Princess Estelle is all grown up in 11th birthday photo

Princess Estelle of Sweden is all grown up in the new photo shared by the Swedish Royal Family for her 11th birthday.

The future Queen of Sweden was photographed this month in her family’s home at Haga Palace by Linda Broström.

Estelle, who looks strongly like her mother, Crown Princess Victoria, is wearing a dainty necklace similar to one that the Crown Princess was seen wearing when she was around the same age. There’s also a glimpse of her newly pierced ears.

The Princess celebrated her birthday privately with her family.

Princess Estelle is second in line to the Swedish throne after her mother.

Princess Estelle is the elder child of Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel and the oldest grandchild of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden. She was born on 23 February 2012 in Karolinska University Hospital, and her birth was greeted with 21-gun salutes.

She has one younger brother, Prince Oscar, who will celebrate his seventh birthday in a little over a week.

Since August 2018, the Princess has attended school at Campus Manila School.
