49 centimeters and 3220 grams: Prince Carl Philip and his wife, Princess Sofia, have once again become the parents of a son.
According to a statement from the Swedish royal family, the child was born in the late morning.
"We are delighted to have our third son in the family," said Carl Philip.
The couple and their two big brothers were looking forward to this day.
In a communiqué by Reich Marshal Fredrik Wersäll it was said that mother and son were doing well.
How the little one should be called, according to the announcement from the royal family, will be announced at the weekend.
Carl Philip and Sofia announced in December that they were expecting offspring again.

He has been married to Princess Sofia since 2015.
Her two older sons, Prince Alexander and Prince Gabriel, are four and three years old.
