Born to Danish father and Swedish mother,Sofia Hellqvist moved to New York at the age of 18 to pursue higher studies. After two years, she returned to Sweden to study at the University of Stockholm.
Sofia Hellqvist has worked as a waitress and glamour model, who posed topless for Slitz men's magazine, when she was 20. Her past has often created controversy during her relationship with the Prince, and her tattoos and belly button piercing also made her an "unsuitable" princess at one point of time.
Sofia Hellqvist has also participated in TV reality show Paradise Hotel in 2005, in which she was reportedly caught on camera kissing 41-year-old American porn actress Jenna Jameson.
The soon-to-be-princess is also a yoga instructor and is a volunteer and aid worker in South Africa, Senegal and Ghana
