The Swedish Royal Family is always in focus in one way or the other. This time for the reason of a little newborn, that we so far do not know much about. According to the press release a child is born… Not a girl or boy, but a child.

Swedish is a german language and generally we would use the pronouns he, she or it, to refer to anyone or anything, but a few years ago, a new pronoun was introduced, HEN, pronounced exactly as one would pronounce the feathered mother of a chicken…

For a few more minutes now, we still don’t know whether the new little ”hen” is a he or a she. What we DO know is how much attention Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Philip received by keeping the sex of the child a secret like this.
