Leonore of Sweden is three today. The daughter of Princess Madeleine and Chris O'Neill was born on February 20th 2014 and celebrates her special day with two new official photos.

Leonore Lilian Maria is seen pretty in pink in a traditional style portrait and acting just like a three year old in another as she trails a sea of balloons through one of the ancient corridors of the Swedish Royal Palace.

As we've come to expect there are also more photos on Princess Madeleine's official Facebook page where the sixth in line to the throne wishes her little girl a Happy Birthday with the lovely words 'you make us smile every day'.

Princess Leonore, who was born in New York, is seventh in line to the throne of Sweden and will spend her third birthday in Stockholm after her parents brought her and her little brother, Prince Nicolas, for a stay with the family this month. We'll see Princess Madeleine and Chris O'Neill throughout the day as they take part in the Canadian State Visit to Sweden today. Leonore will probably stay behind the palace doors to celebrate her big day but she's got the party started with two princess perfect photos as she turns three.
