Princess Sofia debuted a new hair colour as she and Prince Carl Philip attended the opening of the Swedish Parliament on Tuesday.
The 41-year-old Swedish royal's locks now look dramatically darker, with Sofia opting to grow out the blonde highlights she sported over the summer.
The mother-of-four is embracing warmer dark chocolate tones for the autumn/winter season ahead, having frequently experimented with balayage and ombre highlights.

Family time
When they're not carrying out official royal engagements, Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia love to spend time with their four young children.
The couple, who married at Slottskyrkan in Stockholm on 13 June 2015, are parents to Prince Alexander, ten, Prince Gabriel, nine, Prince Julian, five, and one-year-old Princess Ines.

Crown Princess Victoria is the heir to the throne, with her children, Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar, second and third in the line of succession.
