Princess Madeleine and her family looked picture-perfect in a photograph released by the Swedish royal palace to mark her 42nd birthday on Monday.
The portrait, originally taken last September, showed the Swedish royal with her husband and financier, Christopher O'Neill, and their three children, Princess Leonore, ten, Prince Nicolas, eight, and Princess Adrienne, six.
Christopher and son Nicolas match in dark suits with blue patterned ties, while Princess Madeleine wore a powder blue peplum-style dress with a pleated hem, twinning with her daughters, who also wore blue outfits, all by Self- Portrait.
The palace also announced that the family-of-five are moving back to Stockholm in Sweden, after living in Florida in the US for the past six years.

According to reports, Madeleine and Christopher sold their seven-bedroom Florida mansion for nearly $7 million. The 7,000 sq ft. property also features eight bathrooms and a heated saltwater outdoor pool.
Since tying the knot in 2013, the princess and her husband have lived in Stockholm, New York, London and Florida, with their eldest daughter, Leonore, having been born at Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York on 20 February 2014.

Royal children's future
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.
