Prince Nicolas of Sweden in a portrait for his first birthday

Nicolas Paul Gustaf of Sweden is one. The eldest grandson of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia was photographed at his family home in Stockholm for his first birthday.

When he was born, on June 15th 2015, in Stockholm he was the only grandson for the Swedish King and Queen. In the following ten months he got two male cousins to bolster the numbers against the girls. Nicolas went from being an only grandson to leader of a pack of princes.

In his first birthday portraits, Nicolas smiles for the camera in a very smart blue shirt and looking the image of his father. He is growing into quite a little man - and he now has a group of little cousins to look up to him. Happy Birthday, Nicolas.
