Giant leak reveals details of prince's online life
A criminal hacking group Ransomhub managed to steal large amounts of data from Sportadmin's servers in January and recently leaked it on the darknet. High-level politicians and members of the royal family also have their information exposed. Carl Philip's secret online alias was leaked, as was an anonymous email address and now-deleted maps showing where he goes jogging. (..)

Sounds like the prince is using Strava or a similar app.
 
And my first thought was 'I hope all is well with 'Inse'' (all thanks to her grandfather)...
 
I haven’t been following the Swedish Royal Family for very long, so is it normal that Princess Sofia is absent for this long? She had a baby in February but she’s still not attending any events like the opening of the parliament today. Was her maternity leave also this long with her other kids? I know they made comments in the past that they’re prioritizing family at this moment. But they’re completely MIA. The last time we saw them was at Ines’ christening in June. Is this normal? Or is there something else going on at the moment?

Obviously she is prioritizing to be with her daughter this time. She didn't attend the Polar Music Prize celebration in May, the National day evening celebrations, Victoria's birthday concert in July.
When Alexander was born on April 19, Sofia attended the National Day celebrations and Polar Music Prize in June, Victoria's birthday concert in July and the Opening of the Riksdag in September.

Yes, we have a year of parental leave in Sweden. She's an older mother this time so maybe she needs longer to recuperate.

In general most Swedish mothers are on leave for about a year.
 
Restaurant Mimami in Kalmar posted this in the beginning of this week, Sofia posed with the staff:
"Guess who came to visit us? Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia with family!
We are incredibly happy and grateful for this special visit. Welcoming guests – from our regular customers to royalty – is always equally important.
A big thank you to Prince Carl Philip, Princess Sofia and family, as well as our fantastic team who create an experience filled with culinary joy and warmth every day."
 
The fact that they posted about this visit (and not about other customers) shows that the following isn’t true: “Welcoming guests – from our regular customers to royalty – is always equally important.”
