Carl Philip and Sofia of Sweden: This is how tall Alexander and Gabriel have become

What's it actually like at home with the royals, away from the public eye and without photographers? Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia of Sweden have been sharing their life as royals, but also as parents and a normal couple, on their public Instagram account since May 2018.

While many royal families use the platform to publish selected pictures, more and more royals are also becoming active on the platform themselves and providing more private insights away from public events. This includes Carl Philip's sister Madeleine of Sweden, who regularly inspires with sweet family photos or beautiful snapshots from her childhood.

Carl Philip & Sofia open up their private photo album

Since spring 2018, Carl Philip and his Sofia have been doing the same and opening their very private family album to the world. And we are beside ourselves with excitement. In addition to pictures from official events, the handsome couple also show us sweet snapshots of their two sons Alexander and Gabriel as well as casual vacation snaps and selfies - in love as ever.

Insight into the life of the Swedish royals

The couple greeted their fans around the world with a picture together in casual clothes and wrote the following heartfelt words:

Welcome to our official Instagram account. As you can see, we've been posting photos for a while to give you an insight into our work, our tasks and, above all, our passion. We hope you like to follow us!

This is how big Alexander & Gabriel have grown
