Princess Estelle in portrait with mother and grandfather

Princess Estelle of Sweden has posed alongside her mother and in a stunning new portrait.

The five-year-old princess joins her mother Crown Princess Victoria, 40, and grandfather King Carl XVI Gustaf, 71, in the photo representing the future of Sweden’s monarchy. 

The king is, of course, the current ruler with Victoria first in line to the throne and her daughter third in the line of succession.

Standing between her mother and grandfather, Estelle steals the show dressed in a sweet cobalt blue dress with a sky blue peter pan collar.

The charming princess looked especially smart in a pair of black Mary-Jane shoes and a pair of sweet lace ankle socks.

Her blonde hair had been tied back in order for the little girl to showcase her beaming grin. 

Also dressed in blue was Crown Princess Victoria, who looked her elegant best in a floor sweeping pleated gown with high-neck collar.

The mother-of-two could be seen wearing the family order pins and a ceremonial sash as she smiled for the camera.

It was also a rare occasion upon which we see the princess in a tiara, with Victoria wearing the Swedish Aquamarine Kokoshnik Tiara featuring rows of diamonds and aquamarine stones.

Standing proudly behind her is the current monarch and her father King Carl XVI Gustaf.

The grandfather wore white tie as as well as the family order pins and sash, as his daughter has.

The king and Victoria also posed for an individual portrait together as well as the group shot. 

The photos were taken by Thron Ullberg, photographer of the Royal Court in Stockholm on December 10, the day of the Nobel ceremonies, but was released on Tuesday to celebrate 200 years of the Swedish monarchy.
