Prince Carl Philip looked dapper as he donned his Swedish naval uniform. He graduated as a second lieutenant in December 2002 after training in the Navy.
In 2019, King Carl XVI Gustaf decided that Princess Sofia’s sons, as well as those of Prince Carl Philip’s sister Princess Madeline, will not have HRH titles.
Although they will still be called prince and princess, they will not receive any taxpayer money.
At the announcement, Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Philip said their children would have more freedom as they grow older.
When asked by Royal Central if she had ever considered stepping back from royal life, Sofia said: ‘No. Not really. I think I have found such a fantastic balance and I really see it as a positive that I have survived these stormy years.
“It’s such a huge advantage, because we have the opportunity to be a little bit in both worlds.”
Princess Victoria of Sweden was also in attendance with her husband, Prince Daniel, and their children, Princess Estelle, 12, and Prince Oscar, 8.
