I have standards which I apply to everyone, no matter if they are my favourites or not. It's actually the other way round. If someone meets my standards I like him (better), if he doesn't he falls from grace (in this case Victoria who actually used to be one of my favourites).
Neither Maxima nor Mary did bring their babies to the weddings in their families (Maxima could have in 2004 to Friso's, Mary in 2008 to Joachim's). That's a fact. Nor did those couples feel the need to show their love for each other quite so demonstratively.
If they had I would have critizised it and questioned the reason behind it.
(Kissing on the deck of the ship which is like a stage, visible for everybody. I am sure Victoria was totally unaware that there might be photographers around. She is only in the media's eye since 36 years. So how should she know? And for the record: If pics of Frederik&Mary or Haakon&Mette-Marit kissing on the deck of the boat turn up I will criticize them too.)
Estelle's presence in the church and absence in Drottningholm is just one detail of the whole picture. Yes, all royal houses/couples need good publicity but none of the other European RFs released as many pics/videos of their little one or brought the child along to as many public engagements at a very early age.
It's all about degrees and nuances for me.
But I agree that there are a lot of people with double standards here and there is a tendency to be more forgiving towards those we like than towards those we don't like.
so cute....

Seems to me that the Dutch royals media code plan is being adopted by another royal family. I like that this would allow the royal children to have an opportunity to be free from prying paps, while allowing the public to view photographs from time to time.I just want to comment about one detail. The court and the swedish press actually has an agreement that they will publish pictures of Estelle on a regular basis. In exchange, the swedish press will not send paparazzis after them and not publish pics taken by paparazzis. It has worked out quite well, methinks.
AWWWWW, Prince Daniel looks like an amazing father, he looked like he was having a lot of fun!! Good for him!These gifs. Prince Daniel and Estelle
