Emma is so beautifuland she looks exactly like here father It`s a lovely family.

Apperently Princess Margriet read from the bible during the baptism and Prince Pieter-Christiaan read a letter to little Emma that was written by himself and his wife.

Mardam posted some nice images on ATR, I hope she won´t mind me posting the link to them here: http://www.royaltyguide.nl/images-sp...aptism%20Emma/

Apparently Prince Jaime was there too. But apart from him and Carlos jr. no other member of the RF, apart from the van Vollenhovens.

Why was not Maxima and WA in the baptism?

In just saw RTL boulevard and they had an item on the baptism.

They were surprised about the absence of Beatrix´ family and they had no explanation for it.

Thery talked shortly to Anita and PC. The reporter stared about racing, and if the prince was more carefull now he had a child. Anita noddedm aprovingly and later made a joke to the reporter that he should continue on this, obviously she doesn´t like her husband in a dangerous car

The reporter also talked shortly to Aimee, the pregnancy is going well.

Rene and Natasha Froger were late but they delayed the ceremony untill they arrived. I wonder if they would have done the same if HM was there, it would be rather odd to let her wait for such a thing.

Countess Alexandra was at Anita's wedding 2 years ago. She was one of her witnesses. She must be Anita's very close friend.. does anyone have more info ? Does anyone have any pictures of her from Emma's christening ??
