Carl Philip and Sofia of Sweden - Your baby grumbles in the family photo
Prince Carl Philip (45) of Sweden and his wife Princess Sofia (39) surprise with a new family photo. In relaxed summer outfits, they pose happily with their three sons. Only one wears a bib: infant Prince Julian (3). This could potentially dethrone his cousin Prince Oscar (8) as the mini-royal. So far, the son of Crown Princess Victoria (46) has been known for his often grumpy facial expressions during public appearances, earning him the nickname "Grumpy Prince."
Unfiltered Vacation Snapshot
"Wishing you all a beautiful summer!", writes the pair on their Instagram account for the private snapshot. The family, consisting of Julian, Prince Alexander (8), and Prince Gabriel (7), seem to be already enjoying the summer season: They are sitting on the picture on a wooden bench in front of a cabin, all wearing short pants and airy T-shirts. While the older boys are smiling coquettishly at the camera, the youngest doesn't seem too enthusiastic about the shooting. Sitting on his mother's lap, he pouts in frustration. Just like with small children.
For Carl Philip and Sofia, however, there seems to be no reason not to publish the image. With this, they join the ranks of modern noble families, whose offspring are allowed to openly display their feelings. In recent years, Julian's cousin Prince Oscar has been observed at events numerous times, not particularly enthusiastic about participating or being photographed. This quickly earned him the title "Grumpy Prince" in the media. And in Great Britain, it's the youngest of Crown Prince William (42) and Kate (42), Prince Louis (6), who frequently pulls faces, makes wild gestures, or shows his displeasure through hearty yawning, indicating that an event is too long and boring for him.
