Princess Sofia

As the Coronavirus pandemic continues to affect people around the world, one member of royalty just took a huge step to help on the front lines.

After completing an intensive training program online, Princess Sofia started working at Sophiahemmet Hospital. While she just started her new duties, Princess Sofia already calls the experience "extremely rewarding." Her help also comes at a much-needed time.

The hospital has been overwhelmed because of the rise of sick patients. As a result, the emergency training program has been launched with almost 80 people a week completing the course that Princess Sofia took to help out.
