I must say that Queen Sonja didn't come out nice on these official pics, that is her hat brim is shadowing her eyes, on both pics

And for Ingrid Alexandra, what a cute girl. I especially like the fact that she seems to be an independent young lady. Knowing what she want. When CP Mette-Marit read from the bible, Ingrid Alexandra kept saying Mamma repeatedly (like kids do untill the person wanted reacts to the call :) ).

And also during the christening act itself, she refused to stand with the others (by a loud and clear NO!) and sat in the stairs. Precious, I think

You can see on the pic where Mary is sitting that she has a very bad way to do it crossing her legs ( I observed yet for Christian's christening ) It's not elegant at all for a woman to cross her legs when she wear skirt; it's not very distinguished even more for an oficial act. Have a look none of the women of the first row did it . I remenber my mother told me that in the past ....Pay attention Mary, you are now a princess and you aren't in riding coat....

[puresnow]

he is very cute...

hehe~~

I like the outfit of Queen Sonja very much. That colous fit her very well, imo.
I don't like the outfits of Mette-Marit and Maxima, too dark for a christening, specially because they are the mother and the godmother, respectively.

Norway's Prince Sverre Magnus Baptized
..................Crown Princess Mette-Marit red the lesson from the Gospel of Matthew, and Kari Bremnes sang "Et lite barn som kommer" (A little Child a'coming), a song she had written for the Prince's baptism.
Sverre Magnus' baptismal dress was made by The Prince's great grandmother, Princess Ingeborg in 1920...............
