Inside Princess Sofia And Prince Carl Philip's Marriage

When Sofia Hellqvist married her prince, Carl Philip, she got much more than a husband. She also gained a close pal in Princess Victoria, her new sister-in-law. Princess Victoria is the eldest child of Sweden's king and queen and, thanks to changes in Swedish succession law, she is next in line to assume the throne as the country's ruler.

Before becoming a member of the royal family, Sofia celebrated her upcoming nuptials with her nearest and dearest, and among her supportive partygoers was her future sister-in-law Victoria. The princess, future princess, and party guests attended a lavish bachelorette party in honor of Sofia, according to Hello! magazine. They dined on Lebanese food, sipped champagne, and relaxed by Lake Mälaren outside of Stockholm before returning home for the royal wedding. The two women didn't stop spending time together after the wedding festivities. In fact, they have only grown closer. Per People, the pair became one with nature when they hiked in Fulufjällets National Park after attending the Polar Music Prize 2019 awards ceremony together.

These princesses have a lot in common when it comes to defending their relationships. Public scrutiny ran rampant when word got out that Sweden's prince was marrying Sofia. Princess Victoria can sympathize with judgment and rumors as she came to the defense of her own union on Instagram, dispelling murmurings of betrayal and divorce. These women stick by their men and one another.
