Sweden’s Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia have just announced that they are expecting their second child. Their first son, Alexander, was born 11 months ago. It looks Prince William and Kate Middleton will have to share the stage with another hot royal couple.
The couple made the announcement with an official statement on the Swedish Royal Court’s website. They said, “We are happy to announce that we are expecting a child, a sibling to Prince Alexander. We are looking forward to welcoming a new little member to our family.”
Carl Philip and Sofia’s son Alexander was born in April of 2016. Even though Princess Sofia isn’t showing a baby bump just yet, they did add that their due date is in September 2017. What’s more, their statement also said that Princess Sofia will continue on with her royal engagements and public appearances during the course of her pregnancy. What’s more, there have been no changes made to Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia’s spring and summer schedule.
Just recently, Princess Sofia opened up about the harsh bullying she endured by her critics online during a special broadcast in association with her foundation. She revealed that critics have bullied her for just about everything, from her marriage to Prince Carl Philip, to her reality television past and even her looks.
So does this mean that Princess Sofia will be making headlines for her pregnancy as well? Will she be scrutinized by the press for the things she says, wears and does? Of course, royal fans will find out soon enough. Back in August of last year, Sofia also wrote a special blog post about how wounds caused by bullying can cause a lifetime of pain. That’s why she’s also urging Sweden’s youth to make a change and hopefully stop Internet bullying once and for all.
But unlike Kate Middleton during her last two pregnancies, Princess Sofia is making it pretty clear that she intends to continue working regardless of what people might say or think of her.
