I like Pic 2 of February 9, 2012 of how the Duchess of Vendome holds Princess Antoinette so gently and looks down so tenderly at her daughter.
This is a true picture that is worth a thousand words!!!

I love Philimena's white mink coat, sooo beautiful!:whistling:
 
The Duke of Vendome gave some inner-city youth a tour of the Royal Chapel of St. Louis de Dreux, as the prefect of the Arrondissement of Dreux. Along with his wife, the Duke has already visited six classrooms and wishes to continue to meet young people and discuss their heratige and history of the city with them:

Prior to the birth of child number 3 the Duke and Duchess of Vendôme and their kids posed for a family photo session at their home.
Here are some scans from Spanish Corazon:

Picture 5 is my favorite.
The Duchess of Vendome with her children and picture books make a happy setting.
Books are enjoyable.
Children can have fun with their imagination when they are being read to.

What a lovely family-I had no idea that the Duchesse de Vendome was expecting a third child!
 
It is a lovely family and are happy for the Duchess of Montpensier !

The children are adorable. I'm looking forward to a new photo shoot with their third child when the time comes. I like the last photos in particular.

The Duke and Duchess of Vendôme along with their children Gaston and Antoinette attended the Pentecost Mass presided by Michel Pansart, the Bishop of Chartres:

Gaston embracing a dog(pics1-3) that is practically the same size he is...so adorable!:lol:

It looks like it won't be long until the Duchess has her baby....
 
Lovely photos of an attractive family - I'll be interested in learning more about them.
 
Via Royal Musings, I stumbled across a short interview with the Duke of Vendôme, which talks about his family, children and his public role. I have translated the interview into English for those of us who can't speak French:

https://translate.google.com/transl...ince-a-l-ecoute-des-autres&edit-text=&act=url

I thought the interview was interesting and I didn't know a lot of the things that were mentioned in it beforehand, such as how Princess Astrid of Belgium is Prince Gaston's godmother and that they're very close to the BRF. I wonder if a member from the BRF will be Princess Louise-Marguerite's godmother when the time comes. I didn't know enough about the Duke of Vendôme to form a sold opinion on him, but now I've decided that I quite like him and feel that even though his family isn't reigning any more, he is still prepared to 'connect' with members of the French public.

What a lovely children!
It's so gorgeous Gaston and Antoinette with little Louise-Marguerite :wub:
Princess Philomena looks a bit tired :sad:
 
Thanks iceflower for posting the new photos of all three children! :flowers: Princess Louise-Marguerite is adorable, I love her and Princess Antoinette's dresses. I adore old fashioned dresses like those on little girls. I think my favourite photo is the fourth one, as I love how Princess Antoinette is putting her finger to her lips, as if to tell the others to be quiet as her little sister is sleeping or about to go to sleep. I also like the photo of Prince Gaston and Princess Antoinette in what I assume is Princess Louise-Marguerite's pram, I wonder if that was a case of them wanting to be like their younger sister (I have friends with two daughters and the older daughter often wanted to copy her little sister when they were younger). :D
 
According to Noblesse & Royautes, little Princess Louise-Marguerite was christened yesterday. Her godparents are Princess Sibilla of Luxembourg, Princess Margaretha of Liechtenstein, The Duke of Luynes, Archduke Michael of Austria and Alvaro de Orleans y Borbon (the site calls him a Prince but I haven't heard of a "Prince Alvaro" in the present day, so am not sure if it is correct which is why I left this out):

Baptême de la princesse Louise-Marguerite

Prince Jean's mother, the Duchess of Montpensier was present, as well as her children Blanche and Eudes and daughter-in-law Marie-Liesse, as mentioned in Noblesse et Royautes.
Instead the presence of the Count of Paris isn't mentioned in the article, so this lets me think that he wasn't there.
 
Princess Sibilla is really in love with her godchild! So cute!
