“A hospital for children, adolescents, pregnant women and their families. Where treatment, security, wellbeing and motivation go hand-in-hand.”

When the Crown Princess was finished, she put her notes in the time capsule, along with other things including a red heart made of Lego, a stuffed animal and a stethoscope.

For makeup, she chose a natural look with a rosy cheek, and a rich pink lipstick in a satin finish.

Her brunette locks were worn down, straight and pushed back behind her ears to showcase her face.
