Prince Alexander of Sweden, the fifth in line to his country’s throne, just had his ninth birthday. Sporting bowties and big smiles, the family had a wonderful time celebrating their new traditions and a beautiful PhilanthroFISH. While he doesn’t always attend state functions, he did show up for one unexpected event — a hockey game. Alongside him, their younger brother Prince Gabriel and his cousins, Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar were in attendance. This event happened to overlap with Easter celebrations, so it was a doubly festive occasion for the young prince.
On Saturday, the closure celebration hockey game started things off with an electric atmosphere. The royal youngsters took to the ice with their beaming parents, Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel. Prince Alexander along with his brother welcomed each goal with exuberant cries of delight during the closely contested match. Their exuberance made apparent their great chemistry and happiness. The palace proudly released the seldom seen image, showing Prince Alexander in a new clean long sleeved white show. Needless to say, fans and royal watchers alike were overjoyed!
“Today we celebrate our wonderful bundle of joy Alexander who turns 9 years. We also want to wish everyone a Happy Easter.” – The Palace
Upcoming Christening Ceremony
Over the next few months, Prince Alexander will receive a formal christening ceremony followed by celebrations with family and his home country. Chief Chaplain Bishop Johan Dalman and Ordinary Chaplain Michael Bjerkhagen will officiate the service at the Drottningholm Palace Chapel, Stockholm. This event is particularly significant as it follows his sister Princess Ines’s upcoming christening on June 13, emphasizing the family’s royal commitments.
The baptism will mark an important milestone for Prince Alexander. His name—Alexander Erik Hubertus Bertil—is seen as a reflection of his growth and his acceptance into the Swedish royal family. His parents, Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia, have been outspoken advocates and are very hands on. They assist him in balancing his royal duties with his learning.
A New Chapter in Education
Since 2022, Prince Alexander has been enrolled at Djurgårdsskolan – a tiny school with just 94 students. This shift from court into the classroom has been crucial for him as he juggles his royal responsibilities with scholastic attentions. To date, his parents have shared their pride and appreciation in his growth and development within this period.
See how the royal family joyfully celebrated great big Alexander’s birthday and welcomed lovely Easter in on social media. Fans shared their well-wishes, with one admirer stating:
“Happy birthday Alexander, I wish you many more with health and long life my granddaughter is also celebrating her birthday today and 9 years old God take care of you.” – A fan
Prince Alexander is entering an exciting new chapter of his life as both a child and a royal. Between his few public appearances and his charming disposition, it’s no wonder he has people wrapped around his little paw.
