Tasty cookies
How sweet! Little Estelle bakes cookies, and the whole world is allowed to watch! Where? In Stockholm in Haga Castle. Kronprinzessin Victoria and her husband Daniel had invited photographers and TV teams to a Christmas shoot there in their private kitchen, where Estelle naturally played the main role.
The merry princess, who once again draped a bow (this time a red one) into her hair to celebrate the day, poked out the dough pieces with cake molds, which her mother later pushed into the oven. It goes without saying that snacking was not forgotten. The small stuffed so much biscuit into him that the worried dad warned her even before stomach ache.
Looking at the scenes made you feel reminded of old times. For many years, Queen Silvia and King Carl Gustaf always asked the Drottningholm Palace shortly before the holidays to present their children in a Christmas setting. Sometimes Victoria, Carl Philip and Madeleine (as now) were allowed to bake, sometimes they packed gifts more or less cleverly, sometimes they decorated the Christmas tree .
At a very young age, the trio found these press events exciting, or they quickly forgot that they were being watched by cameras as they fiddled with each other. Later, when the three of them were a bit older, they sometimes realized very clearly that they found it rather stupid to have to show off for the photographers.
Victoria does not seem to have suffered too much from the pressure, otherwise she would hardly have put her daughter in the limelight. Surely she has long since realized how effective such reports for the royal family are, because - quite honestly - when you hear such a cute girl like Estelle cheek and cheeks for joy - who is not the heart ...?
