Those huge goggles on the babies are so funny! What a nice set of pictures; they're really enjoying themselves, it seems.

The twins and Bella look absolutely adorable with those goggles, Vincent looks particularly cool with the rad red goggles. Such cute pictures.

Well, BB's reporter followed them since the beginning and there were no problems. They should be more firm when it comes about privacy, one photosession and nothing more. Other RF can do this (I'm thinking about Dutch doe example).

Very nice pictures. I love the twins with their ski goggles. Too cute.

Well knowing the good relationship of BB with the royal family, I'm sure that if they did ask to be left alone they would've respected the request but it seems that the family is not bothered with the photographers. Moreover, BB photographer/s have been following the couple since they arrived in Verbier, the CP couple knew they would be photographed each time they were seen IMO.

It's a fine line to walk, I'm sure. Yes, Mary and Frederik could draw a very firm line and say no unofficial pictures at all but then they'd risk souring what seems like an overall positive and respectful relationship with the Danish press. If they were consistently being followed by dozens of photographers it might be different but I can't see how it would be worth it, in the overall scheme of things, to make a fuss about one or two discreet photographers/reporters from BB and the like.
The relationship between the Danish press and the DRF has always struck me as being admirably mature, for the most part, on both sides.

As far as I can tell, they don't seem bothered by the presence of the photographer. And even if they were, they are at a public place with lots of other children and adults around.
And they obviously aware of the photographer.
It would in my eyes be a completely different matter, if they were photographed in the private area of the chalet.
Or with a 6000 mm zoom or some photographer followed them in their heels where ever they went. - That would be intrusion.
But this? No, these or just sweet pics of a mother and her children having fun.

Well, to be fair, I recognize that last brown parka from a couple of years ago. The others may be new, lucky her...at least she lives in the climate for it!

If they did this, the media relationship with the royal house would turn sour, I am very sure. Its a dangerous issue since the media could then start bringing up unflattering topics etc.
Nobody urges the family to make holiday in full public view in Verbier. If they wouldnt want to put up with the photographers there every day they'd go somewhere else.
My guess is that this holiday partly takes place to generate these well appreciated fairy tale image pictures for the public and that the photographers are highly welcome. The rest is blah blah, they know exactly that the media wont stay away after one shoot with the family continuing to be on full display.
