Royal cuddle: Prince and Princess understand each other well

George and Charlotte - just to cuddle

Of course these pictures are not snapshots, of course they were elaborately staged. And certainly these children's faces are often full of tears, rage or whimpering, because the Royal Kitchen at Buckingham Palace does not make a snowman out of ice cream for prince and princess (sheer speculation, maybe she even does).

But: bestowed. When it comes to children's photos, nobles play by the same rules as the rest of the world. And if you manage to catch cute pictures of your children, you want to be proud of them.

Incidentally, the pictures were shot neither by a court photographer, nor by Bryan Adams, who has been lately always ready for celebrity Knipsereien.

No, these pictures were taken by Mama Kate herself, who according to the official court statement is a "keen photographer", that is to say an "avid" photographer (a great Royal compliment, which unfortunately only applies to women - at least no one yet has any appreciation said, what an "eager" farmer Prince Charles is).

Maybe that's why little George looks a bit more friendly on the pictures than he would have done for some unknown star photographer. After all, Mama knows best how to make him laugh:

And yes, despite all cynicism or a "The royals are me piepegal" Attitude that you can have: These kids are really damn cute. And you can also be happy about that!
