Stockholm – On July 14, 2025, Crown Princess Victoria celebrated her 48th birthday on the island of Öland – and was surprised with a very special gift.

A Birthday with Double Significance

On this day, little Astrid, the first child of Hedvig Söderström (26), was born. Hedvig is the daughter of Anna Westling, the elder sister of Prince Daniel (51), and thus Victoria's niece. For Anna, the birth of her granddaughter means becoming a grandmother at just 54 years old. Little Astrid will now not only share her name day, but also her birthday with the Swedish heir to the throne. This touching coincidence must have filled the entire royal family with great joy. Although Hedvig Söderström is not officially part of the royal family, she maintains a close relationship with her blue-blooded relatives – a bond that has been evident on several occasions.

Royal Family Attends Wedding

For example, Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel traveled with their children, Princess Estelle (13) and Prince Oscar (9), to the wedding of Hedvig and ice hockey pro Victor Söderström (24) in Italy in the summer of 2024, as reported by Svensk Damtidning. Hedvig also played an important role at royal occasions in the past: At Victoria and Daniel's wedding in 2010, she carried the ring pillow into the Stockholm Nikolaikirche as a young bridesmaid.
