They teased fans - and subjects - with a family snap as they left the maternity ward last week.

And now Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and her husband Prince Daniel have released the first official portrait of their son, Prince Oscar, who was born on Wednesday night.

The Prince - whose full name is Oscar Carl Olaf - is their second child; Victoria and Daniel are already parents to Princess Estelle, four.

Sleeping soundly: Sweden's Royal Court released this image of Prince Oscar Carl Olaf, who is five days old

Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel and Princess Estelle leave hospital with their new addition last week

In the photo, released on the Swedish Royal Palace's official website and Facebook page this morning, the little Prince is swathed in blankets and appears to be sleeping soundly in the Haga Palace.

He has dark hair, just like his mother, and has already drawn comparisons to his elder sister.

The Swedish court's head of information Margaretha Thorgren confirmed that the snap was taken by Victoria herself.

Oscar was born weighing just over 8lbs at the Karolinska University Hospital in the Swedish capital of Stockholm and will be third in line to the Swedish throne after his sister.

His proud father Prince Daniel was seen crying tears of joy as he announced his son's birth to the press last week, adding that they had kept the sex of their new arrival a surprise until he was born.

‘Everyone is obviously very happy,' Prince Daniel said, according to Expressen. ‘I haven’t had time to feel yet how it feels to be a father of two, but it obviously feels good.’

He then added: ‘Estelle is of course really enthusiastic and happy about being a big sister.'

Just hours before Prince Oscar's arrival, footage emerged of him appearing to kick from inside his mother's belly.

Princess Victoria, 38, was making her final public engagement before her maternity leave - at the Global Change Awards 2016 in Stockholm - when the incredible moment was captured on camera.

And she appeared to react to the sudden movement by tenderly putting her hand on her stomach.

The bizarre moment, caught by photographer Patrick C. Osterberg, was shared on Swedish network Expressen Kungligt's Instagram page, with the caption: 'The new Prince or Princess says hello with a Royal kick!'
