Swedish royal family look incomparable in their new glitzy official portraits

Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and her daughter Estelle looked radiant in new ultra-glamorous official portraits shared online this week. 

The Swedish royal family launched a new website which features newly-shot portraits of the entire family in ball-gowns and glittering tiaras. 

 The photographs, which include snaps of Victoria, 44, Estelle, 11, and Princess Sofia, 37, were taken by Linda Broström of the Royal Court.

The Crown Princess, 44, was the picture of elegance in grey and white opulent gown which featured a drop shoulder design.

It was embellished by numerous brooches which donned pearls and a chic pale blue bow.

Her glitzy tiara, which is called the Napoleonic Cut-Steel tiara, was passed down from Queen Josefina.   

Princess Sofia, 37, oozed glamour in a floral full length gown which featured long sleeves and a cinched waist. 

Sofia, the wife of Prince Carl Philip, wore the Palmette Tiara, which was a wedding gift from King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia. 

Alongside individual portraits, the royals posed for a group-shot, which included Queen Silvia and King Carl XVI Gustaf (pictured, l-r Princess Sofia ,Queen Silvia ,Prince Carl Philip ,King Carl XVI Gustaf, Princess Madeleine, Princess Estelle ,Prince Daniel, Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Oscar)

The Queen looks poised in a beaded floor length gown which features many elegant brooches. 

She wore the aforementioned Swedish Cameo Tiara which features seven Napoleonic cameos encircled with pearls. 

Meanwhile Princess Madeleine, 39, looked incredible in a pale pink floral ensemble which featured a sheer neckline. 

Her diamond tiara was a wedding gift to her from her mother, who was given it by her husband in the 1980s.

King Gustaf has sat on the Swedish throne since 1973 when he succeeded his late father, Gustaf VI Adolf.

He married the German-born Silvia Sommerlath, now 75, in 1976 after meeting her when she was a hostess at the 1972 Olympics.

In 1980, a law was passed which abolished male preference in the line of succession.

That means Crown Princess Victoria, rather than her eldest brother Carl Philip, is the heir apparent to the throne.

She is expected to become Sweden’s first female monarch since the 18th century.

In 2019, the king passed a law to remove the children of Prince Carl Philip and Princess Madeleine from the Royal Household.

The monarch made the controversial decision, following the launch of an investigation by the Swedish parliament – the Riksdag – into how the £12million annual budget of the generally popular royal family could be kept under control. 

The five youngsters stripped of their royal titles, aged between one and five, are the offspring of the King’s two younger children, Prince Carl Philip and Princess Madeleine, and their respective partners. 

As a result, they are not directly in line to the throne and Princess Madeleine – mother to Princess Leonore; Prince Nicolas, and Princess Adrienne – said they would now have ‘a greater opportunity to shape their own lives’.

Also affected are Prince Alexander, and Prince Gabriel, who are the children of Prince Carl Philip and his wife Sofia Hellqvist.
