Campbell you are so welcome. I watched the arrival and service live online (didn't understand a word) but the music was lovely. The children are so sweet

ChristineM~~ I love the commentary!! It puts a REAL spin on the "so beautiful they can"t be real" photos! Just shows that royal or no, children are children. That is such a cute story of what actually happened to go along w/ the amazing photos. Ariane truly looks like an angel, and THAT gown... wow.

Absolutely adorable! I've said it before, I feel for the Prince lol...that many beautiful daughters. That gown is absolutely beautiful. The other two were baptized in the same gown right?

Just a minor correction but it is HEREDITARY Grand Duke Guillaume is the godfather he is not Grand Duke until his father dies or abdicates.
The service was so sweet the chidren stayed out with nannies for half then all paraded into the church and sat on the steps around the font. Ariane was carried into the church in the arms of her aunt Ines Zorreguita who is also a godmother. All the godparents made wishes for Ariane's future.
The children were cute but quite cheeky lol. They ran around.Claus-Casimir was worst (in a sweet way) he was throwing cushions and screaming accidentally knocking over his little sister several times!
