Madeleine of Sweden shares adorable snaps of Princess Adrienne’s

She made her entrance to the world just last week but the littlest member of the Swedish royal family is already amassing a legion of fans. 

Doting mother Princess Madeleine, 35, has just joined Instagram and couldn’t resist the opportunity to post a selection of sweet snaps to mark Princess Adrienne’s first week.

A sweet image shows the little one slumbering sweetly while another shows her tiny feet poking out from beneath a pink blanket. 

Her first snap on the photo sharing site, was a photo of her older children Princess Leonore and Prince Nicholas bonding with the newest member of the family.

The princess’s full name was officially announced last week by her grandfather King Carl XVI Gustaf in a Council of State meeting, who revealed she will be known as Adrienne Josephine Alice, the Duchess of Blekinge.

Princess Madeleine, 35, and her husband Chris O’Neill chose Adrienne as it’s a name they love. 

Josephine is a traditional moniker in Madeleine’s family and is also her fourth name, while Alice is the name of Adrienne’s great-grandmother, Alice Sommerlath, the mother of Queen Silvia.

Princess Adrienne was the third royal baby to arrive in the space of two weeks, when she was born at Danderyd Hospital in Stockholm in the early hours of Friday morning.

In a statement, the Swedish Royal Court described the newborn as ‘a healthy child’ and said that ‘mother and baby are doing well’.

Princess Madeleine met her husband after fleeing to the US in 2010 with a broken heart.

She crossed the Atlantic following the breakdown of her first engagement to Swedish attorney Jonas Bergstrom amid speculation that he had cheated on her.

Madeleine became known as Sweden’s party princess during her early 20s, when she was frequently spotted at Stockholm’s high-end nightclubs.

Countless column inches were also devoted to Madeleine’s stylish wardrobe and glamorous lifestyle, but she now focuses on royal duties and raising her children.
