The Swedish royal family was out in full force on Thursday to mark their country’s National Day. Since 1983, Sweden has celebrated its National Day on June 6. The date coincides with two important events in the country’s history — King Gustav Vasa's coronation in 1523 and the adoption of a new constitution in 1809. In celebration of the holiday, the royal family opens the doors of the palace to the public and local musicians and artists perform throughout the day at various events. As in previous years, the Swedish Royal court also released new portraits of future Queen, Princess Estelle, and her younger brother Prince Oscar.

This year, Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia had the honor of opening the royal palace's gates in Stockholm. Writing on their personal social media account, the couple, who are parents to Prince Alexander and Prince Gabriel, penned, "Happy national day from us! 🇸🇪."
In honor of Sweden's National Day, the royal court shared three new images of Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel's children, Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar. The sweet sibling duo posed for photos at their home in the gardens of Haga Palace.
For the annual photo, the seven-year-old Princess wore her traditional blue, yellow, and white folk dress, while sweeping her golden locks up into a ponytail. Meanwhile, Estelle's little brother, three, sported a blue button-down shirt and dark shorts for the photo session.
