Princess Estelle's birthday: like never seen before

It's never happened before! On Princess Estelle's birthday, private pictures of the twelve-year-old hit Instagram. They capture her and the royal family on a skiing trip, featuring various pictures and clips of Princess Estelle and her brother, Prince Oscar (7), enjoying the snow.

This breaks tradition for the Swedish royals, who typically share portrait photos for birthdays. The refreshing video adds a more approachable vibe to the royal family.

Princess Victoria (46) and Prince Daniel (50) occasionally treat us to adorable snapshots of their kids. But this latest clip of Princess Estelle takes the cake.

This year, Princess Estelle's birthday holds extra significance. Until recently, her parents were tied up with important engagements in the USA. However, they're expected back in Sweden just in time for Estelle's birthday bash. No doubt, the young princess will be overjoyed.

As the second in line to the Swedish throne, Princess Estelle is being gently groomed for her future role as Queen after her mother, Victoria.
