Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia of Sweden Expecting Baby No. 4

As a seasoned observer of the lives and tribulations of the royal family, I find myself both saddened and awestruck by the recent health challenges faced by some of its most beloved members. The Duchess of York’s diagnosis with malignant melanoma is a stark reminder that even those who seem to have it all are not immune to the cruel hand of fate. My heart goes out to her as she battles this aggressive form of skin cancer, having already bravely undergone a single mastectomy for breast cancer several months prior.


Delightful news! The Swedish Royal Family is expanding, as Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia are expecting their fourth child. The announcement was made on September 2nd by the Royal Court. Princess Sofia is in good health, and the baby is expected to arrive in February 2025. There will be no changes in her public event schedule.

This action stems from a decision taken by King Carl XVI Gustaf, the parents of Prince Carl Philip and Princess Madeleine, in the year 2019.

According to a statement from the palace, as reported by People, His Majesty The King has chosen to make modifications within The Royal Family. These alterations aim to define which family members will carry out duties associated with the role of the Head of State or responsibilities related to this position. The King has decided that Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia’s children, as well as Princess Madeleine’s children with Mr. Christopher O’Neill, will no longer be part of The Royal House.

As reported by the source, this particular decision did not influence the titles of Crown Princess Victoria’s children – Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar – who are her sons with Prince Daniel.

In contrast, Prince Carl Philip expressed his viewpoint in a 2019 Instagram post, stating that this decision was seen as “a positive” because it expanded the freedom of choice for his offspring. Similarly, Princess Madeleine echoed this sentiment on Instagram, expressing that they had long planned this change and believed it offered their children a greater chance to mold their own lives as distinct individuals in the future.
