Louis Ducruet and his wife Marie welcomed their first child on April 4. Three days after the birth, the couple shared a photo of their newborn daughter on Instagram. The photo shows the baby girl's foot with a hospital bracelet bearing her name, Victoire. The couple also wrote the following caption:"Our little family has grown with the arrival of our little Victoire".
The baby is Princess Stephanie’s first grandchild. Prince Albert announced the arrival of the family’s new member on the day of the birth at the Auditorium Rainier III, where he was presenting diplomas at The Monegasque Red Cross graduation ceremony.
Pourquoi donc nous n'avons pas eu droit à une photo entière de Victoire même sa frimousse ? Précédemment, nous avons bien eu droit à la photo entière de leur chien ; bizarre, bizarre !
ReplyDeleteMais pas du tout! Un enfant n'est pas un chien!
DeleteBecause it's not a dog but a human being? They have every right to hide the face of their newborn baby. Congratulations to the new family. Wishing them joy and happiness. Scarlet Witch
DeleteLa vie privée ! Tout n'est pas destiné à tout le monde
Deletenew parents are always protective their baby, in time we will see her
DeleteTulipe33, this modern "trend" is ridiculous. I want to see a sweet baby face, not some other body part. "Here's our new baby; isn't her leg the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?! And my hand - my hand is nice, too". |Melanie|
DeleteWe don’t have a “right” to a picture of their baby. Times have changed. Horrible people do unspeakable things with one picture and it ends up on the dark web. As parents, they are the ones that have the right to privacy. A newborn is not here for our entertainment. They have every right to be protective.
DeleteGood question Tulipe33
DeleteOr you present your child, or you do not at all if consider privacy. But there is no point to say ‘here is our child’ and see the back or hand / leg of it. This practice is no interest.
DeleteWhen all you can share is a foot of your baby, maybe just the announcement with no accompanying photo will suffice.

I totally agree, it their right, but it feels almost silly to share a foot of your baby
DeleteLuna
Agree with you T. 👍
DeleteCongratulazioni_ che bella bimba_che bella famiglia
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! Congratulations to the couple.
ReplyDeleteWonderful news - very happy for them - Congratulationen to the family.
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to see a baby, new life new beginnings. Her Name in English Victory, how appropriate. I wish the new parents and Grandparents, the best and enjoy the little one. css
ReplyDeleteWell, the English equivalent is Victoria but yes, the meaning is the same.
DeleteAnd in other languages the name is Victoria too : German, Dutch, Swedish, .....
DeleteCongratulations to the happy couple..
ReplyDeleteThere is no reason for new parents to rebuff well-meaning members of the public by coyly arranging the release of a photo of their baby’s foot, or some other body part, rather than its face. If this is a trend, imo it does not deserve to be. I agree with “T” above: If privacy is that much of a concern, just skip the photo altogether. While nobody has a “right” to see your child’s face, it is just as obvious that when someone expresses interest in seeing your new baby, you’re not going to cover the child’s face while holding up its foot — unless your intention is to hurt the feelings of the person who asked. — Jane
ReplyDeleteExcept the leg in question has the name on it.
DeleteExactly, Anon 15:22.
DeleteOh...right...of course: putting the child's name on the leg makes *all* the difference :-D -- Jane
ReplyDeleteWell in the G-D of Luxemburg they have courageous parents. Prince Guillaume and Princess Stéphanie showed their new born son the day after he was born. I understand parents who are reluctant to show their newborn to the social media, on the internet etc... I agree too that showing a body part but not the face of the baby is ridiculous. Or you are showing a normal baby picture where one can see the face of the newborn or you wait and do not show any picture at all. It is up to the parents to decide.
ReplyDeleteThe situation of Guillaume and Stephanie is a little different. They and their children are the closest to the Throne, they are the Heirs. In that sense they are a "public": family. But yes, they do go beyond what is expected and have always been very generous with photos and video of their gorgeous babies. I appreciate them for that.
DeleteI agree with people who comment that non public couples have a right and a duty to protect the privacy of their children. But my response is... why publish any part of them at all? Simply make the happy birth announcement and be done with it.
I would honestly rather see nothing than see some kid's feet or hands. It's just silly, and I have no idea how or why this trend started.
DeleteAll of you complaining, saying they should show the baby’s face or nothing, would be just as upset if they didn’t show any pictures. You are never satisfied. They can do as they please with their child. All of your complaints make you sound like entitled brats. If you don’t understand why parents are more cautious these days, do some research.
ReplyDeleteThat is why I said it is up to the parents to decide !
DeleteNo need to react the way you do. There are more polite ways to tell us what you think.
