Great pictures The Watcher! Thanks for sharing them!

Too bad we can't see a picture of Luana's face. Her little pink hat does look adorable though!

And Mabel looks great in her casual outfit.

 

[HMQueenElizabethII]

[elenaris]

New pictures of the little Luana

Thank you for the photos. Even though you can't see her face, she looks so cute. You can't help but say 'aww'.

 

[photofan]

there's new pics of little Luana???

I can't wait to see them!!!

 

[corazon]

yeah, you're right, we wnat see luana. Nothing about the christening?
May be she is christenind but in private.

i cant imagine that! Beatrix and her sons and their wives would surely be present at such an event and its hard for them to go anywhere (particularly all at the same time) without the press picking up on it.we'd know if she'd been baptized already.

but then again, this is a VERY long time to wait. 8 months. the press is already speculating that Mabel is pregnant again.

if they keep waiting maybe they can do a double baptism of Luana together with their new baby

 

[corazon]

ha ha, all is posible!!!!

 

[Maxie]

ha ha, all is posible!!!!

True! Especially if there are any bows involved...

(Sorry about that...)
I think it's really weird that Luana hasn't been christened yet. One would start to think they really did it as privately as possible. But then again, it's quite impossible for the press not to know it, as Pollyemma says. If they already have the little countess christened they have done it in a very sneaky way. I think it's a pity. I want to see Luana too!

 

[pollyemma]

True! Especially if there are any bows involved...

oh no! i'm conjuring up images of a victor and rolf christening gown for Luana. aarrghh!

 

[Maxie]

oh no! i'm conjuring up images of a victor and rolf christening gown for Luana. aarrghh!

Now I truly understand why they kept the christening out of the spot lights. Mabel was not so keen on seeing herself and Luana exposed to new bow related jokes...

 

[nokklav]

just yesterday i was wondering who are her godparents. they could have communicated this to us at least, as i understand their keeping it private.

 

[corazon]

yeah I want see luana too, maybe in christmas (a christmas card).

 

[elenaris]

More pics of Emma Luana???

I am surprised thare were no pics of the baptism of the baby?

 

[SpiffyBallerina]

Do we know for sure she's been baptized yet?

 

[Marengo]

we don't, but I would be surprised if they didn't release any information about it. I know Luana, Mabel, JF arent members of the RH any more but they still televised their wedding, released a picture of the newborn, so I assume they would also release information about a baptism. As the couple was married in church I also assume they want to baptise their daughter.

 

[pollyemma]

breaking news:

I just heard from a friend that Dutch TV is saying Luana will be baptized this week.

family only invited. no cameras. we'll be lucky if we get to see a few shots

 

[pollyemma]

Ok, a few more details...

the baptism will be this Sunday. it will be held at Huis Ten Bosch. that's where the Queen lives.

the pastor will be Huub Osterhuis. I dont think he's officiated at previous royal events.

Luana was born March 26. thus she will probably be able to walk to the baptismal font herself.

I wonder if she will wear the traditional Oranje baptism gown that Alexia and Amalia wore.she might be too big for it.

well, anyway, atleast now we know she wasnt baptized secretly at some point. I do hope a few photos will be released.

Pollyemma, you really make me laugh out loud! LOL! I thought they never were going to baptize the poor child! I heard about it too (though trough one of the argentinian members here... ) Don't think that I'll be still awake to watch the late news, though ...
