Ah, the reality of life…
Kids will be kids and parents with three kids will always have their hands full, royal or not. Nannies and governesses might still exist but nothing substitutes for a parents’ guidance.
Princess Madeleine of Sweden and husband financier, Christopher O’Neil, might’ve have foreseen the behavior of their eldest daughter, four-year-old Princess Leonore happening, had they not had their hands full with their three kids and royal duties. The bored princess rolled on the floor in the aisle at her baby sister’s christening. It must’ve been too much for her as going shoeless sometime during the ceremony didn’t quell the lost of interest she has in the event at the Drottningholm Palace Chapel.

| "This is boring," the princess seemed to say |
 |
| Who? Me? |

| The "I'll get you for this when we get home," classic stare |
Princess Madeleine can only manage sharp stares as she was holding her little one, Princess Adrienne. Her husband Chris was helplessly trying to catch Princess Leonore’s attention. The little one got pictured with the expression of, “Who? Me?”
To top it all off, everyone in the congregation is obviously working hard to ignore the little princess’ antics.
It was hilarious, humbling and touching. Better not have your own baby’s christening, though simple, not turning out like this for the world to see, right?

| One of the most beautiful, unstaged royal christening portraits ever |
When they first stepped out for the ceremony, Princess Madeleine’s family look perfect. When they came out after the christening, we got one of the most beautiful royal christening portraits ever.
Princess Leonore, looked adorable in a white dress embroidered with daisies, with a matching daisy clip in her hair.
It's not the first time Princess Leonore playfully stole the limelight.
Madeleine, 35, was among the first arrivals for the christening on June 8. Her older sister Crown Princess Victoria was spotted making her way to the chapel in a private car.
The couple was joined by King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel, and Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia along with their children.
Also present were godparents Anouska d'Abo, Coralie Charriol Paul, Nader Panahpour, Gustav Thott, Charlotte Kreuger Cederlund and Natalie Werner - along with officiants Chief Court Chaplain Bishop Johan Dalman and Pastor of the Royal Court Parish Michael Bjerkhagen.
Who is who in the Swedish royal family?
Carl XVI Gustaf and his wife Silvia, the King and Queen of Sweden
At the age of 72, Carl is the second-longest reigning monarch in Swedish history. He took to the throne in 1973. He and his wife Queen Silvia, 74, have three children: Victoria, 40, Carl, 39 and Madeleine, 35, and six grandchildren.
Crown Princess Victoria, eldest daughter of King Carl XVI Gustaf, and her husband Prince Daniel
Victoria, 40, was not expected to take to the throne when she was born in 1977 but a change in the law of succession three years later changed that. In 2010, Victoria married her former personal trainer Daniel Westling, and the couple share two children, Princess Estelle, five, and Prince Oscar.
Prince Carl Philip, son of King Carl XVI Gustaf, and his wife Princess Sofia
Prince Carl Philip, 39, caused a stir when he married former glamour model Sofia Hellqvist in 2014. The Prince, who is dyslexic, accused the public of 'bullying' her at the time, but the duo went on to welcome Prince Alexander, in April 2016 and another little boy, Prince Gabriel, in August the following year.
Princess Madeleine, youngest child of King Carl XVI Gustaf and her husband Christopher O'Neill
Princess Madeleine, 35, broke off her engagement to a lawyer to marry a 'commoner', financier Christopher O'Neill, in 2013. He declined a royal title when he married the princess to be free to pursue his career. The couple lives a relatively private life in London. Currently seventh-in-line to the Swedish throne, the keen equestrian and art history graduate shares Princess Leonore, three, and Prince Nicolas, two, with her husband, and the family recently welcomed a second daughter, Princess Adrienne.
