The Duke and Duchess of Vendôme: June 2009-

[iceflower]

You are most welcome Another chance to see little Gaston,
this time in the UK:

Prince Jean d'Orleans (with family) gave a speech in presence of the
the major of Twickenham and the major of Chantilly at the Orleans
House in Twickenham, London, May 11, 2010. Prince Jean d'Orleans
was starting a five-day bike ride for a team of 10 cyclists from
Twickenham to Chantilly, France.

I think it's nice we get to see Gaston regularly since his birth !

[Katrianna]

It's so cute to see Gaston's parents dote on him. I love the smile on Prince Jean's face whenever he looks at his son.

It's kind of unusual that they take him to official events, but in my
eyes it's wonderful that they are doing so - yesterday all three
attended a ceremony in Paris and once again you can see the
parents' joy..

Prince Jean d'Orleans, Princess Philomena, their son Prince Gaston
and French culture minister Frederic Mitterand took part at a wreath
laying ceremony to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the death
of King Henri IV. The ceremony took place on Rue de la Ferronerie -
the Parisian side street where King Henri was assassinated. Paris,
France, May 14, 2010.

Thanks for photos!
I have to say that Duke and Duchess of Vendome are awfully fortunate to have such a calm baby as Prince Gaston.

[Katrianna]

Thank you iceflower! I love the fourth picture!

It seems that Luis Alfonso de Borbon, for the legitimists duke of Anjou, also attended the commemoration. Nice that the two men can attend this together without Italian scenes (the incident between the prince of Naples and the duke of Aosta in Madrid, 2004 ).

Prince Charles Emmanuel of Bourbon-Parma and his wife Constance also attended the mass.

After they brought little Gaston home (I hope), they were present at a party near the statue of Henri IV at Pont Neuf in Paris:

And indeed, Paris is well worth a mass .

The duke and duchess of Vendome attended the birthday celebrations of prince Radu in Bucharest.

Cory, what would be the reason the Duke wouldn't attend. I'm just curious, thank you.

[Cory]

Only the Duchess de Vendome and her son Gaston attended.I don't know why the Duke de Vendome was absent.

Thank you Cory, I thought it might have been a serious reason for the Duke's absence.

White jeans are not a good look when you've just had a baby !
She looks extremely tired

[Lumutqueen]

She does look tired, and rather odd in that outfit.

Let's say the truth, the girl around the corner has usually a better hair
