All-time favourite picture

kate2 · #1 09-02-2005, 05:36 AM

I got the idea by tbhrc who started a new thread for the royal family of Monaco.
And so I was wondering: what are your favourite pictures of Mathilde, Philip, Elisabeth and Gabriel?

My favourite are the ones taken by Pollet, where Mathilde is sitting with Elisabeth on her lap. They both look so relaxed and happy.

is it possible to post any of the Pollet pictures or are they protected by copyright?

Those pictures are adorable. So hard to pick a favourite. Love the ones of Philippe with Elisabeth as his desk.

I have always loved those images, but never knew who took them. No wonder he is their favourite photographer. He doesn't just 'take a photo', but captures an image; an image of love and family. It's very hard, in my opinion, for a photographer to capture emotions that move other people, but he certainly does. Thank you for posting the links!

Kate2 - Thanks! What precious photos!

Emily · #9 09-02-2005, 07:30 PM

Oh, Hannelore - THANK YOU for taking the time to post all the photos -- some I have seen but many others I have not and they are just wonderful!

Emmily · #10 09-02-2005, 07:31 PM

Hannelore, thanks for posting those links. I love this family. I came to this site for information on another royal family and discovered the Belgium family. And they are now my absolute favorites. They seem very genuine and loving. I'm anxious for them to get back to royal duties so we can see them again. Yes, I'm being selfish!

Emily · #11 09-02-2005, 07:46 PM

If you are being selfish, Emmily, then you are in very good company! Many of us are looking forward to more photos of this dear family.

You're welcome Emily and Alisa.:) Yes, that picture is especially one of my favorites too Alisa. I also really like the picture where Philippe is sitting with Elisabeth and facing the camera from when she was presented to the press for the first time. Okay I might as well admit that I like all pictures with these four people in them.

Mette2 · #19 09-19-2005, 05:27 PM

I had a look through the threads for Philippe and Mathilde yesterday and came across one of my other favorite pictures:):

Yes, I recognize that from the Vanity Fair spread -- just a lovely picture through and through!
