You've done it again Jalmey - what great photos!!! Nice to see pictures of Alexia with her maternal grandmother even though she and her family were living in Greece at the time.
And did I spot King Juan Carlos (then Prince) in the third picture? What was he doing there and whom was he with? I didn't see Queen (Princess) Sofia.

Oh Alexandria, this time it was not Jalmey...
but no need to get upset, we all make mistakes! :flower:
I see the royal airplane with the royal flag and escutcheon. That was the aircraft that queen Frederika insisted that prime minister George Papandreou (the old man) buy for the royal family - and he did give in and bought it for her, while the Greeks were barefoot, starving and emigrating massively to Australia, Canada and Germany!
In the end, we all pay dearly for our deeds, don't we!
The pictures, by the way, are superb!!! Alexia was an adorable toddler
Addendum:
What makes the royal aircraft issue even more bizarre is that queen Frederika had phobia of flying and was rarely using it but she wanted it, I guess, for prestige!
