I love how the children look so excited about the cake
They are like their father, uncle and aunt, who LOVE food
And just like any other children, which is also nice to see

They live in a castle and and have a private botanic garden at home. That alone suggests to me they are not "just like any other children". I've noticed though that the current Belgian and Danish royal familes in particular are very good at using "ordinary family" images as a PR asset. The British or Spanish royal families on the other hand tend to do that less frequently.
