This summer is proving to have a hectic schedule for Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Philip of Sweden who have already carried out another engagement in less than 24 hours since the family boat party, attending the inauguration of Prince Julian’s playground at Naturum Getterön in Varberg today (17 June). 

Princess Sofia ditched the formal attire in favour of a matching floral skirt and top, and casual white trainers, while Prince Carl Philip swapped his suit trousers for relaxed beige chinos, but opted for the same smart shirt and jacket combination as yesterday.
