Sweden’s Royal Court Releases the First Photo of Princess Ines

Princess Ines is the fourth child and first daughter of Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia

The Swedish Royal Court has released the first photo of Princess Ines, the daughter of Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia. The photo was taken by Princess Sofia. Princess Ines was born on February 7, 2025, at Danderyd Hospital in Stockholm. The baby daughter of Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia has been named Ines. Her full name is Ines Marie Lilian Silvia, and she will be known as Princess Ines of Sweden.

Princess Ines is the fourth child and first daughter of Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia

Princess Ines is the fourth child and first daughter of Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia, and a little sister to Prince Alexander, Prince Gabriel, and Prince Julian. However, following a decision made by the King in 2019, Ines will not hold the HRH title. The King ruled that only his children and the children of his heir, Crown Princess Victoria, would have that status. His other grandchildren, including Ines, remain princes or princesses but without the HRH style.

    Lovely photo of a beautiful baby. Can’t say I love the name but I do respect that it might be a connection to Grandmother Silvia’s Brazilian heritage as Ines is a classic name there and in Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking countries.

      The name could easily be from both places. Unless they announce the reason for the choice, either could be correct.

    4. @anon 00:43, the second name, Marie, comes from Sofia's mother Marie Hellqvist. It can also be that Princess Marie of Denmark will be a godmother, who knows 🤷‍♀️

      The King is dyslexic. He reversed the last two letters. Her name is definitely Ines, not Inse.

      The names was a top secret also to the King until the very minute he entered the meeting for the reveal. Also due to his dyslexia he said Inse instead of Ines 🌸

      Every name is beautiful not boring. Sometimes names are changed (made shorter or translated) by the parents or family or friends later.
      I like the name Inés, just as I like the Swedish equivalent Agneta.

      I don't understand why there is so many comments about the baby's name, Ines, Inse, Agnes, Agneta where it comes from, Brazil, Spain, etc. please ladies, stop your silly comments, it is stupid and none of our business. She is her precious little girl and I wish them many happy memories together.

      I agree with @anon 10:53 mjt. It is rude to express dislike of a baby's name. She is a beautiful and healthy baby. That is what is important. We all need to remember how we would feel if strangers were treating our new baby this way.

      Ines is used in a lot of countries, with slightly differing ortography (Ines or Inés in Spanish or even Inez elsewhere). It is not really the same as Agneta or Agnes, but it is said to originate in Latin 'agnus', or else in Greek 'hagnos'. So it is not of Spanish origin, it is just more popular in Spanish speaking countries, but is well used in other countries as well, e.g. Germany (where they have Ines and Agnes too).

    Just my contribution.
    When I was a college student, I was taught that Germanic languages- including Swedish- are normally accented on the first or radical syllable.
    This is called rhyzotonic accent.
    It would take longer to make an outline, so I just want to sum it all up
    That's why Ines should be pronuonced with the stress on the first syllable.
    This baby girl is marvellous and adorable.
    My congratulations on such joyous event.

    2. You're absolutely right. Regardless of the origin of the name. Ines is a female name that has been used in Sweden for a very long time. In Swedish it's pronounced Eeness.

      My comment did not mention the Spanish origin but how Ines should be pronuonced in a Germanic language such as Swedish.
      The origin of a word/ name and how it is pronuonced in a target language are quite different things.
      In most cases, sounds are re- elaborated to adjust to the stress pattern of a target language.
      As I said, It would take much longer to be explained.
      A native Swedish speaker might choose to use the Spanish pronounciation as well.

    It has been said and confirmed that Inés is a Spanish name. So it must be pronounced like in Spanish and written like in Spanish with an accent. It is as simple as that.

      Not quite as simple, as the natural Swedish pronunciation is differently accented than the Spanish. So she will be ee-nes or ee-nyes, not i-nes, accent first syllable.

      Anon 14:26: No, I am sorry it is not as simple as that. Take "Maria(/Mary/Marie/Mária" or "Eva/Eve" or "Susan/Zsuzsa/Susanna/Shoshana" etc. - you cannot simply declare the country with the most frquent usage to be the country of origin. Some names are an international good, mostly originating in Latin or Greek or Hebrew. Ines is simply one of them.
