Summer break has come to an end for  Princess Estelle  and  Prince Oscar  of Sweden!  Crown Princess Victoria  and Prince Daniel’s children returned to school on Monday, Aug. 21. To mark the start of the school year, the Swedish Royal Court shared a new photo of Estelle, 11, and Oscar, seven, that was taken by their mother.

“Back to school! 🎒📚,” the caption reads in Swedish. “These days, many students return to school after the summer vacation. Today Princess Estelle starts year 5. Prince Oscar is starting in 1st grade.”

Following their first day back at school, Estelle and Oscar joined their mom and uncle  Prince Carl Philip  at an evening reception on Monday to welcome the Swedish women’s soccer team back home. The team came in third place at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

After the Swedish team’s win against Australia, the Royal Court shared a picture of Estelle and Oscar sporting their jerseys, writing (translated to English): “The Crown Princess family sends its warmest congratulations to @swewnt after yesterday’s bronze. 👏🏻🇸🇪⚽️.”

Spain won its first Women’s World Cup on Sunday.  Queen Letizia   and her younger daughter Infanta Sofia traveled to Australia to attend the match and celebrated with the team after their historic win.
