Just one week ago, Madeleine shared a sweet photograph to her personal Instagram account, showing the princess and her children in Central Park as they enjoyed a trip to New York. 

"9 years later Leonore is back in NYC!" she captioned the family shot.

Princess Leonore was born at Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York on 20 February 2014.

In 2019, it was announced by the Swedish palace that Princess Madeleine and her older brother Prince Carl Philip's children's titles have been dropped. Leonore, Nicolas and Adrienne as well as Carl Philip's three sons Alexander, Gabriel and Julian, are not styled as Royal Highness.

Princess Madeleine posted a statement on her Instagram account at the time, writing: "This change has been planned for a long time. Chris and I think it is good that our children now have a greater opportunity to shape their own lives as individuals in the future."
