You seem quite upset but your comment shows good humor as some could feel it is worse to read «when she was very little very strong Orange feautures and was a wee crosseyed» instead of «she LOOKED LIKE she was having Down syndrome».

I guess we can all agree that her early pictures were not her most photogenic ones and that she is without a doubt growing in beauty!

Whats wrong with saying she has strong Orange (as in the family) feautures, she looks like a splitting image of her grandmother Queen Beatrix when she was a little girl, I certainly dont think saying that she looks like her family can be compared to saying she looked like she had Down Syndrom.

To compare Infanta Cristinas boys has very strong Borbon feautures, as in the look alot like their granfather, especially Pablo

Down Syndrome? Oh, you make me laugh!!! Amalia is just a typical Dutch baby, who happens to be part of a family with very strong facial features... there's totally nothing wrong with her and her beauty has already started growing. She'll turn out fine, I can assure you that. :)

Her early pictures were not her most photogenic ones and she is without a doubt growing in beauty in an harmonious family.

Down Syndrome? Perhaps amalia wasnt the cutest baby on earth when she was born...but now she's a very beautiful baby
And saying she has down syndrome doesnt show a lot of respect
