Prince Carl Philip of Sweden has announced his engagement to Sofia Hellqvist.
The 35-year-old, who is the only son of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden and third-in-line to the Swedish throne, announced on Friday 27 June that he and Sofia will marry in the summer of 2015.
Bride-to-be Sofia turned heads in a scarlet dress when she arrived at Drottningholm Palace, walking hand-in-hand with Carl Philip as they headed to a press conference in the Palace's garden where they shared their first public kiss.
"I have the incredible honour of being engaged to this fantastic girl," an excited Carl Philip told the waiting journalists, while Sofia added "Carl Philip is the most humble person I have ever met, which is what made me fall for him in the beginning. He has one of the most beautiful hearts, he is very warm."
