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

[rominet09]

So beautiful and delicate, lovely girl !

I'm surprised Victoria and Madeleine wore blue and not pink for the Te Deum.

Carl Phillip is just glowing. Congratulations to him and Sofia! The new Princess is beautiful and I like the name.

I've never been a fan of the Swedish model of titles. I much prefer the Danish one whereby only children of the sovereign and heir are styled Prince & Princess.

I had the impression the outfits were grey rather than blue.
Muted tones to indicate that the country is still in a period of mourning for the victims and families of the shooting in Orebro.

Well as that only came about when HM Queen Margrethe decided to strip her younger son HRH Prince Joachim's children of the titles they had carried since birth in September 2022 I hardly think it can be termed a model . The decision of the King to style HRH Princess Madeleine's children as [initially] both HRH and Princess / Prince of Sweden was far more radical . Frankly I prefer the Norwegian model whereby only the direct heirs to the throne are styled HRH . Personally I love the name Ines

I personally prefer that all the grandchildren of the monarch are princes and princesses but only the great-grandchildren through the heir are princes/princesses (basically the UK system). It’s fine that CP and Madeleine’s grandkids will be untitled but I think it’s too far that their kids’ spouses won’t be titled. That likely means that Oscar’s kids will be untitled which I don’t think is fair.

Victoria and Madeleine dressed in muted colours due to the mass shooting in Örebro, about which the King also spoke at the Council of State.

Yes but they chose blue when they could've easily chosen pink.

I had the impression the outfits were grey rather than blue.

They're both wearing blue not gray. Like I said earlier they could've opted to wear a muted tone of pink instead of blue. It would've been more fitting.

Sweden’s Royal Family Attends the Te Deum Service for Princess Ines

Queen Silvia, Crown Princess Victoria, Princess Madeleine, Princess Christina, Princess Sofia's sisters, Lina and Sara Hellqvist attended the Te Deum

We will have to agree to disagree. To me the outfits look grey.

How is the colour of pink more "fitting" than the colour of blue for a Te Deum?

Princess Ines is not even one month old yet and she has her own category on Wikipedia.

Makes sense, royals tend to be important enough to get Wikipedia pages regardless of age.

Ines is a form of Agnes. The traditional Swedish form of Agnes is Agneta.

Love Agnetha Fältskog, would love to see a Swedish royal use Agneta/Agnetha as a baby name at some point.

Aww amazing. Can’t wait to see the Christmas picture with her and her brothers and cousins at the end of the year, she’ll look completely different by then.

I have my wish and worth waiting for. The second photo especially with her little eye open is the best.

Aww I love this. Love seeing royal family members love and support each other, they’re just family after all.

If Princess Ines would be christened on the tenth wedding anniversary of her parents?

If Princess Ines would be christened on the tenth wedding anniversary of her parents?

Not impossible but 13:th June is on a Friday this year… It may be tricky to invite family and friends then as many will have to take a day off from work… My guess will be on a Saturday or Sunday in late May of early June…

Princess Estelle was christened on a Tuesday but that was exceptional circumstances as she is the heir of the heir…

 

[Skippy]

Very pretty girl but I don't like the name Ines at all. She looks like her eldest brother Alexander.
They will be the stars of the family, Alexander is already the best looking of the bunch. What a handsome little guy he is.

When Sofia's pregnancy was announced I immediately got a "Beckham" vibe - three sons and a daughter. Turns out I was right. I don't find the comparision with Joachim from Denmark, which was made in this thread, entirely applicable since his children are from two marriages.

Wanted to say this and now I retreat back to my cave.

Since duke/duchesss is just honorary titles in Sweden - no economic or otherwise practical function - I assume that it's not set in stone how things work with those titles. It's very different from the UK. Most people here don't know who is duke/duchess of Östergötland, Skåne or Västerbotten.
