Royal Children (August Informal Picture of the Month Poll)

[LadyK]

Welcome to the
August 2010 Informal POM poll
featuring
Royal Children!

The pictures in this poll show the informal side of royalty. It will close on 4 October 2010. During this time, we ask that NO ONE STATE WHOM THEY'VE VOTED FOR so as not to influence other members as they make their choices. After the poll closes, you can discuss as much as you'd like about which image you voted for and why.
This month, our Picture of the Month representatives had help in selecting their images with a small committee of their choosing. Below, you can see each royal house's representative (in bold) followed by their chosen committee members.

The pictures are lovely... is not easy to choose!

The picture of Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus of Norway is very sweet.
I'm suspect to talk about the photo of the Princes of Belgium because I love that royal family, but in my opinion, I really think that Princess Elisabeth is very similar to Queen Paola. The Prince Gabriel reminds me of King Albert and his father, prince Emmanuel remind me of his uncle, Laurent, and Princess Eleonore looks like her mother, Mathilde.
What do you think?

Well, it depends a lot on the children's facial expressions in the chosen picture, i.m.o. -with regard to that I would confirm all your observances! But more generally speaking, I think that Prince Gabriel is the spitting (male) image of his mother. Prince Emmanuel mostly reminds me of his father as a little boy (perhaps also a bit of King Albert as a child), whereas Princess Elisabeth appears as an interesting mix of her parents who does indeed inherit some noteworthy facial features from her grandma, Queen Paola.

My favourite is definitely the pic of Ingrid Alexandra and Sverre Magnus. I love how Ingrid's hand is on her brother's shoulder. So cute!!!!

[dianahayden]

Really difficult for me to choose, but I think photo of Princess Victoria and Prince Carl Philip hold Princess Madeleine is so quiet.

[badmood]

So cute so wonderful !

The winners were so adorable, especially Ingrid and Sverre. But I loved to see some of the old ones like Sweden and Monaco. It was also nice the ones from Brunei and Morocco we don't see those kids as often.
