On April 30, local time, a report with a rather interesting name appeared in the British "Daily Mail": "Beyond Prince Louis!..." The protagonist of the report is the 3-year-old Swedish Prince Julian. At his grandfather's 78th birthday celebration, he made faces and covered his ears. The Post commented that the handsome 3-year-old prince stole the show even more than Louis.
On April 30, the Swedish royal family held a grand birthday celebration for King Carl XVI Gustaf to celebrate the king's 78th birthday. Prince Carl Philip, his wife Princess Sofia and their three children stood on the balcony of the Royal Palace in Stockholm.
Julian, the youngest of three children, celebrated his third birthday last month. At first, the little prince stood in front of his mother, quite well-behaved. Sometimes he waved to the people, sometimes he opened his mouth and shouted excitedly. But later, the little prince became a little impatient. He made faces for a while, and then covered his face again. This made him the focus of the media's lens that day, stealing the limelight from the 78-year-old king's grandfather.
This also led the "Post" to compare Julian with Britain's Prince Louis.
Little Prince Louis just celebrated his 7th birthday last week. In 2022, when Louis was 4 years old, he behaved similarly to Julian.
At that time, little Prince Louis stood on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to attend the 50th anniversary celebrations of the late Queen Elizabeth II. When the plane flew over Buckingham Palace, little Louis stood next to the Queen's great-grandmother, covered his ears with his hands, closed his eyes and shouted, "Great-grandmother" Smiling lovingly on the side, the picture is cute and warm.
Prince Louis and his family are still the focus of global media. April 29 was the wedding anniversary of Louis' parents, Prince William, Prince of Wales, and Princess Kate. The two shared a black-and-white wedding photo through their Instagram account, which caused controversy. Many people believed that the black-and-white photo had a bad connotation.
Both are little princes, but Louis' fate is different from Julian's.
Prince William, the father of Prince Louis, and Prince Carl Philip, the father of Prince Julian, are both the eldest sons of the king, but their royal roles are different.
When Prince Carl Philip was born, as the eldest son of the king, he naturally became the crown prince according to Swedish law. However, soon, Sweden changed the relevant laws and stipulated that the king's eldest child (whether male or female) would become the crown prince. Therefore, Philip The prince's sister, Princess Victoria, became the Crown Princess and the future Queen of Sweden.
Prince Carl Philip and his wife Sofia have three children. In addition to Julian, there are also 7-year-old Prince Alexander and 6-year-old Prince Brielle.
In 2019, the Swedish royal family began to streamline. King Carl XVI Gustaf announced that the children of Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia and the sons of Philip's sister Princess Madeleine will no longer have the title of His Royal Highness. They will still have the title of Royal Highness. They retain their titles as prince and princess but no longer have access to taxpayer funds.
After the news was announced, Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Philip showed no resistance, saying that it would allow their children to have more freedom when they grow up.
But when asked if she would consider quitting royal life (like Meghan), Princess Sofia replied that no, she believed that she had found a "wonderful balance" between her personal life and royal responsibilities. "These The turbulent years are positive," "They have the opportunity to gain a foothold in both worlds, which is a huge advantage."
The Swedish royal family is known as the most beautiful royal family in the world. On the same day, Princess Victoria, her husband and children also attended the ceremony.
