Prince Oscar of Sweden celebrates his 7th birthday on Thursday (March 2). Traditionally, the royal family shows new photos of the royal rung on Instagram for this occasion. Same this time.

In the first picture he is sitting on a cream colored couch with a small brown poodle on his lap and smiling for the camera. With his cozy gray knit sweater and gray jeans, he wears a gelled side parting - and a cute age-appropriate gap in his teeth.

The second photo shows Oscar with his big sister, the future heir to the throne Princess Estelle (11). The two sit back to back on a castle staircase. While he's looking a little more seriously at the camera this time, Estelle is all the more beaming.

"Today H.K.H. Prince Oscar is 7 years old. Congratulations!", So the sober comment in the post.

Incidentally, Estelle's outfit shows that the two photos were taken together with her own birthday photo – also published on Instagram on February 23rd. Because in both pictures she wears a casual but chic ensemble of a white knitted top, a knee-length skirt with a houndstooth pattern and white tights.

Estelle and Oscar are the children of Crown Princess Victoria (45) and Prince Daniel of Sweden (49). The two have been married since 2010 after a long relationship.
