The princess of tradition

She may have been born in the USA but the name of Sweden's newest princess won't be known until granddad is back in Stockholm.  Princess Madeleine's husband, Chris O'Neill, has given a press conference following the birth of the couple's daughter but there was no naming in New York this afternoon.  Instead, the proud daddy confirmed that his little girl's name will be revealed at a cabinet meeting - as is traditional.

Princess Madeleine and Chris O'Neill welcomed their daughter on February 20th 2014 at 22:41 local time in New York

Chris O'Neill revealed that the fifth in line to the Swedish throne weighed 3.15 kilograms and measured 50 centimetres and that Princess Madeleine had a natural birth after a labour lasting most of the day. While there were no photos of the baby, the new father did have her footprint on her arm.  Sweden's newest princess' name might be a secret in keeping with tradition but her parents are setting new royal trends anyway.
