All-time favourite picture

kate2 · Sep 2, 2005

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.

yeah that's really a nice picture one of my favouritets to

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.

Olivier Polet is also Mathilde & Filip's favorite photographer. here are links to some of his work:

Here are links to some of Olivier Polet's photos

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!

Emily · Sep 2, 2005

Kate2 - Thanks! What precious photos!

Emily · Sep 2, 2005

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 · Sep 2, 2005

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 · Sep 2, 2005

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.

Hannelore · Sep 3, 2005

You're very welcome!

Here's a video of Olivier Polet and the photobook he made on Mathilde & Filip and their kids

Mette2 · Sep 14, 2005

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 · Sep 19, 2005

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!

Maxie · Sep 19, 2005

I really do adore this family! Some interesting photos Polet makes of them!

Of what I can see here I really do like this one best (Hannelore posted it I believe):

But maybe that's because I have some pictures of me and my sisters and my father behind the piano. It brings back good memories...

Emmily · Sep 19, 2005

I love this family too. One of my favorite pictures of them as a couple is where they are announcing their engagement. They are walking hand in hand, looking at each other. The press is in back of them and on the side of them. Do any of you know which one I am talking about?

I'm guessing this is the picture you're talking about Emmily:

I love this family too - they're my favorite.

Emmily · Sep 20, 2005

Yes, Mette2, that's the one! Thanks for posting it. They look like they're in their own little world, even though there are hundreds of photographers with them.

You're welcome Emmily.

I also think they look like they're in their own little world.

Emily · Sep 21, 2005

You know, I often think that they look like they're in their own little world. There are so many pictures of them either verbally or physically connecting with one another, both during engagements and in private family photos we have been privy to. I get the sense they are really soul mates which is part of the appeal of this couple for me. They seem like very thoughtful people.

Iffat · Sep 7, 2007

Wow! I love the photos by Olivier Polet. does anybody have better quality versions of those pictures? thanks.
