So far they have only shown themselves publicly at an official occasion of this kind once and that was July 12th last year. They didn't even attend their grandfathers funeral service and Antoinettes grandchildren were passed off as Rainiers grandchildren by TV commentators. So far I have seen 3 seats in the church opposite Alberts seat, so I suspect that the Casiraghis might attend (though the kneeling part wasn't there this afternoon so it could have been for some priests too - guess we will have to wait and see). In any case I think it is highly unlikely that they will show themselves. They might be there, but you have to remember that for children at any age it is a fairly uneventful and boring occasion. There are plenty of officials being dined and vined in the background, talking about a lot of boring things (from the point of view of the average child and possibly even the average adult who isn't into listening to to meaningless talk  ) So if they don't show, I personally find nothing wrong with them not even being in the palace, but rather spending some quality and fun time with their respective fathers, enjoy the last nice warm days of fall in the sun and join up with mum and the rest of the family later, when they did what they had to do and have a nice relaxing afternoon. I know that watchers would love to get some recent pics, but for their own sake I hope they get to spend it in a more child suitable manner.

I like the way Stephanie has styled her hair for these events this week. It takes years off of her face! Maybe it's her makeup, not so much her hair, but whatever it is, she should keep doing it! It has been awhile since she has been this beautiful. I don't mean that as a criticism. I thought she was very pretty at last year's national day as well, but this week, she is prettier than I have ever seen her for so long. I am so happy to see her looking so well.

Steph looked stunning, Caro looked like she was going back to catholic girl school. and all in all they looked very serious and not very smiley. Ad we had a premier: Albert was on time for the service. Bravo. Apart from that same as usual. The police from York/Canada was there to play ( they were here since about Thursday, at least that's when we first heard them)

I have to say I loved Caro's outfit from yesterday, I'm not soo sure what to think of her outfit today, a bit strange. But it is soo great to see little Alexandra again. So cute...
Some of my favourite pics so far:
Alex and Charlotte
Alex and Albert

She is beautiful as always, but dresswise I think she should get some advise from her aunt who seems to have risen to be the smartest dresser in the family at present. Dresswise she was definetely the most stunning. Abert looks like he has lost quite a bit of weight, but he doesn't smile as much as he used to. He probably feels the weight of the job. JMO

Alex seemed to be very bored, as any little girl would probably be by a long and tedious ceremony.

Some pictures of this morning
You're right, tbhrc .... and these pictures of Alexandra are so very cute.
After all these years and again and again every year I can't get over the fact that Louis, Pauline and Camille are missing in these pics !
