Congratulations are in order for Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Philip of Sweden who welcomed their fourth child on Friday.
The Swedish princess, 40, glowed as she was seen leaving the maternity ward at Danderyds Hospital in Stockholm having stayed overnight. The new mother, who welcomed a baby girl, beamed alongside her husband who carried their bundle of joy in a carrier as they headed towards a car.
