Friso and Mabel of Holland baptize their daughter Luana

Luana, the daughter of prince Friso and her woman, Mabel Wisse, received baptismal waters in a ceremony strictly deprived in the palace of Huis ten Bosch, in Is It. The small one, which it was born the past 26 of March, received the names of Emma Luana Ninette Sophie. Luana, as the small one is well-known, means "happy and satisfied" in hawaiano.

yeah. this is more than i was expecting.

my favorite part of it all, though, was the paparazzi shots of the little oranjes playing on the steps of the palace though. that was like something from a story book.

(and i know paparazzi photos are evil, but as long as they're out there i think its better that a true royalty lovers like us look at them-someone who'll appreciate it)

taking a closer look at the photos (all courtesy of ltr)

the baptism dress wore by Countess Luana is definitely a mini-version of Mabel's wedding dress...
how cute...

There is a close-up picture of Luana, but I don't know what the source is so I can't post it here. The link to the picture is:http://www.allthingsroyal.nl/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=427&view=findpost&p=16217

Purple Platinum -- Thank you for all the wonderful photos. I especially love the one of Anna and Isabella walking and looking at each other (Eloise is in the background). It is easy to imagine them doing the same thing as 40 year olds -- nothing like lifelong friends!

Zonk · Dec 21, 2005

Does anyone know the names of the godparents? The pics are great! I love Mabel's outfit. And let's hope the baby grows out of the bow fetish

susan alicia · Dec 21, 2005

indeed, high time she got that out of her system

Luana will need so much therapy when she grows up.

instead of "no more wire hangers" it'll be "no more bows."

Thanks Patrick, it's great to see the little one in close-up!

I think she is a little Mabel clone, even without the bows...
And that's the last thing I'm going to say about those silly bows for a long time... I hope...

Gloriana · Dec 22, 2005

I think she's a real Oranje-baby.

mirrjam · Dec 22, 2005

she is so cute, she has the same serious look in her eyes; just like her daddy!

Marengo · Dec 22, 2005

Is Luana the only one of this generation who is NOT baptised in an historic gown? I believe the others all used a piece which wass first used on Queen Wilhelmina. Is she wearing the small diamond baptism brooch/pin?

Marengo · Dec 22, 2005

I now wonder if the 'Emma' in Luana's name is for Queen Emma, which we assumed, ofr after her goidmother, former euro-commisioner Emma Bonino. Considering the lack of tradition the couple show I now opt for the last option.

i think that is right. she is the only one. that's kinda strange.
one got the impression mabel likes oranje traditions when she wore Beatrix's engagement dress, got married in Delft etc.

and beatrix is so intent on demonstrating as often as possible, whenever wherever possible that she accepts and loves Mabel, you would think beatrix would have insisted little Luana wear the traditional dress.
