In March 2021, Prince Carl Philip, 42, and Princess Sofia, 36, became parents again. Prince Julian is the couple’s third child. Before that, they had already welcomed his older brothers Prince Alexander, 5, and Prince Gabriel, 4, into the world. For all children, the new mum stepped down on her royal duties shortly after birth. Like many other Swedes, she took parental leave – with something special.

So do Sofia and Carl Philip. In the royal family, however, there is one difference to the other Swedes: they do not receive parental allowance during this period.
“When it comes to the royal family, we don’t usually talk about paternity and maternity leave. It’s about getting benefits from the Social Security Agency to stay at home. The prince and princess don’t have that, but they try take turns and spend as much time as possible with their children, “said Margareta Thorgren, the information chief of the court, the tabloid” Expressen “. Sofia is currently staying at home because she is still breastfeeding her youngest child.
