Thank you for this link!

This is such a magical time for families ...

I'm going to think up something special to write because today is my first wedding anniversary and my son is one month old today so I'm in an especially happy and thankful mood ... I might even try my hand at writing it in Dutch Well, that may be pushing it!!

I am so happy for them!!!
I wish every happiness to the little girl!!

 

[Emily]

Thank you for the photos, Mandyy! Aren't these two women friends from their school days?

 

[Empress]

On the Dutch Royal website, it says that Leonore ( and I assume Eloise and Claus-Casimir) will be members of the Royal HOUSE until the Prince of Orange becomes King. They will remain members of the Royal Family, just as Beatrix's sisters have. One way to keep the royal house small. I believe the scandinavian Royal families do the same.

Thank you for the photos, Mandyy! Aren't these two women friends from their school days?

From their university days I believe. The two lived in the same house in Leiden & stayed friends afterwards. I believe Mrs. Brinkhorst made some extra money as mannequin in those days as well btw.

I really want to see pictures now. Im sure she will be just as cute as all the children in this family. This is off topic but if someone can help me id b grateful lol. Everytime i try 2 upload a picture for my profile it fails and i hav no idea why cos the files arent 2 big! Any ideas wud be helpful

 

[corazon]

when they will leave the hospital? june 7?

 

[Emily]

Thanks, Marengo....I thought I recalled something about the two. Mrs. Brinkhorst has very strong features -- looks more like an intellectual than a mannequin, IMO!

 

[Marengo]

Well, it is possible to be both I assume, so Eva Sannum might be fooling us

 

[Royalsa]

when they will leave the hospital? june 7?

I thought they left the hospital Sunday morning?!

 

[Royal Fan]

you mean they already left. but theres no photos of the baby??

 

[Royalsa]

No, I think they will come tomorrow (tomorrow will be the "declaration" - I don't know if this is the right word, but I hope you understand me - of the baby)

http://www.koninklijkhuis.nl/content.jsp?objectid=16025

If not, they will come this week (I think).

 

[magnik]

No, I think they will come tomorrow (tomorrow will be the "declaration" - I don't know if this is the right word, but I hope you understand me - of the baby)

Registering. Normally, they (f.ex. WA or Maurits) comes without babies.

 

[Marengo]

Maybe we are to impatient. I believe the first pictures of Eloise and Claus-Casimir took some time as well, Luana took even longer, much longer. I think that only the crownprince showed both of his daughters within a few hours, as they will be the most important members of the Royal House in the future.

 

[Maxie]

I agree, Marengo. We will see Leonore eventually. There's no need to worry about that.

 

[Princess Robijn]

Leonore is so cute, I'm scanning the pictures at this moment... maybe it will take a while, because my scanner is really slow (my other one has to be repaired)

edit:
The pictures are from 'Weekend' and scannend by myself, please don't use these scans on a club (www.clubs.nl) or a web-log (www.web-log.nl) because I'm placing them on my own.

I would say that he is the only one who looks like dad... And I consider him a very handsome man. Even his physical completion is different from his brothers'.

I can't say I love the babies snapshots taken this way, but it is so nice from parents to share it with us. The Countess looks healthy and I'm sure she will look different next time we see her. Parents must be thrilled and can't imagine the excitment of big sister with such a doll to play and share the purses ...

Congratulations!
