Estelle was kitted out in a spotty all-in-one skisuit to keep the wintry chill at bay. Her parents put their little one's safety first with a blue helmet.Her father Daniel looked typically stylish in a bright orange and navy blue ensemble. However, her mother Princess Victoria was nowhere to be seen. It has been reported that the mum-of-one sprained her ankle on the trip to Cervinia in the Italian Alps.
