Princess Estelle of Swedenis starting off the new year with an unwelcome accessory: a leg cast.
The 7-year-old royal fractured her limb during a skiing accident while the royal family was enjoying a holiday in the Alps, the Royal Court’s Head of Information Margareta Thorgren confirmed to the Swedish outletAftonbladet.The spokeswoman added that Estelle was brought to the hospital for X-rays and placed in a cast. She is walking on crutches and is “otherwise well.”
The incident was not serious enough for the family to cancel their vacation.
Despite her young age, Princess Estelle has been skiing for most of her life. In fact, photos of the future queen on the slopes — and rocking a pink snow suit and cozy white hat — were released to celebrate her third birthday in 2015.
