A proud uncle and soon to be father Prince Carl-Philip attended the Cabinet meeting.

Later in the afternoon, The Royal Chapel  in Stockholm held a Te Deum service in honor of the birth newborn Prince Oscar Carl Olof, Duke of Skane.  Dad and elder sister Crown Prince Daniel, Princess Estelle, together with grandparents King Carl XVI Gustaf, Queen Silvia as well as Olle and Ewa Westling were present. Aunts and Uncles Princess Madeleine, Christopher O'Neill, Anna Westling Söderström, Prince Carl Philip and a very pregnant Princess Sofia were in attendance. Other family members present were Folke Bernadotte, Princess Christina Mrs. Magnuson,(The Te Deum is an early Christian hymn of praise. (Latin: God, We Praise You), Latin hymn to God the Father and Christ the Son, traditionally sung on occasions of public rejoicing.)

Meaning of Name
Oscar: The name Oscar is also further back in the Bernadotte family ranks. Oscar I, who ruled between 1844 and 1859, as well as Oscar II, who was king of Sweden between the years 1872 and in 1907. But there's actually already an Oscar in the Bernadotte family history. It is Oscar Bernadotte(who was present at the Te Deum service), 94, who is the little brother to the family's grand old lady Dagmar von Arbin. Dagmar and Oscis is the child of Prince Carl. Another relative named Oscar is Oscar Magnuson, son of Princess Christina and Tord Magnuson.

Carl: The name Carl just as Oscar is also a further back in the Bernadotte Family. Just like him, the first Duke of Scania was a Prince Carl (who later became King Karl XV of Sweden and Norway). The name also pays tribute to his grand father King Carl XVI Gustaf and uncle Prince Carl-Philip

Olof: From my guess is taken from his father Crown Prince Daniel who first name is Olof. But just like his previous names Olof has ties in the Bernadotte family ranks
