Pregnant Princess Sofia beams as she and Prince Carl Philip visit national service offices in Värmland
Princess Sofia of Sweden looked radiant as she took to the stage alongside Prince Carl Philip in the couple’s second appearance since announcing their pregnancy.
The expectant mother of four, 39, looked stunning in black and white during a visit to the Swedish Defence Service and Evaluation Agency on Thursday.
The royal official wore a long, loose white shirt with puffed sleeves that were stretched to the wrists.
In addition to her loose-fitting silk blouse, she wore a black three-quarter length cardigan that fell past her hips.
She completed the casual yet chic ensemble with a pair of sophisticated-looking flared trousers. It appears that this is the same stylish set that the princess wore during her trip yesterday.

Sofia wore her long auburn locks curled around her shoulders, giving her a relaxed yet glamorous look.
She wore her usual low-maintenance makeup, her eyes were a soft neutral brown and her skin looked fresh and clean with a natural glow.

Prince Carl Phillip looked the picture of good taste in a smart gray suit and pale blue handkerchief, his beard neatly trimmed and his hair slicked back.
The royal couple visited the Swedish Defence Conscription and Assessment Agency as part of their two-day visit to Värmland, a province in west-central Sweden.
The Swedish Defence Conscription and Evaluation Agency is an agency within the overall defence sector and reports to the Ministry of Defence.
There, the Swedish government agency carries out recruitment for national service, in which Swedes must participate for nine to twelve months.
During the visit, Sofia listened attentively as she spoke with Christina Malmm, Director General of the Agency, at the Conscription Centre.
Sofia looked sweet and demure as she stood next to her husband, hands clasped, listening to the staff.
At another point, the royal family and her husband paused for a group photo with a number of officials, including: Bengt Forssten, Deputy Head of the Agency, Georg Andrén, Governor of Värmland County, and his wife Maria Andrén, and Christina Malm, Director General of the Agency.

The news follows the news that the couple is expecting their fourth child, after the two announced the happy news on Monday.
The Swedish royal family confirmed that the princess is doing well and that the couple will welcome their sixth family member in February 2025.
The couple, who married in 2015, already have three sons: Prince Alexander, seven, Prince Gabriel, five, and two-year-old Prince Julian.
Carl Philip, 45, is the only son and second child of Sweden’s King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia. His elder sister Princess Victoria, 47, is the heir to the Swedish throne and is currently fourth in line to the throne.
A statement from the Swedish Royal Family said: ‘Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia are pleased to announce that the Princess is expecting the couple’s fourth child.

Prince Carl Philip’s 39-year-old wife (pictured with her family) is “doing well” and the baby is due in February 2025, according to the palace statement, shared on the royal family’s Instagram account this afternoon.
‘Princess Sofia is doing well and the birth is expected in February 2025. No changes are expected to Princess Sofia’s official program for the fall.’
The statement was shared alongside a sweet photo of the couple, with Carl Philip smiling at the camera while his wife leaned her head against his face. The backdrop featured a beautiful lake and several mountains.
Yesterday, the happy couple were spotted for the first time after the good news.
The Princess beamed as she visited a Volvo location in Värmland with her husband this morning, just two days after her pregnancy was announced.
When they arrived at the venue, Sofia was wearing black wide-leg pants, a white ribbed sweater and a pashmina around her shoulders, her baby bump barely visible under her outfit.
