Oh my, did you see the darling smocked outfit Prince George wore to Princess Charlotte’s christening. So sweet.

Did they save all of the special smocked things that William and Harry wore? I think I remember this ne one of them many years ago – through the eyes of a child. He is a beautiful looking child but then look at the parents!

CNN had side-by-side pictures. George’s outfit was similar to William’s. Not the same, but an apparently deliberate homage.

Look what I found while going through some Australian Smocking and Embroidery Magazines tonight…I see such similarities to Prince George’s “royal attire”!!

Let me try that again….sorry!!

Oh yes it is very similar. That one is called Sailor boy – made it for a certain young man who is turning ten on Saturday (when he was a baby of course!)

I thought I’d revive this thread – I know some of you are interested.

Sweden’s Crown Princess Victoria gave birth to her second child, a boy, yesterday evening.

The new little Prince will be named Oscar Carl Olof and has been made Duke of Skåne (Scania, my county actually, yay!) by his grandfather the King.

The only two persons who were Duke of Skåne went on to become King but this little boy is third in line to the throne after his mother and big sister Estelle (born 2012).

Oh, and there is another royal baby on its way in April when Prince Carl Philip and his wife Princess Sofia are expecting their first child.
