Princess Sofia of Sweden looked radiant in an all-white ensemble on Wednesday as she met with representatives at the European Parliament in Brussels to discuss children’s rights.

The royal, 39, was impossibly elegant in a light silk shirt and matching tailored trousers, giving a fresh and modern appearance.

She was joined by her husband Prince Carl Philip – who is the only son of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, and is currently fourth-in-line to the Swedish throne.

Sofia’s ensemble almost gave the impression of wearing a stylish trouser-suit thanks to her singular use of white, and she added a dainty brown belt to emphasise her waist.

She complemented her look with gold metallic detailing throughout her outfit, such as on her belt buckle, her jewellery and the hardware of her stylish leather bag.

She then engaged in discussions alongside Carl Philip, who was smartly turned out for the occasion in a navy suit.

The royal couple has travelled to Belgium to attend the European Parliament Intergroup on Children’s Rights, which is co-charied by Swedish politician David Lega of the Christian Democrats.

The cross-party and cross-national group of MEPs promotes children’s rights and works to ensure their wellbeing is put to the forefront of EU policy.

Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia were joined by representatives from their Foundation, which was set up when they married in 2015 and is focused on campaigning against bullying.

The couple share three children Prince Alexander, 7, Prince Gabriel, 6, and Prince Julian, 3.

In 2019, King Carl XVI Gustaf decided that Princess Sofia’s sons, as well as those of Prince Carl Philip’s sister Princess Madeline, will not have HRH titles.

Although they will still go by prince and princesses they will not receive taxpayer funds.

At the time of the announcement Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Philip said it would allow their children to have more freedom when they get older.

When asked by Royal Central if she had ever considered stepping back from royal life, Sofia said: ‘No. Not really. I think I have found such a fantastic balance, and I really see it as positive that I have made it through these stormy years.

‘It is such a huge advantage, in that we have the opportunity to stand a little in both worlds.’

Princess Sofia then went on to star on a Love Island-style reality television show before moving to New York where she became a yoga teacher and studied accountancy.

When she joined the Swedish royal family in 2015, there was, as you might expect, something of a backlash.

Since then, however, she has become one of the best-loved members of the Swedish royal family, praised for working in hospitals during the Covid-19 pandemic.

During the pandemic Princess Sofia undertook a three-day medical course at Sophiahemmet University College in Stockholm, where she is an honorary chair member.

This meant she was able to assist with healthcare work. Photos surfaced of her scrubbed in and posing with other staff members, who worked at the Sophiahemmet hospital.
