Princely Family of Monaco: Current Events Part 7: April 2013 - December 2015

[Mirabel]

If a baby has a dummy or not is the parents decision same as when to start toilet training. There is no problem with babies having dummies in fact some studies into SIDS show it helps. If being taken out in front of a whole lot of strangers and children upset her I would rather she had her comfort item eg. Dummy than been upset just to please people.
As I have often said to the parents of the babies and children I cared for. They won't start school with a dummy and in nappies so relax and enjoy your baby and don't listen to the know all's who know nothing about your baby. IMO

But it is unnecessary.
If you don't start using them right away, the baby won't develop a dependency and there will be no problem.

a nice article from Daily Mail:
Meet the family! Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene pose with little twins Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella and local dancers before enjoying a traditional Monaco picnic* | Daily Mail Online

The article is nice with big pictures but as usual Daily Mail is calling them wrongly as "royal family"....

More photos from Paris Match
The twins looked fascinated by the whole show.

Albert et Charlene de Monaco : Pique-nique surprise pour Jacques et Gabriella

 

[cdm]

I didn't expect to see G&J in a monegasque costume until the national day in November. So it's a nice surprise to see the 2 cuties at the picnic.

Thanks, melina p. Lovely clear pictures. A beautiful smile from P Gabriella. Can you read what it says on her dummy?

It looks like a "I love Mummy" dummy, I first thought it was a "I love Monaco"

I thought they would wear traditional dress here as opposed to National Day purely because November can be quite cold and the national costume is more of of a Summery nature.

Without going into the sucking reflex in great detail as it would be way of topic many babies need more sucking time than others that can cause great pain etc for the mother. A dummy can make a great difference in settling a baby. Once again parents choice not for us to decide.

They are too adorable!!

Love how in some of the pictures you can clearly see the wheels turning in Gabriella's mind mind thinking, "Come on Mummy...Just a little closer so I can grab that hat in front of me!!"

I really like Charlene's red lipstick and her white outfit! And the babies are so beautiful!

Thanyyou polyesco for the pictures of these photos of family at the beach in Corsica.

I was about to post them! Pity that we don't get to see Gabriella!

I was about to post the pics! It was very surprising to see that pictures were taken on such an occasion!

 

[iceflower]

But if they hadn't had any pictures/videos taken during that minute of silence, the whole ceremony wouldn't have made any sense. It's an official tribute, an official act of solidarity that needs to be recorded so that the people in France and elsewhere can see it..


Here's the gallery in addition to the video!

 

[melina premiere]

It is a great gesture of solidarity not only from the princely family but also from the people of Monaco

Yes, you are right...

 

[Breffney]

A very moving and lovely tribute.

 

[sophie25]

It was a nice gesture by the family to do this. The only thing I don't like about it are the sunglasses. I don't like seeing royals wearing them on occasions like this but I still prefer it if they are actually wearing them rather than having them perched on top of the head. It looks a bit too casual and a little bit disrespectful, but that's just my opinion.

 

[melina premiere]

Near the big tragedy in Paris in my country, who cares about sunglasses?

 

[C4A]

Quite right, melina, it's not about the sunglasses at all...


....but a moving and sincere show of solidarity with the French people and all those who were forever touched by this tragedy.

It was heartbreaking to see... I would say I saw Princess Caroline shed some tears behing those sunglasses...

The Grimaldis have always been quite fond of sunglasses at times mourning - see Stefano's funeral pics. They give an element of privacy when you have to appear in public. They all looked fine and utterly dignified.
