Crown Princess Victoria & Prince Daniel welcomes a girl!


On Thursday morning, February 23, 2012, at 04:26am, H.R.H. Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden gave birth to a baby girl at the Karolinska University Hospital.

H.R.H. Prince Daniel gave the news himself at 07:00am in a press conference.
No other royalty have ever given the news by themselves, but Prince Daniel said that he didn't want anyone else to say anything, he wanted to hold the press conference by himself. 

UPDATE FEBRUARY 24, 2012:
The new Princess' name was announced today by H.M. King Carl XVI Gustaf.
The Princess' name is Estelle Silvia Ewa Mary! Her official title is H.R.H. Princess Estelle.

Welcome to the world, Princess Estelle! ♥

I've been up all night since I woke up way too late yesterday so I figured that I should just stay awake until tonight so I get my day rhytm back. And since I've been up all night I obviously followed the news until it was announced that the Crown Princess Victoria & Prince Daniel got a baby-girl; a Princess! I think it was so sweet that Prince Daniel wanted to hold the press conference by himself & it was mentioned that no other royalty have ever given the news by themselves after a birth before. I asked my Mom if she thought they would get a girl or a boy & we were both right, because we both thought that they would get a girl, a Princess, and they did! Now I'm very curious which name our new Swedish Princess will get, but we'll have to wait until tomorrow. Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS to Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel!
