I love this photo of Estelle hugging Victoria; there's so much love and warmth here. Estelle seems like a very affectionate little girl and seems to be particularly attentive to her younger brother, which is lovely to see.
Totally agree - being a Brit it makes me realise how under the radar in terms of pomp and circumstance "our" RF is in comparison to their European counterparts when we see events like this, too!
And that is why I love this royal family. They all take the dais and they all do the circuit although Oscar is back a little because I think he still finds it overwhelming however Estelle is definitely her mother's daughter handling everything like a seasoned trooper. And Oscar has the cutest little grumpy face I have seen for a while.
For all it is Spring, it seemed very cold and that makes it even more amazing when so many people still turn out. As usual, the CP Couple and their children have this sweet colour coordination going on with Victoria in dusky red, Estelle in pink and Daniel and Oscar doing their blue thing.
There's the traditional band, the traditional surreptitious bobbing to the music, all the gifts of flowers. I love that even school classes come and that some things have become de facto tradition such as that humongous, spettkaka and a hello the FinnJasper the cat in a basket (sort of like people bring their dogs to say hello to Camilla).
