair to strip all royal trappings when his brothers and cousins did. Little princess will likely be same. Private baptism aired later, still royal order and duchy but less pomp then before.

 

[Lee-Z]

Is the name of the little one Sofia too?

Congratulations to the parents and big brothers.

 

[rominet09]

Happy for them and their families.

 

[principessa]

Is it known who will broadcast the konselj?

 

[doro]

This time, there's no press conference, but a short press release

 

[Noble Consort Ming]

This time, there's no press conference, but a short press release

There is still a council of state, no?

 

[LadyFinn]

There is still a council of state, no?

Yes, the Council of State is at 11.15 and according to the court's calendar, the King and the Crown Princess attend. No news so far that the Council of State will be broadcasted live at SVT's or TV4's channels. But we will of course see it at a news clip a little later.

 

[LadyFinn]

Live, the Council starts at 11.15:

Kungen presenterar nya prinsessans namn

Nyfödda prinsessan har fått sitt namn

Prinsessan Sofia och prins Carl Philip har fått sitt fjärde barn. Hon ska heta Ines Marie Lilian Silvia. Men när kungen meddelade namnet råkade han säga fel.

www.aftonbladet.se

Ines Marie Lilian Silvia, Duchess of Västerbotten

Prinsessan Ines Marie Lilian Silvia, hertiginna av Västerbotten

Måndagen den 10 februari hölls konselj på Kungl. Slottet med anledning av att H.K.H. Prinsessan Sofia har nedkommit med en dotter.

Princess Ines Marie Lilian Silvia, Duchess of Västerbotten

On Monday 10 February, a Council of State was held at the Royal Palace on the occasion of the birth of TRH Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia’s fourth child.

www.kungahuset.se

But the King said at the Council: Inse Silvia Marie Lilian.

But when the king announced what her name would be, he called her Inse.

Det heter den nya prinsessan

Ines Marie Lilian Silvia. Det namnet får prins Carl Philip och prinsessan Sofias lilla dotter. Men farfar kungen sa fel namn när han tillkännagav vad hon ska döpas till. – Kungen är jätteledsen, säger hovets presschef Margareta Thorgren.

www.expressen.se

The king said the wrong name for the new princess – Ines became Inse and confused many.

Kungen sa fel namn på nya prinsessan – missen

Kungen sa fel namn på nya prinsessan – Ines blev Inse och förvirrade många.

Inse Silvia Marie Lilian

I may have spelled that incorrectly though.

 

[Kinan]

Inse Silvia Marie Lilian

I may have spelled that incorrectly though.

And Duchess of Västerbotten if I heard correctly(?)

[Adda]

Inse? A surprise indeed. But no surprise in Silvia, Marie and Lilian being included, both grannies and the darling late aunt have been honoured.

Edit: it's INES, not Inse. Lol

 

[Hans-Rickard]

Inse Silvia Marie Lilian

”Princess Inse Duchess of Västerbotten”

 

[crm2317]

How lovely that the king gave his late father’s duchy to his little granddaughter.

For the Swedes or Scandinavians amongst us on the forums, is Inse a common name. I confess that I have never heard it before.

 

[moby]

I've always liked the name Ines but never expected a Princess Ines to come out of the Swedish RF! Always hoped one of the Spanish royals would name their kids Inés.

How is Ines pronounced by a Swedish speaker?

 

[Prinsara]

Perhaps the Duchess’s name is another kungen/knugen moment? Hope not.

I’ve never heard the name Inse before. Similar ones, but not that.

 

[Lady Chiara]

Wasn't expecting Ines at all! Complete surprise. The middle names are the one I expected but Ines is super unexpected

 

[Princess Merena]

Is it Inse or Ines?

Inse a common name

It is not a name at all. He must mean Ines.

 

[Stefan]

Never heard Inse. In german we have the name Inge which is similar

www.kungahuset.se

It’s Ines! But the king definitely sounded like he said it as Inse

 

[Hans-Rickard]

The King definitely said ”Inse” - Not Ines

But The Royal Courts website states ”Ines”

I guess we shall wait for the Te Deum Service to see when the priests will pronounce the name…

 

[Marengo]

Interesting confusion, let's see what it will be.

Inse supposedly is a Frisian name, related to the name Ingeborg.

Inse - Meaning of Inse, What does Inse mean? girl name

Perhaps Ines is more classic names of Alexander, Julian and Gabriel.

Now i’m really confused.

The King definitely said ”Inse”

The Royal Courts website states ”Ines”

Yes, he said "Inse" and the other names in wrong order, I posted the press' reactions to my previous post.

And again a correction: Now the court website says:
Ines Marie Lilian Silvia

Princess Ines Marie Lilian Silvia, Duchess of Västerbotten

On Monday 10 February, a Council of State was held at the Royal Palace on the occasion of the birth of TRH Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia’s fourth child.

What a mess!

Margareta Thorgren:
– The King is very sorry that he said the wrong name. The reason he said the wrong name is that the names were kept secret until just before the Council, even from the King.

Kungens ursäkt efter namnmissen – därför blev det fel: "Jätteledsen"

Kungen ber om ursäkt efter att ha råkat säga fel namn på den nya prinsessan under konseljen.
