Seems the year just ended was an extravaganza of the Royal baby boomers, many of the Royal houses of Europe are enjoying the new arrivals in their families.

Princess Maxima of Holland gave birth to her second daughter in June, now Princess Alexia will join her Sister Princess Catharina, both Crown Prince Willem Alexander and Princess Maxima are overjoyed, with their lovely family.

Princess Mary of Denmark and her husband Crown Prince Frederick are also overjoyed with the birth of their baby son, who is yet unnamed. Both parents have said they intend to be 'hands on parents' and though they have hired a nanny it is merely to supervise their child while they undergo their royal duties.

It is also a breath of fresh air that Princess Mette Marit, who was a single mother before marrying Crown Prince Haakon, has added a new addition to their growing family. The couple looks truly devoted to each other as Mette is accepted by the family without censure. Let's hope that all goes well for this royal couple.

The Spanish Royals have also been busy with both Infanta Elena and Infanta Christina are both mothers and now Princess Letizia has given birth to her and Crown Prince Felipes baby daughter who they have named Princess Leonor. Princess Letizia is truly a beautiful woman but let us hope that she does not fall prey to the insecurities of the late Princess Diana, as Princess Letizia had lost a great deal of weight in the run up to her wedding to Prince Felipe.

As for the British Royal family there was speculation that the Countess of Wessex was once again pregnant with her and Edwards’s second child but this was denied by Buckingham Palace. There have been very few photos of Lady Louise Mountbatten Windsor, which is a shame unless of course both the Earl and Countess wish a more private life for their royal offspring.

Cheers!~!
