Shortly afterwards, the royal court of Sweden clarified the mistake and said: "The King is very sorry that he said the wrong name.
Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Philip have released the first photo of their newborn daughter, Ines Marie Lilian Silvia, on their social media.
The adorable snap was posted on Instagram hours after the monarch, King Carl XVI Gustaf, accidentally announced the wrong name for his new granddaughter.
Tradition dictates that members of the royal family are baptised, around three or four months old, in an heirloom christening gown which dates back to the ceremony for Prince Gustaf Adolf in 1906.
But in an awkward blunder, the monarch, who is dyslexic, accidentally said her name was Princess Inse, not Ines.
