Princess Madeleine, Duchess of Hälsingland and Gästrikland, and her husband Mr Christopher O'Neill, have a new daughter, Adrienne Josephine Alice. She is to be Duchess of Blekinge, the first time ever that Blekinge has had a Duke/Duchess.
Princess Adrienne's arms will doubtless be the usual royal arms with the arms of Blekinge in Q3.
