Princess Sofia shows off her tattoo at an official appointment
At the reception of the Dutch royal couple, Sofia of Sweden wore a high-necked dress - which, however, offered a rare insight on the back.
Princess Sofia is known for her sense of style. At official appearances, Prince Carl Philip’s wife is always perfectly styled and usually wears very elegant outfits. So also when meeting the Dutch royal couple. Willem-Alexander and Máxima are visiting their royal colleagues in Sweden for three days. For the official reception at the Stockholm palace, Sofia chose a rather simple-looking dress.
The calf-length red robe was closed up to the neck in the front and the long sleeves didn’t allow much skin to show through. In addition, the 37-year-old combined matching accessories, such as pumps, a bag and a hairband. But the back of the princess was clearly the eye-catcher. Because the neckline decorated with a small bow gave a clear view of her tattoo. With her hair pinned up, body jewelry came even more into focus.
A sun can be clearly seen between Sofia’s shoulder blades. A rare sight, because the Swede usually covers this part of the body with jewellery, hair or clothing. Tattoos are still a rarity among royals and are not welcomed. Sofia had the motif engraved before her time in the royal family – it is a remnant of her quite wild past.
Wild past caused criticism
Today’s princess used to work as a bikini model, lived a wild party life and made several appearances on reality TV. Her relationship with the son of the Swedish royal couple caused a lot of criticism at the beginning. With the wedding in 2015 and the birth of their three sons, however, it became quieter and quieter. Only little reminds of Sofia’s history – like her tattoo.
And that’s not the only image gracing her body. Sofia wears a small butterfly on her back and a lettering on her right ankle with the letters E for her father Erik, M for her mother Marie, L for her sister Lina and S for her sister Sara. A tendril of flowers used to wind its way around her left shoulder, which she has since had removed. However, the princess is still sticking to the other motifs.
