Wow. I think that's really strange. Why the secrecy? Pictures of Louise were released days after she was born. I realize the twins were premature but now that they're safe at home, I would've thought they'd release one family picture. And Astrid and Philippe's children all received some form of media-exposure when they were newborns.

Hmmmm...

Not usually very soon. It can happen but the date is to the parents' choice.

All babies are measured as soon as they are born, whether they are royal or not.

Please stop this incessant whining about lack of pictures. As stated before by another moderator, don't fill up the thread asking/whining about pictures when there are none. If and when the couple decide to hold a photosession for the twins, you'll see the pictures here.

If the thread takes the above line of discussion, it will be CLOSED.

Well, I'm glad Pdas1201 posted such a warning! I found it pretty annoying to read always the same whining knowing that when we'll have pics or informations, there will be immediately posted.
The twins were premature, surely still fragile, why should Laurent and Claire release photos only to please royal-watchers if they want privacy for Nicolas and Aymeric?

we'll see them when their parents will think it is most suitable. the most important thing is that they are now fine!

I just read that Prince Laurent doesn't want any pictures taken at the moment, because he considers them "a little bit ugly". I guess seeing how some babies were discussed on other boards (some of the comments being pretty nasty IMO), he is probably right to protect them from public scrutiny. He said though that they are doing fine and apparently they weigh about 5 kg now, which is not a bad weight at this age.
