Happy birthday, Prince Nicolas! Princess Madeleine and Christopher O'Neill’s only son turned four on Saturday, June 15. To mark the special occasion, the Swedish royals treated fans to new photos of the cyan-eyed boy. One was sweetly shared by Madeleine with the note: "Happy Birthday sweet Nicolas! Turning 4 years today!" Another take from the same photoshoot was released more officially by the Swedish Royal Court. What has us the most impressed is the fact that these portraits were taken by none-other-than momma Madeleine herself!

The Swedish Royal Court credited their 37-year-old princess with the photos, immediately linking her in our mind to another royal 37-year-old that we all love: Kate Middleton! As royal fans may know, Kate is quite the accomplished photographer herself.

The Duchess of Cambridge has broken royal tradition over the years, by sharing her personal photos with the world. We have all been baffled by the stunning composition of each picture she captures, relishing in her talent. In early 2017, the Royal Photographic Society, a charity that promotes the art and supports photographers, recognized the shutterbug’s artistic flair with a lifetime honorary membership.
