Quite possibly, yes.  Do we think the Wessex's decision that no official photographs of Lady Louise are released and the fact that she seems not to be present at official royal events (where other royal children of a similar age were present) is simply due to them wanting their daughter to grow up as unaffected by her position as possible or that it is more to do with suspected health problems?

What would her suspected health problems be, I wonder. Her eye problem was a "Squint" wasn't it?

Supposedly, yes.  It is a bit of a mystery though.  ???

Louise did have surgery so it seems to be pretty serious. 

I think Grace is right that they don't want her to grow up in the press and that is why she is styled Lady Louise Windsor and kept out the the media.  After seeing her couisns, they seem to be making a good choice!

Actually, squint repair is very common and is usually day surgery. I agree with you Duke of NJ, good choice, poor kid can have a "normal" upbringing.

Sophie went through a very difficult pregnancy and nearly died.  She may not be able to have another child.   The couple were photographed with Louise earlier this year during a skiing trip ... They posed for photographers.

Much of this was already discussed in the existing thread on Edward and Sophie so I'm merging the 2. The photos Marlene mentioned were shown in this thread--page 7.

Don't worry about it--no big deal.  :) My brain left the building a long time ago.  :P

She does look quite royal though.  The hand on the chair is great...I wish they would take more pictures like they did before
(Couldn't she have put the pocketbook down ???)

Not the best facial expression... and the pocketbook has got to go. The dress is not my favorite either.

It looks like she was on the way to McDonalds or someplace and they said, "Could we get a photo of you" so she grabbed onto the first chair and stood there, unhappy because she was missing her lunch.

It almost looks as if she's smirking or gloating! Not at all in character for her.
