Royal Grandparents (April 2010 Informal Poll)

[LadyK]

Welcome to the
April 2010 Informal POM poll
featuring
Royal Grandparents and Grandchildren!

The pictures in this poll show the informal side of royalty. It will close on 4 June 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.[/CENTER]

The link to the picture of Beatrix with Luana and Zaria does not work for me.

My favourite picture here was the one from Belgium, but the first two winning pictures were very sweet as well. I was particularly amused by seeing Queen Beatrix and her granddaughter Luana laugh out loud in the exact same manner!
