Does anyone think that Maud Angelica's clothes come from the Marie-Chantal line?

Why? Is Märtha-Louise close to Marie-Chantal?

Babbling with daddy:

[Alexandria]

I never thought much of Ari as being a doting daddy. He always seemed to be more of an artsy type who did whatever he pleased whenever, all in the name of "art" and "creation." He never seemed quite like a playboy but certainly by the same token, not like one to settle down, either. But these latest pictures of Martha Louise, Ari and Maud out and about have certainly changed how I perceive Ari. Maud looks like she has daddy wrapped around her little finger (even at only 6 months!) and Ari seems over the moon by it, and like he wouldn't want things any other way.

How incredible that a tiny little thing like a baby (small but lots of responsibility) can transform a person so completely like that. Absolutely amazing!

I don't know if Martha Louise and Marie-Chantal are close - they don't seem like they would be. Martha Louise is very artsy and much into horses and equestrian sport, while Marie-Chantal is very much into the fashion scene and jet-set crowd. Two very different social spheres in my eyes.

Martha Louise also doesn't seem like she would ever buy the prissy children's clothes Marie-Chantal designs. From my own perspective of Martha Louise's personal style (not the style for her daughter, as I've only seen pictures of Maud from less than a handful of occasions), she seems to favour lots of bright colours and more eclectic pieces of clothing. Martha Louise's clothes are bright and cheerful, even whimsicial on several occasions, not at all prim and proper. I could never see Martha Louise wearing something 'au couture' or off the runway - not because she couldn't afford it or because it wouldn't look good on her - but because it would seem too "uniform," absolutely unoriginal. It would be unthinkable for me to think of Martha Louise dressed in something as "ordinary" as Gap clothing. I've always loved Martha Louise's style and her clothes because they were so original and so reflective of her personality. I want to believe that she would dress her daughter in the same way; she wouldn't dress her daughter in clothes that every other little girl at the park was wearing, too.

Seems as if you (Alexandria) wouldn´t have an good opinion of Marie Chantal. I think a lot of people haven´t, and for me it´s at least more understandable than to dislike poor, but wonderful, charming, graceful, crown princess Mary (nee Mary Donaldson)

Maud Angelica has grown so much, she's gotten so pretty! (Although she's bald...no matter, I was bald at that age too :)) Moving on, Ari seems to be a very doting father. He has developed very much too! We saw him holding Maud like a doll when she was 4 months old, now he seems to be a better father, or at least a more learned one.

I don't mean to be hard on either Mary or Marie-Chantal, because, of course I don't know either of them personally. But by the same token, I don't know Cristina of Spain, Alexia of Greece or Martha Louise of Norway either and I like them. I just think that respect or appreciation for people needs to be earned, like in real life. And I just can't bring myself to automatically like either of these ladies just because they've married well.

Maybe in time I will grow to like Mary and her several dozen "first impressions" just didn't quite make the grade for me personally. But after 6-7 years of Marie-Chantal, I still can't muster up much like for her.

I'm not asking if Martha Louise and Marie-Chantal are friends. Marie-Chantal is a children's clothing designer. This is a question like saying "do you think Martha Louise wears Valentino." If I asked that question nobody would ask whether or not Martha Louise and Valentino are friends. This isn't about friends. I saw Maud Angelica's outfit and thought of Marie-Chantal, LTD. I've heard that Princess Alexandra of Hannover wears Marie-Chantal, LTD clothes. I also wonder about Princess Elisabeth of Belgium. Her little dresses and sweaters are adorable.

Are Marie-chantal´s kids-clothes so famous?! I haven´t any idea how to get her clothes...but I know where I would get Chanel, Dior...clothes.
Personally I´m not fond of dressing up little children with expensive clothes. They are growing so fast, and you influence your child (IMO) negatively, when you show him/her that early, that brands/labels are "important". Children can also look cute in less expensive clothes.

An very unusual photo of a Royal mum....but I have to say that I like it!

Interview with Märtha for the magazine, in which the photos are.

Great cover page with Martha Louise and little Maud! Very unique indeed and I also like it. I'm wondering what may be in store with Mette-Marit and her baby as per photographs such as this? Oh, how I wish I could speak and learn Scandavavian languages! :o

Maud Angelica's first Christmas -- and looking absolutely adorable!

[Fireweaver]

Little maud is getting rather tall. the way her legs are dangling make me think she's going to be over the average height for a girl :)

[Britters]

I don't want to start a huge discussion about this but I am going to reply to Lena's comment (and I mean no offense to you Lena I'm just stating the other side of things!)

The designer labels that you pay so much for are, a lot more often, of better quality. BEcause the designers are receiving such a large sum of money for each particular article of clothing, the designers and makers are able to use a higher quality of fabric.

Besides that, not many children know that Valentino or Fendi are these amazing designers that young. In fact up until they are in their teens most probably don't even understand the concept of "labels."

I also don't think that the Royals and what not dress their children in designer label fashion when the child is going to go and play outside or what not. But when they are going to church, or someplace where the family is sure to be photographed the parents are a bit more concious of that their child is wearing.
