Lovely pics

Much better than the very formal photos that used to be the norm.

After William and Kate`s wedding, which we enjoyed watching on TV, we ordered a DVD of the wedding online, thinking we`d like to watch it again, but it`s still got the cellophane wrapper on it, maybe it`ll be worth what we paid for it in a few years time?

ginny Collecting royal memorabilia is a popular pastime, whether commemorative mugs and tea towels or colour supplements and magazines. So much is mass-produced these days that is unlikely to gain much value of the years, although there are those who are hopeful that it will, but it gives a lot of people pleasure – and rather crowded houses.

They are perfectly nice photo's. However , I always wonder why newspapers and magazines print so many. Especially when they print whole supplements. What do people do with them ? Does anyone actually keep them ? Here we glance at them and then they go with the rest of the paper into the recycling bin.

I somehow don't think the nanny will be getting the final say on what they wear.

I didn't know they had a Spanish nanny. The outfits do look like the sort of thing you see in Spanish shops for posh small outfits.

I liked the fact that Charlotte looked like a normal baby in a babygro rather than some frilly concoction although I suppose the poor child will have to wear that dreadful christening gown.

I think most parents would have dressed George up a bit for a photo. I even have photo's of GS1 in a collar and tie at a wedding.

Poor little mite absent if he gets GF's ears.....

I think he looks just like his great uncle Charles and his great grandfather.

Mock not, Ana. They were on Facebook and I wanted a good laugh. grin

loopylou Sun 07-Jun-15 19:16:30

grin not the hybrid cock up I posted............

loopylou Sun 07-Jun-15 19:15:46

I sincerely hope not jingl [grin*

I agree they're lovely formal pictures.

rosesarered Sun 07-Jun-15 19:11:43

I think George looks really sweet dressed like that for a special photo.

Ana Sun 07-Jun-15 19:02:07

Blimey, do you actually look on there, anno? shock

annodomini Sun 07-Jun-15 18:52:28

Oh don't worry, jingl; there are plenty of soppy comments on other forums such as Silver Surfers.

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 07-Jun-15 18:37:45

They are obviously doing what many young parents do these days - put the first pics up on social mnedia. Why should it be a formal photo-shoot? (Don't forget that would cost money. And then you would have something more to howl about hmm)

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 07-Jun-15 18:35:57

loopylou - do you really think they dress him like that on a daily basis?! hmm

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 07-Jun-15 18:34:51

FFS! I can't believe some of the carping comments on here!

All two year old boys should have a 'best' outfit like this one - why not? What do you want? An "I love my Daddy" tee shirt? hmm

Of course his hair is not Brylcreemed! He's 2! They have shiny hair at that age.

Could it possibly be that the long socks are to keep his legs warm? Surely not! hmm

Lovely pictures of lovely children.

TerriBull Sun 07-Jun-15 18:30:37

Like others have commented, not liking the socks AT ALL! I'm not sure little boys wear socks like that anymore, he looks very 1940s/50s the outfit's way too formal. Yes I agree loopylou mess his hair up a bit

tanith Sun 07-Jun-15 18:17:13

Agree with everyone that the 'hair' the socks and clothes were so old fashioned I can't quite believe Kate dresses him like that..

loopylou Sun 07-Jun-15 18:09:36

I doubt that they worry about things needing special washing, or any laundry if it comes to that anno, unlike us hmm

I'd love to see George in 'normal' toddler clothes with mussed up hair and definitely not long socks!

FarNorth Sun 07-Jun-15 17:40:17

At the end of the article are recommendations for where to buy clothes to "get the Prince George look".
I agree that Princess Charlotte should have had her own photo-shoot.

annodomini Sun 07-Jun-15 17:31:42

I read somewhere that Charlotte was wearing a cashmere jumper in the photograph. I would recommend something rather more washable!

aggie Sun 07-Jun-15 17:11:13

My reaction was .. I hope there is an adult hand near in case he decides to let go !

annsixty Sun 07-Jun-15 16:34:49

While I do not like to see tiny babies wearing denim and bright clothes, I do expect to see rising 2's look as if they want to climb and run around in practical clothes. However they are lovely children, although I have seldom seen a baby change so much facially as Charlotte.
