Eloise, Claus-Casimir and Leonore, News and Pictures Part 1: July 2003 - 2022

[moosey60]

Uh huh, suuuuure, I still think they look a freakish bit alike. Is it possible that Eloise has down syndrome? Come to think of it, does Alexandra of Hanover have that too? Hmmm...physically, they both do look a tad like they might. But they're cute kids, nonetheless.

There might be a slight comparison between "Superman" and Laurentien. As far as I know there is nothing seriously wrong with Countess Eloise.... Besides, that sort of thing would make its way into the media somehow.
I do know that Rosa Mockenton's (sic) daughter, Domencia (Princess Diana's God-daughter) has down syndrome. It is deeply sad when children are afflicted with a disorder or with an incurable illness.

 

[Fireweaver]

She does look like her mother, it's kind of cute
You're right though, if there was a medical condition, the press would have announced it by now. Down's Syndrome and CP aren't easy to hide, especially if you're in the spotlight alot.

From the Benelux royals message board, a new picture of Eloise and her grandma, Queen Beatrix.

Have any pictures of Prince Constantijn and Princess Laurentien's new baby boy been released yet?

Congratulation Princess Laurentine and Prince Constanjin

 

[Alexandria]

I have only seen pictures of Prince Constantijn and Princess Laurentien leaving the hospital with the baby. I think with the royal court in official mourning and Queen Juliana's funeral this week, we may not see pictures until official court mourning is over, after the Easter weekend, I believe. But something to look forward to, I guess. And hopefully new pictures of Eloise, too.

Not reallyonly of Claus but of Laurentien and him quitting the hospital:

Where did they get casimir maurius and max from? I understand the claus and bernhard parts of the baby's name (and a sweet way to include the late prince and the elderly prince) but I'm baffled by the other names!

Casimir is a name used for several (at least 4) generations in the Dutch royal family.

Marius is the name of Lauretien's brother (not for Mette-Marit of Norway's young son Marius as some might think!)

Max for Constantijn's godfather Max Kohnstamm, who spoke at his and Laurentien's civil wedding service.

 

[Fireweaver]

Not Yet. The closest was the bundled up baby (no face!) of his mom and dad leaving the hospital. I'm hoping they do release something soon.

 

[Alexandria]

The Dutch royal court is still in official mourning for Queen Juliana, which runs through Easter. So maybe pictures will be taken of the family during the Easter break and realeased after. With the royal court in official mourning status it is probably not right to release pictures of a happy family.

Here's the first official photo. It's a lovely one.

What a beautiful photo. Little Eloise has grown so much, and Claus-Casimir is a cutie.

 

[samitude]

Here's one more photo.

[samitude]

Isn't that the same outfit that the queen wore when Eloise was first presented in photographs?

 

[konan]

No it is not the same outfit. At the presentation of Eloise she wore a grey/blue dress with small white stripes.

I have not found a bigger version of the one of just Claus-Casimir yet.

 

[moosey60]

Countess Eloise is a big sister now. There are some very nice family pictures in her brother's thread.

 

[Alexandra]

Are there any pictures of little Eloise? I seem to have seen pictures of her only when she was newly born. And one very new on Netty's page just now.
