Gustaf has always had a love for fast cars and apparently passed it on to his son Carl Philip.

The prince drives races himself and celebrated some successes in motor sports under his real name Carl Philip Bernadotte.

Just last year, the Royal took part in the Porsche Carrera Cup Scandinavia.

The 42-year-old is already introducing his three sons Alexander (5), Gabriel (4) and Julian (11 months) to his great passion.

The boys were allowed to visit their father together with their mother Sofia (37) at the race track in Mantorp and take a look into the pit lane.
