The princess and the musician spent some time together and created the song "Till mitt sista andetag" (in German: "Until my last breath"). Danny and his then fiancée Molly performed the song at their wedding. "With the help of some friends who are also here, I wrote down some words that express my love for you. From me to you. I love you," Sofia said before Danny and Molly performed the song together . This lovely surprise went straight to the heart. This is exactly where the baby news is likely to hit the Royals.

His relationship with his fiancée, with whom he was performing with the Swedish Royals at the time, fell apart and Danny found a new love in Anna Eriksson. Now the two are expecting their first child. The artist made the great news public on his Instagram channel. On a photo that shows his girlfriend in profile, he writes: "Baby is being baked." And the beginning of a baby bump is already clearly visible. In the second photo of the post, Danny and Anna are shown in close-up. While he tenderly cuddles up to her from behind, Anna smiles happily into the camera.

Did Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia also send congratulations? Most likely. After all, Danny wasn't just there at their wedding, the royals also spent a few days with the musician on Öland, "Expressen" reported at the time. The friends visited a local restaurant in Sandvik to have lunch together. It is very rare to be invited to Solliden Castle. Only close friends and family spend time with the royals at the summer residence.
