Little Estelle will one day be Queen of Sweden. Her mom Victoria, 34, King Carl's firstborn, is first in line to the Swedish throne.

She wed Daniel, her former personal trainer, in June 2010.

"Both the little daughter and the Crown Princess are doing great," Daniel gushed Thursday morning. "The Crown Princess feels radiant, she is so happy . . . As you might guess, we need to just be our little family now."

    Awesome news. Lovely couple. Loving the name. They will make such good parents, just know it. They really wed for love and nothing else. They look ridiculously much in love even after almost 10 years together.
