Sweden’s Carl Philip and Sofia Share New Princess Ines Photo in Signed Thank-You Cards

The court-commissioned portrait surfaced via a recipient’s X post, signaling the couple’s tight grip on how the baptism is pictured.

Overview

  • The cards, sent in response to congratulations on the June 13 baptism at Drottningholm Palace Chapel, include a previously unpublished image of Ines in her lace christening gown.
  • The photograph is credited to court photographer Elisabeth Toll, who also produced the official images released shortly after the ceremony.
  • A copy of the card was posted on X on October 21 and subsequently reported by outlets including GALA, Stern and Promiflash.
  • The message expresses gratitude for well-wishes and carries the personal signatures of Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Philip.
  • About 160 attended the service, which named Princess Estelle, Frederik von der Esch, Claes and Sandrine Kockum and Tiara Larsson as godparents, and featured Ines’s brothers pouring the baptismal water.
