The proud dad, Prince Carl Philip shared personal details about the emotional birth with the press just hours after Princess Sofia gave birth.

When asked if he had cried during the birth, the prince replied, “Yes, actually. Of course. Couldn’t stop.”

“For me and my wife, this is obviously a great day with a lot of emotion,” he told the press conference at Danderyd Hospital in Stockholm.

“Words cannot describe.”

Carl Philp said that it is too early to say who the baby looks like, but he did reveal that the newborn is dark-haired.

King Carl XVI Gustaf cancelled a planned trip, opting instead to visit the young family before at the hospital.

“It’s marvellous, everything went well,” the king told the Swedish newspaper Expressen.
