I am pleased to inform readers that Mr Tom Bergroth, Curator of The Royal Orders of Chivalry at The Royal Castle in Stockholm has been able to confirm that the Coat of Arms of HRH Princess Sofia of Sweden, Duchess of Värmland were finally made public in June of this year and were published in the Yearbook of the Swedish State Archives. (Please be aware that the picture below is scanned in from the Yearbook itself.) The Arms, on an oval escutcheon at the centre of her husband, HRH Prince Carl Philip, Duke of Värmalnd's Coat of Arms, are based on those of her homeland, Älvdalen. HRH's Arms are the simple background to the locality's Coat of Arms which amounts to a Silver Field, a Red (Gules) triple mountain and a Chief Wavy Azure (Blue) which would appear to represent a blue sky. The sythe and crossbow from Älvdalen's version have been removed for the Princess.
