Sweden’s Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel have just released new family portraits that include their two young children, Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar. And now many royal fans can’t help but compare the Crown Princess Family of Sweden’s photos to the many portraits that have been released by Kate Middleton and Prince William.
In fact, many critics can’t help but notice that Princess Victoria’s family portraits look more natural and comfortable than the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s photos. In one photo, Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar can be seen doodling with markers on the ground. In another photo, the entire family is smiling at the camera in a very color-coordinated portrait.
Royal insiders say that the images were released to update the biographies of each member of the Swedish royal family on their official website. What’s more, reports indicate that more royal photos are expected to be released during both Estelle and Oscar’s birthdays this year. Of course, Prince William and Kate Middleton’s family photos tell a whole different story.
Back in 2015, many critics believed that their casual family photo looked a little too perfect. And that’s because Princess Charlotte’s face was supposedly photoshopped. Many critics pointed out that Charlotte’s shoulders looked conspicuously blurry. Other said that Charlotte’s face looked like it was altered to make her look like she was indeed smiling for the photo. Many believed that Charlotte might have been crying during the photo shoot.
If that weren’t enough, Prince William and Kate Middleton were also heavily criticized for a photo of Prince George and their family pet, Lupo. Many were outraged to see young George feeding Lupo ice cream. Critics pointed out that dogs shouldn’t eat food meant for human consumption and that certain dairy products like ice cream can be not only highly toxic, but difficult for dogs to digest as well. Buckingham Palace made no comments about the controversy.
Still, many royal overseers can’t help but notice that Princess Victoria and Prince Philip’s photos look less staged than the photos they’ve seen from the British royal family.
