It seems we’re all fascinated by the strange and lavish lives led by today’s royals.
One of the young members of the Swedish aristocracy is Her Royal Highness Princess Estelle.
Estelle is the daughter of Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel.
But she seems to be up for the challenge.
As a member of the royal family, Estelle had millions of people excited for her birth.
As the first child of Crown Princess Victoria, she was born into the Swedish line of succession.
Along with the title of Her Royal Highness, the king named the young princess the Duchess of Ostergotland.
“Nobody in the royal family has gone there before; it’s a relatively new school.”
Unfortunately, it got her into a bit of trouble when she was 7.
The royal went on a family trip to the Alps, where she had a skiing accident.
She had to wear a cast and walk with crutches until it healed.
Due to the royal family’s frequent ski trips, Estelle learned her way around the slopes quickly.
But even experienced skiers can sustain injuries, and that’s exactly what happened to her.
Fortunately, Princess Estelle received positive responses for her eighth birthday portrait.
Her Royal Highness truly looked like the perfect princess in the photos.
In the caption of the post, they wrote, “Today Princess Estelle turns 8!”
Being royal didn’t keep Princess Estelle or her family from experiencing the effects of the pandemic.
Just like so many other students, she was unable to finish the 2020 school year as normal.
The crown’s spokesperson Margareta Thorgren assured the public that Princess Estelle did not test positive for the virus.
The pandemic caused a tumultuous school year for the 8-year-old as well as many other students and teachers.
The holiday is celebrated in Sweden with songs, food, and pageantry on December 13 each year.
The following photos in the post come from the same holiday celebrated in 1984.
They’re of a young Crown Princess Victoria getting ready for Lucia Day along with her siblings.
In the archival photos, the queen is attaching candles to Princess Victoria’s head.
Estelle wears a very similar dress in the 2021 photos.
In the childhood photos, Victoria looks like she could be her daughter’s twin.
It’s erase the princess is taking after her mother.
Even the lateQueen Elizabeth II was seen wearing the same outfit twice in one month.
The royals made it even more sustainable by putting it to good use twice.
The green gown was likely altered to fit the princess as she is still smaller than her mother.
But, stepping into Victoria’s recent hand-me-downs is another sign of how quickly the royal is growing up.
To show their appreciation for Denmark’s friendship, they attended Prince Christian’s 18th birthday in December 2023.
The occasion was no casual birthday bash but instead a glamorous royal gala with many powerful families in attendance.
Princess Estelle was 11 at the time and attended the birthday along with her parents.
The Instagram fan account @princessestelleofsweden sharedseveral photosof the Swedish princess from the night of the birthday celebration.
The post also featured her little brother Prince Oscar and the adorable family dog on the trip.
“Big CONGRATULATIONS on your birthday,” one user commented on the post.
“It’s so much fun to follow the lovely princess.
She takes after her mother and will be a fantastic queen of Sweden one day.”
In March of 2024, the princess was photographed visiting an art exhibition with her father Prince Daniel.
Wearing a neutral turtleneck with her hair down and delicate earrings, Estelle looked quite sophisticated for her age.
She looks way beyond her years!
And other followers were quick to point out how much the princess is starting to look like her mother.
Both Princess Victoria and Princess Estelle had on pale-blue button-down shirt dresses with a fabric belt at the waist.
Estelle’s dress was slightly shorter, cutting off above the knees.
Along with the dress, the mother-daughter duo wore practically identical sandals.
Though she’s still a tween, Estelle is already learning the importance of diplomacy.
In 2024, she helped greet the Danish royal family when they came to Sweden for a State visit.
The Danish and Swedish royal families have a strong relationship dating back generations.
In fact, today’s royals are close family friends.
Queen Mary of Denmark is one of Princess Estelle’s godparents.
