Children all over the world are looking forward to Christmas, but Prince Oscar of Sweden had an extra dose of excitement today when he went to pick out a Christmas tree with his parents.
Prince Oscar of Sweden, three, stole the show this morning when his parents Crown Princess Victoria, 42, and Prince Daniel, 46, took him to select their Christmas tree for the annual tradition at the Royal Palace in Stockholm
Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, 42, and her husband Prince Daniel, 46, took their youngest with them to pick a pine for the Royal Palace, in the Swedish capital, and Oscar, three, could barely contain his glee.
The palace was filled with holiday cheer thanks to the Christmas pines all impeccably aligned by students from the master's program at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) for Oscar and his parents to pick one to decorate.
The students, dressed as elves for the occasion, even kept a smaller, Oscar-size tree specially for the young royal, who seemed delighted and proud of his new acquisition and did not let go of it for the rest of the engagement.
The young royal selected a tree that was roughly his size and would not let go as students of the master's program at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) stood around, dressed as Christmas elves
Wearing a festive red midi-skirt with a matching jacket, his mother Crown Princess Victoria's attention was all on her son as the family gathered around the young royal.
A shiny leather belt in black tied her jacket together at the waist, matching the colour of her suede heels.
A statement necklace in a lighter shade of red could be seen slipping out of her jacket as she walked with her son and husband.
Prince Daniel wrapped up in a navy coat over a smart suit of the same colour, a crisp white shirt and a red tie.
The young royal held both his parents hands as they walked up to the trees. Each years members of the royal family are presented with a selection of pines to choose from ahead of the festivities
The Christmas tree choosing is a tradition of the Swedish family which takes place every year and is observed by all its members.
The tradition sees the Swedish royal family welcome students from the master's program at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU).
The students present the royals with a selection of Christmas trees which they will then choose from to have displayed in the royal palace in Stockholm.
Oscar had his heart set on a small tree this morning, and had the main pick, because his sister Estelle was absent

Since the late 1960s, SLU has presented Christmas trees to the Royal Palace. The King's Cave has got its current name according to this tradition, it was originally called Nordmann's branch.
Much like the Queen's Christmas Day speech, the Swedish royal family release a Christmas message a few days ahead of the big day where they reflect on the year that's gone and the one ahead.
With two young children, Christmas is as important as ever for Victoria and Daniel, who are known to put the focus on their brood for yule.
Last year, the couple, who celebrated their relationship's ten-year-anniversary in 2019, shared an adorable Christmas video of their two children ahead of the festivities.
Estelle, then six, and Oscar, then two, could be seen making Christmas ornaments with their parents in a video full of heart-warming cheer.
