It's a boy! Emmanuel Léopold Guillaume François Marie

[Danielane]

It's Emmanuel, not Emmanual.

when will we expect Philippe & Mathilde to announce Prince Emmanuel's baptism? it's now early december, and if they're going to have it mid-december, why haven't they announced it?

i'm sorry i'm getting anxious, i just want to see little emmanuel again, also with elisabeth & gabriel..

[Cathérine Bergeyck]

Because it's a private ceremony, it's only anounced a few days beforehand.

ok.. thank you for the info, catherine! so we will await...

[Hannelore]

Can we please start a current events and pictures thread for Emmanuel? He's to be baptized soon...

It's always so nice to find new pictures of this family. I haven't read any royal magazines for years, but there are lots of wonderful pictures and news items here. Thanks to everyone who contributes. Magazines come and go, and sometimes are tossed in the trash, but the internet is here forever.
