King Carl XVI Gustaf has apologised after announcing the wrong name for his new baby granddaughter.
The Swedish monarch caused confusion at a council meeting on Monday as he stated that Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia's daughter will be known as Princess INSE Marie Lilian Silvia, Duchess of Västerbotten.
However, shortly afterwards, the palace released a statement with the correct name listed as Princess INES.

King Carl later issued an apology via the royal court's head of information, Margareta Thorgren, who told Swedish magazine, Svensk Damtidning: "The King is very sorry that he said the wrong name. The reason he said the wrong name is that the names were kept secret until just before the council, even from the King."

The couple waved and smiled at the media as they left the hospital on Saturday with their new bundle of joy, whose face was not visible in her car seat.

The Swedish royals attended a Te Deum (a special church service) for the new princess on Monday, including Prince Carl Philip and his three sons, Prince Alexander, eight, Prince Gabriel, seven, and Prince Julian, three.

King Carl and Queen Silvia headed up the family at the service, with Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel, and Princess Madeleine and Christopher O'Neill also in attendance.
Princess Ines, who is eighth in line to the throne, is the ninth grandchildren for King Carl and Queen Silvia.
