    This post makes me very happy! For me it is the first time that I'm recalling them making an official visit to a foreign country as a family. I think it is excellent that they are expanding their circle beyond Monaco. I'm glad to see them together, glad to see Charlene, glad to see them all looking well and happy, and am hoping that we will see more photos of them with the Norwegian Royal Family. They are in the company of wonderful hosts too!

    Nun, es freut mich sehr die Familie zu sehen. Momentan ist es egal wie sich die Fürstin kleidet, ich wünsche ihr weiterhin gute Genesung! Das schwarz kann eine versteckte Botschaft bedeuten, für Gabriella freue ich mich über den roten Mantel. Wer oder wie wird überhaupt über ihre Kleidung entschieden, das interessiert mich schon länger, kennt sie Geschäfte und wählt selbst mit aus, oder werden die Kinderkollektionen in den Palast geschickt und man ordert für die Anlässe entsprechend durch?! Auch als die Fürstin krank und nicht in Monaco war, musste sie doch sicher die Kleidung ihrer Kinder in andere Hände geben, wobei ich glaube, das Gabriella schon sehr genau weiß was sie mag und was nicht. Zur Zeit spannen die Sakkos am Fürsten : ) ist mir aufgefallen, hier wäre eine Variante je nach Tagesform auch hilfreich, vielleicht etwas Stretch in den feinen Zwirn einweben. ; )

      Why not black? What's wrong with black? I know it's basically hated on this blog; but some of love black & wear it all year long. Some people look better in black & other dark colors. If Charlene & Gabriella want to wear black, let them wear black. Everybody else in the photos seems to be in dark colors. It's Norway, it's probably cooler; they're not in sun-drenched Monaco or Dubai. Long live Black! *Regina

    I really hate seeing small children dressed in black. I often get the feeling that HSH allows her children to select their own clothing, which is unfortunate. As adorable as they are, the Princely twins often look like little hipsters or Hollywood kids. (especially Gabriella)

      The question was put ..."Why is black so popular in fashion?"
      And the reply was ......;
      "When selecting clothing items to wear, many individuals gravitate toward black. Often, black is perceived as a sleek and flattering color that not only minimizes the effort involved in selecting outfits, but, also minimizes the perception of the mass of the body".

    2. Is is not a state visit. It is a visit for Prince Albert II of Monaco (and his family) to attend the opening of an exhibition "Sailing the Sea of Science" which is dedicated to his great, great grandfather, Prince Albert 1 of Monaco.
      It is one hundred years since the death of Prince Albert I. It's a subject that could be of great interest to the kids.

    Not crazy about Princess Charlene’s all black outfit. I like fitted blazer, flared pants or loose blazer slimmer pants but wide for both is too bulky, especially in such a dark color for summer. Great gold earrings, necklace an smile. The kids look wonderful for their official visiting, helping Dad and Mom. Love that they took their kiddos- so smart to travel with them rebuilding stability and confidence.

      This is most reasonable comment here re girls wearing black. Times have changed, and that change happened a long time ago. If it was not acceptable, proper children's clothing lines would not offer the designs. What was once the rule in the mid 20th century does not apply today. There are still people that think black is only for mourning as well. Black is worn year round and not just reserved for funerals. The one thing that is still bad form is critiquing the children. Until they are adults, they don't deserve the negative feedback that keeps coming at them from so many.

      @Anon 21:56 Maybe you should ask each and every royal family throughout the world if it is right to have children that have absolutely no say in their future. Like it or not, these children have no choice. They must learn how to attend these events, meet with other royals and dignitaries the world over, and dress unlike other children because they were born into these roles. Heaven forbid an heir or a spare decides they want a different life than the one thrust upon them. As we have seen, they are "cancelled" not only by their family but the world over. Their happiness comes much further down the list, with duty always being This is not something the a future monarch can just pick up as an adult, it a job that is lived for an entire lifetime--whether the child likes it or not. They are born in training.

      @anon 3.51: saying that royal children "never have a choice" is making a very offensive statement. Offensive towards all those children who are now living a war and who are deprived of a home, sometimes of a family and of a normal future. Offensive to all those other children who, because of the place where they r born will never really have any chance to live a life with dignity.
      So, please, lets not make a tragedy where there isnt any: these little royals are not still able to make choices, but their parents are!
      And IMO, exposing at public events kids who arent even 10, is not a good one.
      Let them be kids who behave like kids.

      Exposing royal kids at public events has nothing to do with some bloggers' urgence to use them as targets to hit.
      Royal life is a world of its own and children and young people born into royalty have always been exposed but I do not remember this compulsion to bring them down in the past by common people.
      The way you are putting things sounds like anything can be said about royal kids, because their parents make them visibile to the public, so they are the only ones to blame.
      Hate towards them on a social blog has no justification at all, no matter how you are trying hard to spin the matter.
      Royal kids are just like all the other children and deserve most respect from adults.
      Now, why bringing in the war too?
      Of course, in the ongoing conflicts children are deprived , without a future and pay for others' crazy decisions.
      All this is a tragedy indeed but you seem to mingle such different situations to justify some kind of hate towards royal kids.
      Hate because they are privileged maybe?
      You seem more and more confused on the correct use of a social blog, of that I am sure.

  27. I think there are double standards for Princess Charlene when it comes to wearing black. It seems she is the only one raked over the coals for her and Gabriella who chose to wear black which I think it is a classic color and quite sophisticated and lovely. some say Charlene should not allow her daughter to wear black and only to funerals if she does and she should not be allowed to pick out her own clothes I have never read where Princess Gabriella picks her own clothes. someone said Prince Jacques dresses like a old man and someone said they never smile. Queen Letizia wore a beautiful black leather like dress, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa wore black, Crown Princess Mary wore navy yet no one criticized any of them. I just think some have hostility towards Charlene who is a beautiful woman and never appears to have any bad feelings towards anyone. To those who dislike her so much do you realize how sick she was for a while. Why don't you leave her the hell alone, she appears to be vulnerable at times and that is when some take advantage of that and beat up on her....She does not deserve this and the ones who treat her unfairly should give her a break and lighten up on her!.

When those pictures end up on sites like this, what happens? A bunch of cackling hens decide to have their fun, never taking into account the differences from country to county, the traditions they follow, or accepting that they are CHILDREN and might act like children both in behavior and dress on occasion. The cackling hens would rather pick on these children than say nothing at all. Why pick on kids that are underage? Maybe you kick babies and cats that get in your way as well. I don't know. We all need to have some boundaries.

      Again. The question was, "Cherry, can you tell us where unkind things about these children have been said? I cannot find one." I picked them out. Just what is the problem? How did I misread the question? By the way, there was nothing aggressive in what I said. I used quotes and copy and pasted. Those are not my words. The last paragraph is mine, and entirely factual. We all see what we want to see in these pictures and the comments. The children are very well cared for and are very loved by a great many people. It is a fact that there are dozens more negative comments about these two children and other royal children. And lastly, it is a fact that it is none of our business. We were all free to bring up our children as we saw fit, and they are free to do the same. Not everyone will agree with their decisions, just as not everyone agreed with all of the decisions we made bringing up our children.

    This morning I found photos of the funeral of the fireman who died in action in Monaco some days ago. It was a state funeral with princess Caroline attending as Albert is on this official visit. As the firemen are part of the prince's guards the funeral was performed with military honours (sorry if I don't know the right words). According to traditional customs the prince's family were dressed for mourning. That is the reason for black/dark clothing for the exhibition and grey/dark for the lunch with Norwegian royal family.
    Wearing dark clothing when in mourning was customary even for ordinary people, but the rules are no more so strict as they used to be. Specially in the Mediterranean countries older people often wore black/dark everyday as a relative or a friend had passed away. Please do understand that in different countries there are different customs which can be as "good" as your own.
    When younger, I have myself obeyed those rules: three months all black ("total sorrow") and then black-white-grey for next six months ("half sorrow") after a near relative. Nowadays one can choose how long to wear dark.

  33. Relisez moi:A aucun moment je n'ai utilisé le mot haine.
    Quand j'ai vu Charlene vêtue de noir ainsi que sa fille (la robe de Gabriella n'est pas complètement noire)j ai tout de suite pensé au pompier qui est décédé d'une façon tragique à Monaco.
    Je l'ai écrit dans un de mes commentaires.
    Charlene et Albert:Je ne les connais qu'a travers des images,jem'abstiendrai de les juger .
    D'ailleurs, qui suis-je pour les juger.

    My dear anonymous, deflecting is not a good argument. My comprehension level is just fine, so is my decency.
    Good day!

      Cherry, we still waiting for you to tell us what are the unkind things written about the little royals....
      Probably you cannot find a single line.
      Go back to yr decency and use it next time before attacking people without a serious reason.
      Bye.

    I read all the comments and I found a lot of bloggers who are champion in twisting the words of others. Each royal family have their own traditions of their own country. Some follow these traditions until today. Others started new traditions more adapted to modern times. There will always be differences from one country to another whether it is about sad things like funerals or happy things like national day of kings day. That is the case in royal families and in common families. That is also what makes people interesting so equal and yet so different.
