how inteersting. Alex blocks her baby's face; but claire shows us her new born son's face.

That's not blocking the viewer from seeing the baby that is holding a very new baby in the position that is most comfortable for her. I don't see anything sinister in it. Both Alexandra and Gabriel (?) are holding her in. This is more about their or her comfort.
They are a family that is trying very hard to keep close. I feel that they are a bit under the duress of MT but all seem to have good marriages and cute children. I hope they are surviving the unhealthy choices of their parents. Gabriel's crossed arms in the pic with his grandmother is a little (a lot) telling.
It is just a photo of a family that is meeting once a year at their holiday home in Southern France.
Amazing that they still manage to assemble that large family for a holiday. The five children are living in different places.
Guillaume and Stephanie, as thei heirs, in Luxembourg
Felix and family are living in Geneva, Switzerland, and part of the time in Germany
Louis is living and working in Paris, Gabriel and Noah are in boarding school in England (and whenever I see them spending time with their father's family, I am so glad)
Alexandra and Nicholas are also living in Paris. They seem to avoid any public attention, not even a picture of their baby on the official Insta of MT!
Sebastian is in Italy working on a forrest program, if that is still the case.
Gabriel is always awkward in pictures, no matter with whom he is. Most terrible are those pics with his excessive attention seeking mother. I feel sorry for him, but he is the shy one, easy to be manipulated . Noah is different and I hope he'll stay like that.
Just from experience. If there is a large family you cannot expect them all being close. It is just not realistic. People have different characters, are living different lives.
My husband has a large family and whenever I look at the family pictures where the whole clan is present for a special occasion, it is nice to look at, but I know who has what problems with brother, or the MIL or the wifes of the brothers.
Why should that be different in royal or noble families? They are just as us, only richer and more privileged.
