Princess Sofia of Sweden opened the Viktor Rydberg Primary School on Thursday. Her baby bump wasn’t the focus.
Princess Sofia of Sweden (39) opened the Viktor Rydberg primary school on Thursday in Fisksätra, a suburb of the Swedish capital Stockholm. The wife of Prince Carl Philip (45) visibly enjoyed the appointment. And contrary to what you might expect, Sofia didn’t make much of her growing baby bump. Rather, the fact that she is expecting her fourth child was almost lost in her black outfit.
Baby bump cleverly concealed
Sofia appeared in a figure-hugging black two-piece suit, consisting of a longer, loose-fitting top and wide-leg pants. A small black handbag and understated black shoes completed her look. Rings and a bracelet in gold sparkled as highlights. The wine-red nail polish added another splash of color. Her long brown hair was styled in a loose middle part. When it came to make-up, she focused on the eye area with lots of dark eyeliner and mascara.
In pictures showing the daughter-in-law of King Carl Gustaf (78) and Queen Silvia (80) arriving in rainy Fisksätra, two umbrellas can be seen being held over her for protection. In contrast to the black outfit, her wide white coat with stylish fringes on the hem shines in the dreary gray of the surroundings.
The baby is coming in February
At the beginning of September, the royal palace announced the new pregnancy. To a sweet couple picture on Instagram, on which Carl Philip and Sofia are seen arm in arm, it said: “Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia are pleased to announce that the Princess is expecting the couple’s fourth child.” The birth date is expected to be in February 2025, as the palace also confirmed.
Carl Philip and Sofia have been married since summer 2015. They already have three sons: Prince Gabriel (7) and Prince Alexander (8) were born in 2017 and 2016. Prince Julian of Sweden (3) was born in March 2021.
