Since 2013, the Royal Court has released a photo of Princess Estelle dressed in the traditional blue, yellow, and white Swedish costume in celebration of the holiday. The photos released today include one of Estelle cuddling her three month old little brother and one of her playing with sheep in the palace gardens. Another photograph features Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar with their mother, Crown Princess Victoria. The final picture released was of Oscar, being held in his mother’s arms.
