I agree, you can see the absolute delight on her face when she's interacting with her grandchildren. I'm sensing that she probably loves children in general. Lucky kids!

You use (past) see Prince Henrik and Queen Margrethe with Prine Joachim two sons, Felix and Nikolai a lot, now I have rarely seen them with their Grandparents. We do see a lot of pictures of the Crown Prince Couple and Prince Christian with the Grand Parents. Sure is a beautiful family.

HM Queen Elizabeth with the Princess Royal & Zara



An interesting note: The horse HM is riding is mother to the other two!

They are a beautiful family. We probably don't see them as much with Nikolai and Felix because the boys are older than Prince Christian and Lille Princesse. They are at school, and with their mother and step-father, so they may not have as much time to see their grandparents as they used to. We'll probably see some of that as Christian and his sister grow up as well.

I still would like to see Prince Joachim and the two boys at more Royal Family gatherings. Lately they seldom are seen at family get togethers.

Thanks for posting those pics!

Margrethe looks in awe at Lillepigen, like "OMG, we finally got a granddaughter!"

That little girl is gonna be spoiled rotten by her parents, grandparents, brother and cousins

Queen Sofia is such a lovely Grandma! She just seems to get the balance perfect woth her working and private life.

I would like to be a fly on the wall when QEII is with her grandchildren in private. I wonder what she is like with them? She has so many, and their ages vary so much.

Queen Sofia is so great! We've seen her loving and hugging and kissing on every one of her grandchildren (except Infanta Sofia, who we haven't seen in public, but is definately getting some love from Grandma at home!) and they seem to adore her. My favorite picture is Miguel's birthday, when he and Victoria are hugging on to Queen Sofia's leg and she's just beaming. She is so proud of her grandkids!

It's an old photo, but a very sweet one:

Does anybody have the video of Miguel's birthday? Queen Sofia was an excellent grandmother then, very thrilled to be with her grandkids.

Wouldn't it be great if we all had a man like Miguel!!!

Bringing his grandmother flowers, which delighted her, and he seemed to be delighted to give them to her!!

Queen Sofia and King Juan Carlos are lucky. They have four beautiful granddaughters and four dashing grandsons! You can tell from all of the pictures that they have loved being grandparents from the second Felipe (he's the oldest grandchild, isn't he?) came into the world.

Another great picture was when Juan, Pablo, and Miguel were being a little too loud during Cousin Leonor's baptizm, and Abuela Sofia had to scold them. I loved Letizia's face as well. It was somewhere between an amused look and an annoyed look.

I just found a remarkable picture, one I've never seen before:

Queen Frederika with her granddaughters Elena, Cristina and Alexia in Greece, circa 1966-1967
