The British royals may be famous for their annual holiday card photos, but when it comes to seasonal photography, the Swedish royals are all about summertime.

It's become something a tradition for the Swedish royal family to share a group photo in celebration of the summer. This weekend, Prince Carl Philip and his wife Princess Sofia carried on the tradition, posting a photo on their official Instagram account of the two of them with their three children: Prince Alexander, Prince Gabriel, and Prince Julian.

"Our family wishes you all a wonderful summer!" reads a translation of the caption on the post, which features a loving picture of the royal couple and their sons among a field of daisies.

Carl Philip is the only son and middle child of King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden, and the younger brother of Crown Princess Victoria. While they might not be as well known to Americans as the British royals, the Swedish royal family has strong ties to many of the other royal families of Europe, including the Brits—in fact, King Carl Gustaf is descended from Queen Victoria, just like Queen Elizabeth.

The new summer photo isn't the only recent glimpse we've gotten of the Swedish royals. In May, the family released a new set of official portraits of the working royals in state dress, showing off some of their most glamorous tiaras and gems. Princess Sofia also made a splash this spring when she made some modifications to her wedding tiara for an event at the Royal Castle in Stockholm.
