“Today, December 6, HRH Princess Sofia turns 37 years old,” the court wrote alongside the close-up photo, which was taken by Anna-Lena Ahlström.

Sofia married into the Swedish royal family in 2015. “I don’t think I knew the magic of love before I met Sofia,” Carl Philip said in an interview with Swedish channel TV4 ahead of his royal wedding (via  HELLO! ). “But ever since I met her, I’ve seen how love can change a person.”

“I completely agree,” Sofia added. “Carl Philip is definitely the right person for me. He’s my best friend.”

The Prince Couple welcomed their first child, Prince Alexander, in 2016, followed by Prince Gabriel in 2017 and Prince Julian in 2021. Sharing photos of her sons and husband after Julian’s birth earlier this year, Sofia wrote: “Life has given me not just one but four beautiful princes❤.”
