The Swedish royal family is celebrating a precious new addition to the family, and we’re celebrating the subsequent baby name inspiration. Princess Sofia of Sweden and her husband Prince Carl Philip of Sweden just welcomed their fourth child — a baby girl.
In the palace’s original announcement, they revealed the princess’ birthday (Feb. 7 at 1:10 p.m.), her weight (3645 grams AKA just over 8 pounds), and her length (49 centimeters AKA just under 20 inches). Several days later, they announced her adorable name:
Princess Ines.
The multicultural name has Greek, Italian, Spanish, and American ties and has an overall gentle and docile vibe. In different cultures, the name Ines is known to mean “kind,” “innocent,” “meek,” and/or “chaste.”
Along with the name drop, the royal family shared the cutest photo of Princess Ines smiling in her sleep which was taken by Princess Sofia (How Kate Middleton of her!). They later shared a family photo of Ines with her three brothers, Prince Alexander, 8, Prince Gabriel, 7, and Prince Julian, 3.
“It turned out to be a perfect little quartet♥️,” the caption said.
During her pregnancy, Princess Sofia told Vogue Scandinavia that she “always, always, always” dreamt of having a family.
“It’s one of my biggest goals in life,” she told the outlet, per People.
She then explained that since both she and Prince Carl Philip came from families of five, they thought that would be “a good number” and were “quite satisfied” with having three kids.
“But, gratefully, there’s a bonus on the way,” she continued. “We feel very humble and grateful. It was maybe not in the plan, but now we are very, very excited. Especially the kids.”
The boys look like they are in total bliss in the precious family photo. There’s also a photo of Prince Julian kissing Princess Ines’ forehead while her eyes are wide open that just melts our hearts. It looks like the Swedish royal family already has plenty of perfect holiday card photos to choose from! Congratulations to the new parents of four, and welcome to the world, Princess Ines!
