At 4:26am local time, Crown Princess Victoria delivered a healthy baby girl. The newborn Princess weighed 3.2 kilograms and was 51 centimeters long.

Proud father Prince Daniel spoke to the media at Karolinska Hospital, saying everything has been great. “It is a very pretty princess,” he said.

“My feelings are a bit all over the place. Well, when I came down from the room, the little princess was laying on her mother’s chest, and it looked like they were having a very cosy time, so it was hard to take my eyes off them.”

Daniel also admitted being nervous during the birth. “It’s a new situation, something you never experienced before. It is always subject to certain risks when to redeem a child but it has gone very well.”

At the same time, the Prince asked for some privacy. “As I am sure you can all understand, we have a great need just to be with our own little family right now. You understand that surely, that we want to treasure what has just happened.”

At noon, a salute of 42 shots will be heard throughout Sweden, while church bells will toll.

Prince Carl Philip and his girlfriend, Sofia Hellqvist, released a statement, saying: “We are overjoyed on their behalf and (we) wish Daniel and Victoria a big congratulation and bid the little daughter welcome to this world. I’m looking very much forward to meeting her and getting to know her.”
