Sweden - Princess gets a name
Print Edition
Sweden’s Royal Palace says the newborn daughter of Princess Madeleine and New York banker Christopher O’Neill will be called Princess Leonore Lilian Maria.
King Carl XVI Gustaf said on Wednesday that his second grandchild will become Duchess of Gotland, Sweden’s largest island.
Princess Madeleine and O’Neill’s first child was born February 20 in New York City, where they live.
No date for the christening was announced.
The couple wed in June in Stockholm. The younger sister of Crown Princess Victoria, Madeleine is fourth in line to the Swedish throne.
Sweden has a constitutional monarchy in which the royals primarily are figureheads. The king is the country’s head of state, but his powers are limited to ceremonial duties.
