Royal Wishes for New Swedish Princess

A weekend of celebration has gone by in honor of Sweden's newest little princess, the unnamed daughter of Princess Madeline and Chris O'Neill, who was born last Thursday (February 20, 2014). For one, I ate plenty of Prinsesstårta (Swedish Princess Cake…we'll learn how to make this cake on this blog…). 

The Kungahuset (Swedish Royal House) published royal congratulatory messages for their newest member. Here's what the Bernadottes (i.e. of the Swedish house of Bernadotte) had to say:


"We know today both happiness and warm thanks; our joy is great! We wish Princess Madeleine and Christopher peace and rest as they take advantage of this unique time with their little daughter."
King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia (royal grandparents, parents of Madeleine)

"We are all very excited that Madeleine and Christopher have become parents. We look forward to seeing our newest little girl, especially Estelle, who is very curious about her new cousin. We wish them good luck!"
Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Carl Philip (aunt and uncle, brother and sister of Madeleine)
