Crown Princess Victoria’s Baby – The Countdown Begins!

In about a month, Sweden – and royal fans everywhere – will celebrate the birth of Crown Princess Victoria’s first child. The baby will be second in line to the throne and will usher in a new generation of Swedish royals.

But is the anticipated birth really only a month away? The Swedish Court has long said March, but the Crown Princess seems to disagree.

“It’s so close now,” Victoria told Aftonbladet after visiting the Centre for Business and Policy Studies yesterday with husband Prince Daniel.

“One doesn’t know. Sure, it will be at the end of February, turn of the month to March. But I mean, one doesn’t know what it means. It could come now. It could come later.”

One thing for sure, when the newborn comes into the world, it’s grandpa, King Carl XVI Gustaf, will have the first official photo. Photography is the King’s hobby and he took many pictures of his three children as they grew up. It’s pretty certain that he will do the same for his grandchildren.

The Crown Princess praised her parents for their support during her first pregnancy.

“They have been a very big support,” she said. “But I’ve been nervous and I don’t know how one fully prepares to become a parent. I think that being able to give a security is among the most important things one can do for one’s child. It’s something we will definitely try our utmost to do. To build a foundation as good as possible.”

So, whether it’s a month or a week away, sooner or later, Sweden is going to have a new royal baby!
