Princess Madeleine and family joins Her parents at the Alps

Duke of Angermanland

It was already known that she was on holiday in the Swiss Alps at the beginning of 2017. But Princess Madeleine of Sweden confirmed this information and in the most beautiful way. The young 34 year old mother and youngest of Their Majesties's children posted on Tuesday, January 10th on her Facebook account four pictures of her children that appear to have been taken during their Swiss stay. These are accompanied by a little new year wishes from her little ones Leonore and Nicolas: "A very Happy New Year to you all from Leonore & Nicolas!" (A very happy new year For all of you on behalf of Leonore and Nicolas).

On one of the photographs, 18 months old Prince Nicolas Duke of Angermanland, standing on a wooden balcony, in an anorak and wearing a bonnet, against a backdrop of snow-capped peaks. Another picture shows the little boy, in ski suit, sitting in the snow, a wide smile illuminating his face. A photo that puts another to his older sister, Princess Leonore, 2 years and 10 months, in the same situation. Not jealous, the girl is also entitled to a second shot, this time inside. We see her drinking a chocolate with a straw. And the little greedy is really too crisp with milk froth around the mouth.

Princess Madeleine of Sweden, who lives in London, stayed during the first week of January in a ski resort of the Swiss Alps, with her husband the British-American banker Christopher O'Neill and their two children Princess Leonore and Prince Nicholas. They were accompanying her parents as H.R.H Princess Madeleine is very close to her mother. According to Swedish media, the princess spent the night at her mother the queen's bedside during her hospitalization, a little more than a week before. It is not surprising that she was also at her side when she was recovering in the Swiss mountains. And we imagine that the queen of Sweden was very happy with her youngest daughter and grandchildren Leonore and Nicolas whom she sees little in the snow. Unlike her elder sister and brother, Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Carl Philip, and their respective families, Madeleine and family do not live in Stockholm but in London.
