Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia make their official Instagram account public and invite fans to take a look at Swedish royal life
The Swedish royals are unlike others when it comes to social media. While the British royals are still not convinced about having a social media page, Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia think it is a great way to communicate and connect with people across the globe.
Until earlier this month, Prince Carl Philip and his wife Princess Sofia kept their Instagram private leaving it to our imagination to construct what their life would look like. However, with a sudden change of heart, the two have made their account public and just as we thought, it consists of pictures of the couple that have been taken during their visits along with their candid pictures.
“Welcome to our official Instagram account. As you can see, we have already posted photos for a while to give you an insight into our work, the tasks we carry out and above all the issues we are passionate about,” the pair captioned a picture which they clicked on May 12. “Hope you want to follow us!”
The account dates back to June 2017 and gives us a glimpse into the life they lead. While some of the pictures showcase the official portraits, others make us believe that they are no different from us. The sweet pair manages to show their loving side as partners and parents in the photos that they have chosen to upload on their official Instagram @princsparet.
At the same time, the couple does not hesitate to share pictures of their kids, Alexander, 2, and Gabriel, 8 months. They take pride in posting pictures of their son and showing us the normal side of their otherwise busy life. In an interview with Swedish magazine Kupé, the couple could not stop admiring their kids. “Gabriel and Alexander are still so small, but it’s so exciting to follow their development,” Prince Carl said. “It’s great to be part of their journey.”
“We try to create as much family time as possible in the evenings, with bathing and getting into a nighttime routine," Princess Sofia added. While the family has a lot more to share with the public, it is great to see that they want the public to be a part of their journey as well.
