No, not yet. She will be baptized in June, so I guess that April is a little bit to early.

Royal Family wants a privacy agreement for Amalia.

The RVD is sounding out the media for a privacy agreement with photographers and the like, much like the agreement in existence in Britain for William and Harry. The papers here are not per se against it, but do not want to commit themselves for the next 18 years. In exchange for the agreement, the RF would provide more private photo opportunities.

DEN HAAG/ORANJEWOUD (GPD) - De Rijksvoorlichtingsdienst wil met de media
afspraken maken over de bescherming van de privacy van de jongste leden van het
koninklijk huis. Dit om te voorkomen dat met name prinses Amalia de
komende jaren steeds wordt lastig gevallen door fotografen. De RVD heeft de
hoofdredacteuren van de Nederlandse kranten gevraagd of er over zo'n privacycode
kan worden gepraat.
Het Genootschap van Hoofdredacteuren, dat gisteren in het Friese Oranjewoud
bijeen was, gaat een gesprek hierover niet uit de weg, maar wil zich niet bij
voorbaat voor de komende achttien jaar (tot het moment dat Amalia
volwassen is) binden. Roddelblad Weekend heeft deze week bij de RVD geopperd
afspraken te maken over de inzet van fotografen. In ruil voor 'fotomomenten',
bijvoorbeeld tijdens de ski- en zomervakanties van Willem-Alexander en M xima of
de koninklijke familie in Italië, zouden de paparazzi zich verder inhouden.
Directe aanleiding voor de discussie is de recente skivakantie van het
prinselijk gezin in Lech. Fotografen bivakkeerden toen al meteen voor de deur
van het vakantieverblijf om de in december geboren Amalia bij haar eerste
bezoek aan de sneeuw te kunnen vastleggen.
In Groot-Brittannië bestaat een vrijwillige overeenkomst tussen hof en media
voor de prinsen William en Harry, de twee zonen van prins Charles. Die zijn de
afgelopen jaren over het algemeen met rust gelaten, maar moesten wel een paar
keer per jaar opdraven bij fotosessies. Ook hebben ze een aantal vraaggesprekken
gegeven aan vooraf geselecteerde journalisten van een persbureau. Pas twee weken
geleden werd de overeenkomst geschonden, toen het boulevardblad The Sun schreef
over een vriendinnetje van William en foto's van hun skivakantie publiceerde.

I saw a few articles back that she has her own coat of arms. Is there a picture anywhere of her coat of arms and maybe, possibly even her monogram?

I think this kind of policy or stance on public 'intrustion' on royal families will become more common as more and more public figures try to seperate their public lives from their private lives. Already Prince Haakon has expressed similar concern for future and growing public interest in the life of his young daughter and family, and now such concern from Willem and Maxima, too, about their daughter.

The Spanish King and Queen had a similar policy when their own children were young: organized photo opts at special occasions such as the beginning of holidays, birthdays, equestrian events for Elena, sporting events for Felipe and Cristina, etc., if the Spanish press would leave the children alone otherwise. I believe the concept was quite "radical" back then, but now it is more common and I think, a much more agreeable way to handle the press while also allowing the likes of Ingrid Alexandra and Catharina-Amalia to grow up with some sense of normalacy and not the constant prying attention they might otherwise be subjected to. A good all around compromise!

Nice rattle. It might've been better to have donated money to a charity in Amalia's name. What's a baby going to do with a silver rattle? :P

[Gabriella]

that is one dangerous looking rattle :P

[Juliane]

LOL, my thought exactly! That's not something I'd want my child playing with, much less teething with!
