Sure. Why not? This is dec. 12th today - the x-mas photoshoots are never done before dec. 20th! So have a little patience...

Queen Sonja read "How the snow got color" by Dan Lindholm for the grandchildren. Prince Sverre Magnus was concerned about the Christmas tree and had a little trouble sitting still, while big sister Ingrid Alexandra was more attentive during the shoot.

I miss seeing Princess Martha Louise's and her family. But I guess they're keeping it a simple as possible.

Marius

I say Marius resembles a young Leonardo DiCaprio. Which means the girls are going to love him, if they don't already.

Marius IS A REAL Cutie-Pie! So dashing. Great photos of the Royal family of Norway, thanks for posting, love the traditional attire, the fabrics are amazing!

Good photos of the family. Sverre seems not to be enjoying it that much, tough... He's cute, looks like a man in miniature. Ingrid seems to have a very special relationship with her grandmother.

It's nice to see how both Sverre and Ingrid are sat on that sofa. I always wondered how would it be to live in a palace, that sometimes look more lika museum than a home. I always wondered if they were very careful not to break anything or something... I imagined parents telling their kids. "don't put your shoes in the sofa, it is very special, it belonged to your great-great-great-great grandfather!" and things like that. So it's nice to see they can actually feel kind of comfortable there

I see that resemblance, too. He's going to be a heartbreaker.

Their clothes are so dark, are they still in mourning with MM brother ? Her bunad is gorgeous !

fortimo · #**512** 12-20-2011, 03:50 AM

They seems a little bit bored and not really happy... The other christmasphototermins years ago were more relaxed. My favorite was in 2008 at the park of Skaugum. It was very nice and familiar.

There's nothing for the kids to do. In the past, they were photographed at activities like decorating a gingerbread house, baking and playing in the snow. I liked those videos. Are they still going to do that this year, or is this all we will see?

Duke of Marmalade · #**514** 12-20-2011, 07:44 AM

I'd rather dont see no photos rather than those. It all looks very bored and uninspired, is it supposed to be original?
The "I dont want to be here" look on their faces is stunning. Whats the point of a holiday card showing bored adults and tired kids?

agami.pearl · #**515** 12-20-2011, 09:10 AM

Agreed, I don't see 'Christmas spirit' on these pictures, rather bored faces, children's especially. One posed card would be better than series like this.

rominet09 · #**516** 12-20-2011, 06:56 PM

But a wonderful bunad for Mette-Marit ! I love it !

blauerengel · #**517** 12-20-2011, 09:32 PM

I like the pictures,even though they don´t radiate so much joy and festive spirit like other christmas photographs.To me it seems as if the photographer took the pictures without arranging the familiy to sit/stand in a certain way or making them say "cheese" so they all smile - this gives them a genuine quality because it seems just like taken out of real life.I especially adore Queen Sonja´s colourful dress,it is very beautiful and it´s great that the royal family is proud in wearing their local traditional dresses.

Duke of Marmalade · #**518** 12-21-2011, 02:47 AM

I dont get Queen Sonja reading and nobody bothers listening

sofajr · #**519** 12-21-2011, 11:24 AM

This year Christmas greetings look awkward to me.
Nothing special but still beautiful bunads. On the other hand they at least would bother to listen the Queen for at least 10 min rather than make faces of being too tired to stand still.
Ingrid looks great with that hair, like a grown princess.

Patra · #**520** 12-21-2011, 12:06 PM

My favorite was the year they were playing in the HUGE gingerbread house- those pictures were cute!
