The Swedish throne - is one today
Her parents are Princess Madeleine, 32, and Christopher
O'Neill, 40
Mr O'Neill, a British businessman, married the princess in
June 2013
She might be just one year old but Sweden's Princess
Leonore, who celebrates her first birthday today, is well on her way to
emulating her mother's stellar sense of style.
New photos of the toddler, which were released to mark her
big day, show her perched in a gilt-edged arm chair and wearing a delicate
rose-pink dress.
Her besotted mother, 32-year-old Princess Madeleine,
captioned the pictures: 'Leonore, our little sunshine turns 1 year old today!'
Leonore's birthday comes at the start of a busy year for the
Swedish royals, with 2015 set to include a royal wedding and the arrival of a
little brother or sister for the one-year-old.
In December, Madeleine, who is fourth-in-line to the Swedish
throne, announced she was expecting a second child with her husband, British
businessman Christopher O'Neill.
Speaking in a statement released by the Sveriges Kungahus,
or Swedish Royal Court, the parents-to-be said they were 'very happy' and
looking forward to the birth.
Unlike Princess Leonore, who was born in New York's Weill
Cornell Medical Center, the new baby will be born in Stockholm following her
parents' move to the city last summer.
The birth is likely to coincide with another big royal event, the wedding of Madeleine's older brother, Prince Carl Philip, 35, on the 13th June.
