Sweden’s Royal Palace revealed the news in statement.
“Princess Sofia gave birth to a healthy and prosperous child on Tuesday, April 19 at 6:25 p.m. Both mother and child are doing well.”
The palace added that Carl Philip was in the hospital room during the birth of his son, the baby weighed in at 7 lbs., 9 oz. and 19.3 inches long.
Carl Philip married the former glamour model last June.
The pair traveled on Tuesday evening from their new home at Drottningholm Palace to the royal family’s hospital of choice, Danderyd Hospital.
The new dad addressed the media during this time, thanking everyone for their well wishes.
“For me and my wife, this is obviously a great day with a lot of emotion,” he said.
“Words cannot describe,” the proud new papa added.
The Prince did admit it’s too soon to tell who the baby looks like, but did reveal that his son has dark-hair.
Clearly he’s already a hands on dad, the Swede told reporters he cut the umbilical cord himself.
“We are so excited,” he shared about his son, who is fifth in line to the Swedish throne.
Mum’s the word! The couple decided to be surprise with their baby’s gender.
The couple, who wed in June last year, went into the birth not knowing what they were having.
“It’ll be a surprise,” Sofia told a reporter late last year. “It feels great.”
The little Prince’s grandmother, Queen Silvia, was in New York preparing to deliver a speech to the United Nations when the bundle of joy arrived.
“It was a bit difficult. I was sitting here in the meeting, it was very interesting and important,” she told Swedish reporters.
“I’m so happy, really. All is well, and both the Princess Sofia and the baby are doing well. I’m walking walk on clouds!”
