Royal fans go wild over adorable snap of Prince Carl Philip of Sweden with his two sons

Royal fans have been going wild over an adorable picture of Prince Carl Philip of Sweden with his two young sons as they celebrate the country’s Father Day. 

In the snap, which was shared on the royal’s official Instagram page, Prince Carl Philip of Sweden, 40, can be seen crouching down on the floor with his two young sons, Alexander and Gabriel.

Royal fans were quick to go wild over the social media post, with one commenting: ‘My heart.’ 

Sweden’s real-life Prince Charming, broke the hearts of royal-watchers across the globe when he announced his engagement to former glamour model Sofia Hellqvist in 2014, four years after news of their relationship first hit headlines. 

The couple welcomed their first son, Prince Alexander, in April 2016 and another little boy, Prince Gabriel, arrived in August the following year. 

The royals shared the snap as they celebrated Sweden’s Fathers Day with Alexander, Duke of Södermanland, three, and his younger brother Gabriel, Duke of Dalarna, two,  

The blonde haired toddlers can be seen peering into the darkness of a garden, while Prince Carl Philip gently crouches down next to them.

The prince, who is the only son of the king and queen of Sweden and fourth-in-line to the throne, was casually dressed in the intimate family snap. 

He dressed down in a pair of casual jeans, and grey knitted jumper, pairing the outfit with smart dusk grey desert boots.  

Royal fans went wild over the post, which was posted alongside two purple heart emojis and the hashtag #farsdag.

Royal fans went wild online over the snaps, with many calling the trio ‘handsome’ and suggesting the picture was ‘so cute’ 

Another wrote: ‘Handsome father and boys!’ while a third added: ‘Oh my heart!’ 

The celebration is the first for the family since Alexander and Gabriel were stripped off their royal status in October. 

The children, alongside Princess Madeleine’s three children, will not be expected to perform royal duties as adults as they are not directly in line to the throne.  

The five children will still be members of the royal family, but will not be referred to as His or Her Royal Highness and will not have access to taxpayer funds.
