Alongside the picture, the Royal Court wrote: “Today, Wednesday 2 March, HRH Prince Oscar turns 6 years old. Before his birthday, the Prince was photographed by the Crown Princess.”
One Instagram user commented that Oscar “looks exactly like Estelle!!” The Prince, who is third in line to the Swedish throne, turned six exactly one week after his big sister celebrated her tenth birthday on Feb. 23. A new portrait of Estelle, as well as a photo of her with her maternal grandparents, King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia , was released to mark her milestone birthday.

“It has come to our attention that there is an extensive negative rumor being spread regarding our private relationship. Allegations are spread about betrayal in the relationship and an impending divorce,” they said (translated to English).
“Normally we do not comment on rumors and speculation,” Victoria and Daniel continued. “But in order to protect our family, we wish to make it clear, once and for all, that the rumors that are now spreading are completely baseless.”
