Princess Sofia makes first appearance since announcing pregnancy
Princess Sofia made her first appearance since announcing her second pregnancy on Thursday, March 23. The expectant mom looked regal stepping out in a full-length red wine-colored gown for the first official dinner of the year at Sweden’s Royal Palace of Stockholm. Prince Alexander’s mom completed her look sweeping her brunette tresses back with an elegant tiara.
Sofia was accompanied to the dinner by her dapper husband Prince Carl Philip. King Carl Gustaf, Queen Silvia, Crown Princess Victoria — who dazzled in a green gown and tiara — and Prince Daniel were also in attendance for the event that included guests that the royal family had met while traveling.

Earlier in the day, the Swedish Royal Court announced that Sofia and Carl were expecting their second child together. "We are happy to announce that we are expecting a child, a sibling to Prince Alexander. We are looking forward to welcoming a new little member to our family," the couple said in a statement. The royals's impending bundle of joy is due this September and will join big brother, Prince Alexander, who was born last April.

The pair’s second child will mark the sixth grandchild for Queen Silvia and King Carl XVI Gustaf. Aside from Sofia and Carl’s young son Alexander, the monarchs are also grandparents to daughter Crown Princess Victoria’s children Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar, in addition to Princess Madeleine’s kids Princess Leonore and Prince Nicolas.
