Prince Oscar of Sweden has turned seven.
As is tradition, the Swedish Royal Court released new images of the royal to mark his birthday.
Two photos taken by Linda Broström were released of the Prince at his family’s home at Haga Palace.
In one photograph, Prince Oscar is seen smiling with his family’s dog, Rio, while he is seen with his older sister, Princess Estelle, in the other image.
The photos released were taken on the same day that Princess Estelle’s birthday photograph was taken. Estelle turned 11 in February.
Oscar is the third of four of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia’s grandchildren to have birthdays within a few weeks of each other. Princess Leonore, his cousin, marked her ninth birthday on 22 February; Princess Estelle turned 11 on 23 February. His cousin, Princess Adrienne, will celebrate her fifth birthday on 9 March.
Oscar, who is third in the Swedish line of succession, is the younger child of Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel.
He enrolled at Campus Manilla in Stockholm last autumn, joining his big sister at the school. In Sweden, children do not begin compulsory education until the school year when they will turn seven.
Prince Oscar Carl Olof was born in Karolinska University Hospital on 2 March 2016 – just a month before his maternal first cousin, Prince Alexander (b. 19 April 2016). His grandfather bestowed the title Duke of Skåne on his grandson after his birth.
