Mummy Madeleine's photo album

It was meant to be a private family holiday but when Princess Madeleine found photographers trying to get photos of her, her husband and their two children while they enjoyed their sunshine break she totally got the better of them. Madeleine posted some top snaps of the family on her Facebook page, making sure she was in charge and that there was no market for snatched images.

Madeleine shared photos of Princess Leonore, who is about to turn two, and seven month old Prince Nicolas on her own social media account with the message ''Family time, sadly interrupted. What a pity we weren't just asked for photos, because here are some sweet ones.''.  And she is right, they are really sweet.

Family time, sadly interrupted. What a pity we weren't just asked for photos, because here are some sweet ones.

Perhaps the sweetest of all shows Princess Leonore enjoying an ice cream.  There are also snaps of both children enjoying a cuddle with their mum while Prince Nicolas seems to be trying to snatch the camera away in another image.

It shows another attempt by the younger generation of royals to provide a private and normal upbringing for their children. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have released several photos of Prince George and Princess Charlotte to the media in recent months to try and satisfy the huge interest there is in their family life while keeping their children away from the cameras themselves.

And we can expect more Swedish baby photos in months to come as Madeleine's sister, Crown Princess Victoria, prepares to welcome her second baby in March and her brother, Prince Carl Philip, becomes a dad for the first time in April.
