At just 7 years old, Princess Estelle of Sweden – also known as the Duchess of Östergötland – is second in line for the throne. Pretty impressive resumé for a little kid, right? We thought so, too. Born to Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel on Feb. 23, 2012, the princess also plays big sister to her younger brother, Prince Oscar.
Regularly in front of the press, Princess Estelle has had her fair share of sweet – and obviously hilarious, because kids – moments in front of the camera.
