Of course they can offord better. They may, like my neice, have found that their sweet baby daughter has a will of iron when it comes to her choice of clothing or shoes.

My lovely and beloved two-year-old neice somewhat surprisingly developed an obsessive passion for an old fashioned but lovely hand knitted lilac cardigan. Trying to separate the two to "co-ordinate" the outfit when going out was not worth the tears, so . . . . until she suddenly grew out of it or it was sneaked away for a wash, she wore it everywhere, including to bed!

They all looked so wonderful. Little Isabella has grown so much!

It is a word of appreciation. Thank you for taking the time to come and greet me. Very kind and appreciative.

[Santacruz]

Mhh, the way you said it was very kind indeed. But "It's very kind of you to come and see me" ? Nice words but a bit too much ME, IMO. Wasn't it about the Victor Chang Foundation? She was the guest to the event. Well, just my opinion..

[avrilo]

I thhink when she says it is after that little girl runs to hug her and give her the flowers, the video is edited, perhaps this people was shouting her name or something.

[marmi]

Yes you both have a point but I think that when you consider the age of the girl I find it unlikely that she is there purely for heart disease...
She was probably taught about it or lost a relative to it, but the appeal of meeting a "real life" princess must have been strong at her age...
I think so at least

They haven't included the oops! photos from this walk - where Fred hasn't noticed low-lying branches and Christian ducks away from three branches on different trees in succession! One of them gets him in the face (no damage done). Dad is probably thinking about his next visit to the polar ice caps! Amber shouldn't wear black leather jackets when the light is harsh ... Mary looks great. Casual and relaxed.

I just read the comments. Wow! They are harsh! I wonder if it is really true that there were hardly any people present and that they had to pull children out of school to stand in the background?

Sounds like the same small group of infamous internet people who complain and otherwise dislike everything Crown Princess Mary. Sad really... when a small handful of people whine about a woman with whom they never and will never meet.

[randomlyKeira]

^Exactly. And I especially hate people that seek out articles on people that they hate, but don't know at all. If they have such a problem with Mary, I find no reason that they should read, watch, or comment on articles concerning her. It's just their excuse to gripe.

Absolutely randomlyKeira.
Considering the population of Australia the ramblings of these few 'I'm not rich and famous so I'm going to bitch about anyone who is' is nothing to worry about. If very few were there to see Mary it is probably because the event wasn't that well advertised, it was the middle of the week or there was a footy final on. Hopefully one day she will come to Perth because I will definitely be there with my little Aussie/Denmark flag waving

Precisely! That was my immediate thought as well when I read the comments - it's like a deja vu of the comments of the mercifully dead Royal Blue.

But talk about having a life of your own - these people have been making the same kind of comments for what... 6 or 8 years now? You just have to pity them.

[Drottning]

What group of infamous internet people?

One of the comments was posted by Teresa Page who knows Mary from her old life in Sydney. She is the owner of " Starmaker" agency..

[sgl]

Since this commenter knew Mary, I wonder if her comments were true, or if she posted this out of spite. Does she not like Mary, or were they friends in the past?

[Santacruz]

Mary was Teresas customer. She took lessons at Teresas " Starmaker " agency after meeting Fred in Sydney in 2000.

Now do you honestly believe Teresa Page, the owner of "Starmakers" would publicly state something like that? The answer is, no. Clearly, that comment was made by either: A) Someone with the same name. B) A bitter internet gossipmonger who has nothing else better to do than to make up a faux story about what happened. Obviously, the latter is the correct answer.

With that being said, let's get back on topic and try to focus on the event itself, not cheesy gossip. Thank you
