Isabella and Christian just always captivate me. Their piercing blue eyes draw one's attention and leave a person breathless. I'm sure the Danish Royals are proud to be so fortunate to have such a lovely family. It was good to have seen Mary's relatives as well. Traveling of Australia must be a nice nostalgia and to reminisce amongst one's former home land can be inspirational. I hope they had a good trip and find their attendings worthy. The entire family looks happy and healthy. It's nice to see.

the pictures are lovely. the kids are so cute, christian is such a darling and isabella is a doll. she does seem to have a temper though and to be a bit more grumpy than christian, always smiling and joyful! i think mary said that as well at some point.

mary's dress in sydney was great, i didn't like the print too much but the cut was so flattering! it's also nice to see her in something else than black, which she chose a couple of times lately.

in terms of the photo opps, i think the two official ones (the zoo in hobart and the sydney governors house) were meant to make up for the photoshoot in grasten maybe (when they got stuck in the traffic) and to provide an official photoshoot during their trip to australia.

a nice and rare pic that i really liked of isabella being carried by her cousins here.

I absolutely love the purple suit she wore yesterday.
But it is not so much the outfit. She looks radiant, a little tanned, just simply happy, she really has been looking happy the last weeks

The photoshot was great. Great, great photos.
The kids are so magnificicent, they look so much like their parents. This family simply looks so love each other's company, and all I can say is that I hope for a family extension again soon.

Mary's makeup and outfit at the last 3 official duties (evening black dress, evening grey/beige dress, and daytime purple suit) has been absolutely GORGEOUS.

Denmark is , all in all, lucky, oh so lucky , to have this family as their crown princely one

I love seeing the children, they are growing too fast.

The princess looked marvelous in purple. Unfortunately the stitching around her breasts looked very crass. The rest of the outfit looked very lovely.

Thanks, and yes, we are

[melmel]

if you look at the pictures on the royal.web-log.nl website you can see that there is a hole in Isabella shoes. it is the last picture in the series. i know they can afford better.

[Lilla]

Yes there is a hole and yes, they can afford better so perhaps it is the only shoos they can make her wear.....children that age can have a very strong will.....................

Very cute photos! I love the one where Isabella is crawling away. She has such a mischevious look on her face.

[Royal Fan]

sweet little children .

[Greenmachine]

Isabella may have insisted on wearing those shoes, my kids have their favourites. Kids can really dig their toes in about these things!

[Aurora810]

I finally got a peek at some of the pics. Very informal. Didn't expect Mary to be in jeans, not that there's anything wrong with that. Ugly shoes on Isabella. Okay jacket on Christian. Wish these parents would dress their kids a little cuter though.

I must say, the kids are getting big very quickly. These children both seem large for their ages. I don't believe that Fred and Mary are particularly large people although there is height in this family. But their children seem to have big-boned structures. I find it kind of odd, considering what their parents look like. Although the genes are the genes. They could have inherited those large frames from grandparents. If I didn't know what their ages were I would easily mistake them to be older than they are.

They can wear through the toe of a shoe very very quickly when they are crawling trust me. It was probably a good pair when they left denmark....

You can't stay indoors forever. Children need to run an play. When the go outside the paps are all over them. They cannot duck and run or go crazy on the paps. As royals they need to dressed well at all times. As far as doing things w/ patronages. She is in Australia only a few times. She mainly works with them by phone, email and fax. Why should she not visit them? Celebrities get photographed pumping gas, going into a club, out to eat, with their kids in a park, going to get coffee, coming out of the grocery store etc. Mary and Fred are in somewhat the same position. But they handle it better than some "Stars."

As for Isabella's shoes, my guess is she got them scuffed up in Australia. It does not take much. They could also be the only shoes she will wear. My son always want to wear his Elmo shirt no matter what. Also, he always picks his sandals over his tennis sh oes.

No you don't. Please think about Princess Anne, Camilla, f.e. -it rather depends on how you define your job.

Well, as far as I know Fred & Mary have been photographed in situations like that , too! Do they handle it better? I am not sure. They have to act more conservative and with more dignity as stars normally do. That is because the majority of Royalists is conservative.( Always know you target audience ..)
