On February 23, the whole of Sweden’s Princess Estelle turned 10 years old, and true to tradition, Crown Princess Victoria (44) and Prince Daniel (48) shared a brand new birthday picture of the daughter.
The most striking thing about the flash shot of the Swedish princess is how big she has become. The famous Estelle bow in her hair has been replaced with a more youthful weld, and the cute dresses have been put away in favor of a white blazer!
The jacket is also from the Danish Designers Remix, which is a favorite among both young and old in the Danish royal family. But also Crown Princess Victoria, who is generally very good at fronting Scandinavian design, has put her love on the Danish brand.

Equal
The fact that Estelle follows in her mother’s footsteps when it comes to clothes is not surprising. As Swedish Women’s Magazine points out, mother and daughter are equal both in style and appearance.
– The brown eyes. The well-shaped eyebrows. And the smile. Yes, even the ears, they write and continue the description that concludes that Estelle is her mother of days.
Svensk Damtidning also points out that the new birthday photo is strikingly similar to the 40-year-old photos taken by the Crown Princess. They are both dressed in white and wear a simple everyday piece of jewelery, and moreover they are both placed in front of a stately fireplace.
– No, no one can miss the signal in the official photo taken by Princess Estelle ahead of her 10th birthday: She follows in her mother’s footsteps, writes Svensk Damtidning, which follows the Swedish royal family closely.

Another detail that attracts attention is where the photo of the newly-baked ten-year-old was taken. While she has previously been photographed in a safe environment at home at Haga Castle in connection with her birthday, this time the photo was taken at the magnificent Castle in Stockholm.
But then it was, after all, the future queen’s first anniversary!
The princess’s style was very similar to the crown princess’s, but we can not help but notice that the outfit is reminiscent of another birthday princess’s style.
Then our own princess Ingrid Alexandra (18) visited the government In connection with her official day in January, she was also dressed in a minimalist Scandinavian style with a light blazer and matching top underneath.
However, this is not the first time the two princesses have the same style. Estelle has several times appeared in inherited clothes from Ingrid!
The relationship between the two royal houses is known to be very close, something Ingrid Alexandra has expressed that she greatly appreciates:
–
– I am so lucky that I have many heirs of the same age in Europe now, so I hope that we can use each other eventually, the princess said in her interview with NRK in connection with the 18th anniversary.
– We have quite a lot of contact, especially with Sweden and Denmark. We were visiting Victoria and Daniel and Estelle and Oscar this summer, it was very nice, she added.
New dress
In addition to the official photo of Princess Estelle on her 10th birthday, the family also shared one of her with their grandparents taken on the actual birthday.
– At today’s birthday celebration at Haga Castle, the royal couple congratulated Princess Estelle on her 10th birthday, the royal family wrote to the photo on social media.
In the picture with the proud grandparents, King Carl Gustaf (75) and Queen Silvia (78), Estelle wore a brand new dress – and just like the previously mentioned suit jacket, it was from Designers Remix.
In other words, nothing was left to chance when the future queen celebrated her first anniversary!
