“It’s amazing,” the brunette beauty told Sweden’s Svenskdam during a visit to Stenhammar Palace, situated just 120 kilometers south of Stockholm.

“He is very sweet and well-behaved,” the former reality television star revealed as she looked adoringly into her son’s stroller, where he napped peacefully, sucking on a dummy.

The new mum just can’t get enough of her sweet son.

When asked who the newborn takes after, mum Sofia quipped, “He’s a little mixture of both of us! And it’s different every day.”

And papa Carl couldn’t agree more! “The first time has been a shift, of course, but it is still absolutely amazing and wonderful,” he beamed to which Sofia agreed.

“Having children changes your whole life.”

Just hours after he became a dad, the Prince spoke to reporters in a press conference at the hospital.

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

“For me and my wife, this is obviously a great day with a lot of emotion,” he mused.

“Words cannot describe.”
