Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden beamed on Monday as she attended her officer training at the Swedish Defence University in Stockholm.
The royal, 47, donned a full navy cadet uniform while participating in a basic military strategy course - as part of her special officer training in preparation for her future role as head of state.
Dressed in military regalia, the heir to the Swedish throne was seen sporting a full navy suit with a crisp white shirt, sleek blazer and a relaxed fitting pair of trousers.
The Swede appeared fresh faced as she stepped out for the training day ahead. She looked smart and sophisticated with her hair in a slicked back bun.
The royal beamed as she was pictured listening intently to fellow cadets before the training course commenced on Monday.
As part of her preparations to take on the role of head of state, Victoria is undertaking her special officer training (SOFU) - a training course for employees in the Armed Forces
The specialised training course had been specially tailored for individuals already with an academic degree, and reportedly includes both theoretical and practical elements.
The officer programme, which commenced on 16 August, is the biggest training regime at the Swedish Defence University, with a total of 255 cadets in training.

Joining the programme, Victoria will serve as one of just 28 per cent of women who are part of the Officer Programme.
Cadets have the choice to specialise in either of three different programmes including: war studies, naval science and military technical specialisation.
It was announced in April that the Crown Princess would undertake special officer training during the autumn months.
When she first took on the course, the royal family made a special post on their official Instagram account, writing: 'During the basic course, the Crown Princess had to deepen herself in personal soldier skills and practical combat situations.
'The Crown Princess also received repetition and further development of previous knowledge.'
Speaking about her plans, Victoria said in the statement: 'My ambition is now to put all my energy into officer training in order to be able to represent Sweden and the Armed Forces in the best possible way in the future.
'I'm looking forward to an interesting and rewarding study time with my new classmates.'
Victoria was spotted getting stuck into her military training last November as she took on a rigorous training exercise in Stockholm.

She was seen smiling in some images, showed she was not afraid to get her hands dirty as she joined the 1st Marine Regiment.
Dressed in military gear, the heir to the Swedish throne was seen holding a large gun as she attended the training event at the Berga Naval Base in Stockholm.
She was also seen posing alongside others in the 1st Marine Regiment for a group photograph.
She donned military boots and wore a baseball-style cap, as she sensibly opted to go make-up free, and pull her hair into a practical low ponytail.
She has been snapped attending other training events, including a classroom-based war games lesson at the Swedish Defence University in October.
It comes after the Swedish royal was seen dresses to the nines as she attended the Nobel Prize Awards Ceremony at Stockholm Concert Hall in December.
The royal joined her parents, King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia, and husband, Prince Daniel, 51, on the stage at the glamorous event.

She studied Political Science and History at Yale University and is a graduate of the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Diplomatic Programme.
Queen Silvia, 80, opted for a similarly dazzling navy sequin dress featuring long sleeves.
Meanwhile, King Carl Gustaf, 78, dressed in a dapper suit and tailcoat, presented the Nobel laureate in Chemistry to American chemist and computer scientist John Jumper.
The monarch also presented the Nobel laureate in literature to South Korean writer Han Kang, 54, during the Nobel Prize 2024 award ceremony.
Afterwards, crowds were pictured enjoyed a glittering banquet. Royals were mixed in with Nobel laureates, and appeared to enjoy conversations amid the stunningly decorated tables.
Golden tableware was teamed with a myriad of different glasses and dozens of flowers.
On the menu was a goat cheese dish, served with 'Swedish beets, honey and quince glaze, along with roasted pumpkin seeds' for starter, a 'quenelle of chicken' with a selection of vegetables for the main, and a 'variation on Swedish apples' for dessert.
Theatrical performances followed soon after, which featured Swedish singer Laleh Pourkarim.
