Here she is – H.R.H. Princess Leonore Lilian Maria, daughter of Princess Madeleine of Sweden and Chris O'Neill. Lilian after the recently deceased Princess Lilian of Sweden, and Maria presumably after Chris O'Neill's mother's middle name. Born in New York, the little princess is also Duchess of Gotland.
A Te Deum service will be held in the Royal Chapel at Stockholm Palace on March 2nd. The name Leonore is a variant of the Greek Eleanor, and means ”sun ray, shining light, compassion”.

H.R.H Princess Madeleine of Sweden and her husband Chris O’Neill welcomed their first baby, a daughter on February 20. On Feb. 21, 21-gun royal salutes were fired throughout Sweden to celebrate the occasion: Royal Salute for the Princess!
