 Baby Nicolas is sixth in line to the Swedish throne after his sister, Princess Leonore.

Their mother, Princess Madeleine, is fourth in line for the crown.

The Royals serve as figureheads in Sweden which is a constitutional monarchy.

The king is technically head of state, but the power of the Royals remains as ceremonial duties.
