Princess Estelle was the first female in Swedish history to be born with a right to inherit the crown that cannot be superseded by the birth of a male heir, as well as the first person in Swedish history to be born of a female heir apparent.

Earlier this month she was seen out at an event with her mother and father as they attended a concert hosted by Lilla Akademien, a music school for children, at Vasa Theater on February 13, 2020 in Stockholm, Sweden.
