On Monday, October 6, 2025, Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia of Sweden attended the inauguration of a sculpture in the newly renovated Brunn Park at Djurgårdsbrunn on Royal Djurgården in Stockholm. The Prince and Princess unveiled the sculpture “Liten flickas sjösättning” (“The Launching of a Little Girl”) by artist Peter Linde. The sculpture is placed in a fountain located in the newly renovated Brunn Park at Djurgårdsbrunn.
A sweet smile, a new baby, but messy, too long hair that smothers her face. I
ReplyDeletedon‘t understand this look, she has the means to have a hairdresser visit her privately.

I hate too long, messy hair too. It doesn't frame or flatter anyone's face. It's also a lot of work and time consuming to look after.
DeleteI prefer shoulder length hair. It's still long but more manageable.
Sorry, to the hair police who patrol this site.
I do not agree that her hair "smothers her face". I can see her entire face. The fact is that some people don't like long hair, be it on a woman after a certain age or anyone. I think we need to stop saying women "should" do anything. If they choose to have long hair, that is their business.
DeleteI think it’s probably a cultural thing; having perfected hair in Europe isn’t seen as essential by most. I love her natural look!
DeleteThe hair is not at its best IMV, however I think 21:46 is right in her explanation.
DeleteCheck https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPeHZHNDD8Q/… you see there that her hair looks just fine, when it’s not in photos that have been colour edited.
DeleteSo nice to see these two again. Sofia looks good in her brown/carmel outfit. It is so special how he looks at her in the last picture.

Not quite sure Carl Philip is looking at Sofia in that picture. I like her outfit with its nice blend of colors; her wild hair needs some taming though. ~~Ruthie
DeleteM, I think he is looking at her too. Noone else is around her and I have seen him look at her like that MANY times in the past. I also do not think her hair needs any "taming." It is natural and pretty.
DeleteS said something, thats why p CP looked at her!
DeleteQuel charmant couple ; Sofia a su bien harmoniser ces couleurs automnales jusque dans les chaussures !
ReplyDeleteI like her shoes, colour and heel height. I don’t think the 2 tone hair is her best look, imo it ages her. I much prefer her dark colour.
ReplyDeleteYes the shoes are lovely. Very practical colour too for autumn / winter. I think many wise women don't use hairdye during pregnancy, so I give them all credit for being new mums and simply getting out of the house, royal or not!
DeleteS needs a haircut, looks like a torny hair!
ReplyDeleteNot sure what a "torny hair" is, but most definitely our hair is our hair, and no one else gets to say what we need to do with our hair! Unless we are still juniors living at home and Mom or Dad says we have to!!
Delete20:01 too stupid for words
DeleteThe sculpture is nice!
ReplyDeleteHer hair is ghastly, but she is unaware of this.
ReplyDeleteYou are unaware of your ghastly comments
DeleteRude, 20:03. You mean, it's not to your taste. Having lived in Sweden for 10 years, I'll happily say that the Swedes don't aim for perfection. Lovely focus on the people, not perfecting them.
DeleteShe is such a lovely lady, so very charming! ... but the hair?? She can do much better.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing, given that she has the means to have a hairdresser when she needs, but is busy being a mom, that she's happy with her hair as is. So "much better" probably isn't what she sees, but what you see...
Delete9.35 The family has help with everything, so not so busy!
Delete14:20 are you a maid of theirs?
DeleteThere is a lovely little clip about this outing - I find the sculpture besides the fountain is beautiful: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPeHZHNDD8Q/
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, thank you!
DeleteCP and Sofia are such a good-looking couple! Sofia looks quite nice here even though it is rather hard to see exactly what she wearing. I do agree with other posters about her hair in terms of the color which appears to be growing out--perhaps a trim would help too. I wear my hair long and really don't think about getting a haircut since I have no real style to keep up. I usually notice my ends are starting to look a bit too dry which means they look scraggly and unkempt. Sofia has 4 young children and I feel like her hair is not a major priority for her right now. She still looks beautiful and nicely turned out.

Very kind and interesting comment, thank you Janet!
DeleteSofia’s hair is looking pretty rough in terms of the color and texture. I know she has 4 children, including a baby, so I do have sympathy that hair care likely hasn’t been her top priority - but I think it’s time to see the hairdresser.

Nice to see them at an event together. Like the skirt, not her hairstyle or color she has had a nice hairdo in the past. The statue is very nice.

She is a lovely lady with a gorgeous smile. She looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI wish she let go of the blonde colour it never suited her in my opinion. Brown on the other hand suited her a lot better. I don’t have a problem with long hair, however her hair seems to be ruined possibly because of colouring it blonde. At least I’m glad her bangs are mostly gone it never suited her either. I wonder if she sees a hairstylist regularly or not. Because her hair often looks like she styles it herself. Anyway she has such a nice face and she looks healthy and happy. Larina
ReplyDeleteAgré! I can not understand why she doesn`t have her own lovely brown colour. I think her hairdresser like it this way.
DeleteThey are so lovely. There is something good and beautiful about them.
ReplyDeleteI agree! To me this has seemed to be a marriage of two warm good humans, who together radiate immense warmth and good together.
DeleteFür mich sieht das schon fast so aus, als hat ein Friseur die Haare so ein- oder nachgefärbt, man erkennt es wenn - dann an der langen hellen Strähne rechts, oder soll da kein Haar herausgewachsen sein? Also ich denke nicht, das vier Kinder ein Grund für Zeitmangel zum Haare schneiden sein sollen, da müssten ja alle Mütter mit einem oder mehr Kindern ungeschnitten umher laufen ? ; ) Warum aber, hat hierzu keine eine Meinung für eine Perücke? Wie es vor einigen Wochen einer anderen Prinzessin teilweise angedichtet wurde? Prinzessin Sofia hat so traumschöne Schuhe passend zu ihrem Mantel. Die zarten Blumen sind so schön und natürlich wie die Prinzessin Sofia, und neben ihrem so schönen Mann sind die Haare doch echte Nebensache. - Dorothe -
