After the royal couple welcomed their son on Tuesday, the proud new dad shared the official snap of his bundle of joy.
The photo, which was taken by the Prince, shows the fifth-in-line to the throne sound asleep in a bassinet covered in blankets while dressed in a white sleeper suit.
Hello Prince Alexander Erik Hubertus Bertil, Duke of Sodermanland!
The family revealed their son’s beautiful name earlier this week.
Carl Philip’s father King Carl XVI Gustaf explained that the new parents followed Swedish royal tradition revealing his grandson’s name and title at a cabinet meeting.
Prince Alexander was born at 6:25pm at the Danderyd hospital in Stockholm and weighed about 3.5 kgs.
“The Marshal of the Realm is delighted to announce that HRH Princess Sofia gave birth to a healthy child,” a statement on the royal Facebook page said.
The new family-of-three have returned to their home at Drottningholm Palace, with the palace revealing they’re “doing well,” and are “looking forward” to spending time with their son.
At the heart of the 60 Minutes snatched children saga is a very real story about the anguish of losing your child. The Weekly spoke with other women fighting to be united with their children.
They call themselves “stuck mums”. Women everywhere stranded abroad and not able to return home with their children, or worse still, separated from their children altogether.
In the wake of the botched ‘retrieval’ of Sally Faulkner’s children in Lebanon (abetted by 60 Minutes and Tara Brown) The Weekly Online has spoken to women across the country fighting to be united with their children.
After all, at the heart of the 60 Minutes debacle is a domestic dispute between a mother and a father.
Like all domestic disputes, it is a difficult situation. It has been complicated further by the toing and froing of the Faulkner children between Australia and Lebanon, a country that lies outside of the Hague Convention.
The Hague Convention is a piece of legislation from the 1980’s that stipulates one parent can not take a child from its habitual residence without the permission of the other parent, and that any disputes are settled in the family court of that county.
However, the law doesn’t define what constitutes a habitual residence. This means that families who travel overseas temporarily also need to comply with it. And while it may not be an issue when all is rosy, it can be an absolute nightmare when relationships break down.
Emma Daniels* is a ‘stuck mum’.
The 38-year-old from WA relocated to the US in 2013 with her family because her husband was offered a good work opportunity.
But when her marriage broke down, she found herself living a nightmare.
Cut off financially and unable to work due to visa restrictions she decided to return to Australia with her two daughters.
But despite Emma being an Australian citizen and the primary carer of her children, the Australian family courts have sided with her ex-husband.
This means that she has no choice but to return to the states with her children, where she risks prosecution for abduction.
“The Australian government is sending me, an Australian, back to the states to live in poverty with my daughters.
“This means that the court over there will take my children from their mother, because they will look at who can provide a better quality of life for the children. In Australia I can do that, but I can’t in America,” she explains.
Kate Lawson* also shared her heart-breaking story.
“I am a British citizen, and came to Australia with my British partner (now my ex) and our daughter. None of us have Australian residency and it was never our intention to remain in Australia on a permanent basis,” she explains.
But when Kate and her ex separated, the Hague Convention meant that despite coming to Australia temporarily, she would need permission from her ex to leave the country with their daughter.
“I’m forced to stay in Australia because my ex wants to stay here,” she says.
Kate’s situation is desperate. Despite not being permitted to leave she is not entitled to Australian residency. This means that she can’t access benefits or legal aid.
“I have a long term chronic illness and unable to work and cannot support myself and my daughter financially. [My ex] refuses to pay child support. I receive court ordered spousal maintenance but the amount is minimal compared to my actual expenses and [he] is in arrears with his payments.
“The order for maintenance expires next year, at which point I will have no income at all. I have to rely on charity for additional financial support and I am at risk of losing my rented accommodation,” explains Kate.
Like other ‘stuck mums’ Kate is in a desperately hard situation. If she takes her daughter back to the UK without permission she could be prosecuted for abduction.
It sounds like an absurd situation – and it not what the Hague Convention was designed for. But due to the increase in families moving abroad for work, situations like Kate and Emma’s have become all too common.
Tara Brown and 60 Minutes crew were released from Beirut detention last week.
Global ARRK (Action on Relocation and Return with Kids) is a grassroots organisation that offers advice and support to ‘stuck mums’. They say that the problem is “widespread”.
“Being ‘stuck’ in a foreign country is tough – being a single mum is hard enough in your own country with family and friends to prop you up. But living thousands of miles from that support and possibly without income from employment can be devastating.
“Right now there are mums squatting in empty houses, living in caravans and sleeping on neighbour’s floors just because they are too poor to stay in that foreign country but can’t bear to lose their children. It’s heart-breaking.”
Kate Lawson has every sympathy with Sally Faulkner, “As a mother I can fully understand the desperate measures [Sally Faulkner] took to try to get her children back,” she says.
“But if it raises awareness of these issues then at least some good will come out of it.”

The new snap is of the royal family posing together following the church service in the Drawing Room at Sandringham House.
Unlike the original images, this new picture only has William’s side of the family.’
The Queen, Prince William and Catherine are seated with Prince George and Princess Charlotte, as Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Phillip stand behind them.
George famously melted our hearts at his little sister’s big day.
“Her majesty Queen Elizabeth II 90th birthday, long live the Queen! Here shooting the royal family at Sandringham House on the occasion of Princess Charlotte’s christening,” Mario captioned.
Charlotte’s christening took place at St. Mary Magdalene church on the Queen’s Sandringham Estate on 5 July 2015 when Charlotte was just two months old.
The pretty Princess was dressed in a golden replica of a Victorian christening gown made by the Queen’s dressmaker Angela Kelly.
Meanwhile cheeky George donned red shorts and an embroidered shirt by British designer Rachel Riley.
Mario admitted he was “overwhelmed and honoured” after being chosen to photograph the royal christening. The beloved celebrity photographer is a favourite of the royal family.
He snapped Prince William’s 21st birthday, William and Kate’s iconic engagement photos, and even photographed Princess Diana for Vanity Fair back in 1997.
A woman has told police she was sexually assaulted by two men in a roadside toilet block in south-western NSW.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the woman was driving in a white utility and towing a horse float on the Hume Highway from Yass toward Sydney on the night of April 17 when she pulled over at a rest stop and went into a toilet block.
It was there the 44-year-old female was allegedly pushed to the ground by two men who sexually assaulted her.
The woman told police the men had Australian accents and smelled of BO but she was unable to recall exactly where the assault occurred because she fled the scene.
Following the attack, the woman drove to her home on the Central Coast where she told police of what had happened and was treated for cuts and bruises.
The SMH reports detectives have combed the highway looking for anyone who might have seen something – they believe two semi-trailers were parked at the rest stop at the time of the assault.
Investigators are hoping someone will recognise the woman’s car – a dual cab white utility with Queensland number plates.
Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Prince George crashed a dinner between Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama overnight at Kensington Palace which saw the little royal shake hands with the world leader wearing his pyjamas.
According to a royal spokesperson the adorable encounter occurred because the two-year-old son of Prince William and Kate Middleton was “was allowed to stay up late” to meet the little royal, who stole the spotlight earlier in the week in a royal portrait with his father, Prince William, his grandfather Prince Charles, and his great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, was “smartly attired” for bedtime wearing a light-colored robe and pyjama pants to greet the First couple.
George, who turns 3 in July, was allowed to stay up late for the special occasion, but his 11-month-old sister sister, Princess Charlotte was tucked in bed.
“George stayed up for a few minutes when the President and the First Lady arrived, but Charlotte was in bed,” a palace source told PEOPLE.
In another picture shared on the Kensington Palace Twitter page the youngster also showed off a rocking horse that was a gift from the Obamas.
The caption read: “Prince George thanks @BarackObama for his rocking horse, given to him when he was born.”
The Obama’s were attending a private dinner with Prince William, Duchess Catherine (in an L.K. Bennett dress) and Prince Harry while in the UK on official business.
