The media is upset because the family did not allow a photo shoot so they could get their own photos.

The British media just need to calm down. A select group of the media will get their own photos during the coverage of the Christening.
I don't understand the dislike of George's clothing. I found nothing wrong with his socks. I too wear high socks and I'm many many years older than George. It's better than ankle socks. That stuff just slips to the bottom of your feet.
I've never been a fan of how they dress George. The only cute outfit I've seen him in is the overalls when he was at the play date. William had more adorable clothing at his age. I remember rhis cute onsies (is that how u spell it) in Australia, then his blue snow suit about a year later.
Anyway, I think the photos are great and they look very professional. When George is looking down at Charlotte he resembles baby Kate, but most of the time he looks like Michael with blonde hair.
And on that cream color sectional

lol! I remember getting rid of all furniture that could be jumped on when my child was real young like that, just so discipline wasn't an issue. No sense in getting all upset over frivolous stuff one can eventually replace. Anyway, anything white, beige, cream, yellow, tan, etc. is just going to stain, makes no sense to have, unless of course you have a professional cleaning staff to help out, which I am glad someone does. I like dark colors, gothic and some steampunk decor, some fairy garden, I am kind of gloomy, but having children makes one let go of pretty much all of that, so I can empathize with just having white furniture lol, like all fresh and new, clean canvas. Then being all fussy and particular about items and sentimental about things I like that I own, it's like well when you have children, you have what they like and what is best for them. As they age you can have your stuff as long as it isn't a bad influence on them. But, yeah, the white sofa, definitely, if you can keep it clean, a reminder of fresh, bright, new changes to come that will go with all the wax paper to be drawn on all over the walls. My child is way older, we are all gamers here, so we have gotten past the toss the furniture before someone jumps on it, cover the floor in play rugs and walls in wax paper, but still such a dear time.
Less than a week to the christening and more photos.
It's 4 weeks till the christening on 5 July.
They have both a day and ?night nursery? where I would expect they spend the majority of the time and where all the toys and paraphanalia are. I can't see George coloring on walls or spilling juice on the furniture.

Hmm so the media winning about not seeing George is really winning about they can't get exclusive pictures to sell? George was last seen in May and everyone got to see and photograph him at the same time. On other places on the Internet I have actually seen complaints that the first time the public got to see him was in Australia and not in England?! What the hey?
We are the family you see in the grocery store with colanders on our heads
Queen Camilla, you're description sounds like the epitome of what aristocratic estate homes used to be like.
Although this may well be the case, for some reason, I don't think Will and Kate are that formal with the kids in one part of the house and the adults in another. I'm not tending to believe either that they have an overabundance of staff. I do think that for child play with finger paints or building blocks, he's got his own playroom for that but I think they would spend time as a family for meals.
I remember it being reported that when Will went to China, someone said that in George's presence and he went running to the china cabinet looking for Daddy. Kid obviously understands the concept of china and where its kept. Perhaps, with this in mind, we see just why the Cambridges put on the extra "family" kitchen at 1A.
That all sounds rather 19th or early/mid 20th century. I'm sure KP maintains somewhat that routine because of public visitors, however I highly doubt that Anmer Hall operates that way. The DOC was not raised that way and frankly I suspect William was not really raised in that kind of stifling atmosphere. It is after all, not Downton Abbey of the early 20th century.
What is being described is not 'stifling'. William had a very free-ranging childhood from what I've read (especially at Balmoral), but there were (some) limits and boundaries in the big houses. (Andrew describes freewheeling in his child's go cart down the halls of Buckingham Palace). Charles rough-housed with his sons in the nursery (not the formal sections of the house). The boys played outside around Highgrove. The nursery ran on schedule with parents showing up at various times during the day: Diana often having supper on trays in front of the telly with her sons, and Charles seeing to their baths. But this all took place within a regimen that allowed for freedom for the parents. The structure would have been experienced as normal, not stifling.
You write as though there have been 'leaks' about how the household is being run. We have no evidence that the Cambridge household is not running like a usual aristocratic (or wealthy) family household that employs servants. Once the servants are there one must allow for them and allow them their roles and places in the household to get their job done seamlessly. Just my two cents.
