Very cute with Estelle wanting a hamster, i hope she gets one :lol:
 
Ah the twins are denied then, I was hoping and thought for sometime that she would be expecting twins but I guess I am wrong.

Thanks for the articles.

That's because it's triplets!!!! :D

See how these rumors start....
 
I agree 100% this how normal women look. This whole twin thing is just crazy as you say just because she's not model thin doesn't mean twins !! It means she's having a healthy normal pregnancy

There is no "normal". Some women look like Victoria when pregnant, some like Sofia, some like Madeleine, some like Catherine, and so on...

You can't criticize people for commenting on Victoria's shape, then go on and put her on a pedestal and say she's how "normal" pregnant women look when having a "healthy" pregnancy. If a women stays "model thin" during her pregnancy, it doesn't mean she's having an abnormal and unhealthy pregnancy. You're generalizing just like the posters you're frustrated with.

I agree with Mbruno that people were presuming twins because of the IVF assumption. I think it was also a matter of wishful thinking, they want Victoria to have a medium/large family and they're worried she won't be able to get pregnant again. Yeah, the posts are annoying but they come from a place of hope.
 
When was it announced that Charlene was carrying twins ? I don't follow the princely family of Monaco, but, if I am not mistaken, it wasn't until late in her pregnancy.

I'm just saying that, if Victoria is pregnant with twins, it is not a given that the Royal Court would already have made that information public by now.

The Swedish royal house would not keep possible twins a secret. Would do absolutely nothing for the PR for the royal family.

Goodness I didn't think I put her on a pedestal don't know where that come from. But if you don't like the word normal swap it for average. She looks like the average woman looks IMO
 
I'm laughing sooo hard at the answer about the hamster!!!!

You could tell Victoria was debating the answer. :flowers: I suspect she was doing some double and triple thinking in the instant, knowing that if she mentioned any preference it would appear to give the game away. (I think they know the sex of the baby). In many ways it was an impossible question to answer honestly, because any which way answered, it sets up unlooked for possibilities into the future. The hamster answer was just a joke (imo), and with Daniel making a joke of the joke, the newspapers decided to oblige and we have a trifecta (of jokes!)! :flowers:
 
I wouldn't be surprised if they had come up with hamster-joke a long tme ago, preparing themselves to the kind of question that those journalists might ask. Such a question was bound to come up at some point.

In this case it was a super-diplomatic answer.
Imagine the headline: Estelle would have preferred a baby **** (brother/sister) and the opposite sex finally was born, then the headline may have been:
"Estelle is unhappy about sex of sibling"

Uuaaaarrrgh :bang:

I agree, it was a diplomatic answer! And I wonder if we will soon hear that that she got a hamster for Christmas? Luckily there is something like peaceful co-existence between hamsters and babies.:p

I hope so!

My guess is that like most children, Estelle wants a sibling of the same gender. If Victoria and Daniel want to surprise the world with the gender, then I doubt they will tell a three-year-old who attends preschool that it's a baby brother or sister.
 
I was hoping for twins, but all that matters it that this baby is healthy and will one day support Estelle! So, I send my best wishes to this gorgeous family!

One of the girls I went to high school with has three younger siblings who are triplets; two girls and a boy. They were all in the school band, and they all played tennis, badminton and volleyball.

Very true. Prince Joachim and Prince Charles have both blurted out their preferences in terms of the gender of Nikolai, Felix and Athena, and Charlotte, respectively, and it has low-key shocked me every time and left me assuming that they knew the genders beforehand because otherwise that's just... not something you should say out loud as a public person.

I also agree that she most likely wants a sister – when my mum was having my younger sibling, I wanted a sister, too (and later came to regret that that wish came true :cool: :p), so I think that's quite normal, to want a sibling of your own gender. Or perhaps she's so smitten with little Nicolas that she wants a baby brother.
 
Estelle and I will openly admit to being a fan may be a an heir but this is one occasion when she will be grateful for what she is given. I would like them all to be healthy and happy.
 
I agree

It's rude to ask her if she is having twins.
Dear Royal.Night, In my humble opinion it is rude to ask a woman such a personal question. This is also a person who is the public eye but that does not make her public property, in my humble opinion.

Yes, it is very rude. I had complete strangers asking me if I was carrying twins with my second daughter.

Some people are overly sensitive, are unfriendly, and have absolutely no sense of humor. You obviously took those comments way too seriously. Hopefully one day you will learn not to be so nitpicky and be more forgiving.

Dear NotHRH,
I am a very non-nitpicky and very forgiving person, I assure you. :) And from friends and people I know, I would indeed react exactly as you suggest. It is just the unasked and without any introductory (is that a word?) words like "congratulations", from complete strangers, that bothered me.

Yes "introductory" is an appropriate word in your sentence. And from your answer, I can tell that you do have a wonderful sense of humor and that you are a forgiving person. A person's response to an accusation tells if the accusation was on target or not - my assumption was wrong, my bad! ;-):sly:
 
I think that Europeans are rather more formal in their speech, especially to strangers, than are Americans, particularly people from the American South. (I grew up in Louisiana.)

I agree. :flowers: Definitely some cultural differences operating here.

I grew up in and still live in Louisiana. Small world.
 
Swedes in general are very informal in speech and manners compared to South Europeans. Informal but not disrespectful though I know that many women find questions about their pregnancies to be much to intrusive.

:previous: I believe you are right, she will give birth in the same hospital as before. Of course, they could also have fitted out Haga with a state of the art Delivery Suite complete with specialists on call.....:pigsfly:
