Sorry again!!!

 

[SpiffyBallerina]

Mathilde is looking more and more beautiful!

 

[emsaeva]

Okay...I have been a royal watcher for years and years, and I have been afraid to ask this question because I know I would stupid. Okay....How exactly does one pronounce Mathilde? I have been thinking that it is like Matilda....am I on the mark or completly daft???

 

[emsaeva]

Thanks!! I have not seen these before

 

[Gabriella]

What a strange look on Mathilde's face on the first pic of her at the UNICEF meeting that Alexandria posted. She almost looks as though she is sick. Her face is flushed and she doesn't look as though she feels well. It was probably just the way the picture was taken. I wonder what she was really thinking. Maybe she was disgusted by something?

 

[Dennism]

I think she was probably just saddened by what she heard from the guy there or the girl next to her.

Ironically, the program is called "'What do you think?"

Wonderful pictures Jelka! Thanks for sharing them. How long with Phillippe and Mathilde be in England for? Wonder if they'll meet up with the British royals?

They're just going to visit an exposition tomorrow in London: "Illuminating the Renaissance" in the Royal Academy of Arts. They'll probably be back February 1st

 

[Dennism]

Nice quick trip on the Eurostar. Good for them. Mathilde looks lovely as usual.

 

[shellzbythesea]

I wonder if they will visit Amadeo while they are in England?

[Alexandria]

Great pictures, thanks for sharing them, Jelka.

 

[Lady Jean]

Mrs. Annan is another very elegant woman. I love seeing her participating in events with her husband, and here she is with Mathilde.

 

[Dennism]

Great photos. I like that color on Mathilde. I wonder what was wrong with that little girl though.

 

[Hannelore]

Maybe all the attention made her a bit nervous?

 

[Alexandria]

I like how the colour of Mathilde's suit co-ordinated with Phillippe's tie!

[Dennism]

Great photos. However, they still take up a bunch of bandwidth though. Don't post photos directly.

 

[Cathérine Bergeyck]

OK, I'll keep it in mind.

 

[Dennism]

No problem. Mathilde really looks great in these photos.
