The RF looks great, but doesn't Mary look as though she's a bit distracted? She's seems very solemn. I'm just so used to seeing her bright smile.

Maybe it has something to do with photo number 4: http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...2-post212.html. There seemed to be a little tension between CP Mary and Queen Margrethe and when you see the actual moving video you can see the queen almost swatting Mary's hand away as she's trying to fix Christian's hat while QM is holding him (click on the link http://www.dr.dk/Nyheder/Indland/2006/04/16/110330.htm then click Seneste under TV-og radio to the right of the picture, choose date of April 16, and scroll down to Dronning Margrethe blev fejret af tusindvis i Arhus. I don't mean to cause trouble but it struck me when I saw it.

I looked at the video again and QM didn't swat at Mary but she had this look like 'I'm holding my grandson so get away.' Maybe it was just an awkward moment but like I said, it struck me.

Thanks everyone for the pictures! Christian is absolutely the most adorable little prince. I'm sure Queen Margarethe loves her three grandsons very much but I think she might be waiting for the day she get her princess granddaughter....

I haven't watched the video yet so I really can't comment about the whole Margarethe and Mary thing. I think Margarethe is just loving Christian though with the way she's holding him and teaching him how to wave.

This baby is incredibly adorable, but he looks like a "court jester" in that outfit. I don't blame him for getting fussy and starting to cry. he probably wanted to go in and take the silly hat off.:p

The occasion was HM Queen Margarethe's birthday.

I'm a defender of the hat. It makes Christian look like a baby. Soon enough we'll see him in mini-suits and ties so I think we should enjoy this time. Christian looked like he was behaving well most of the time. The times we saw him fussy is understandable; he's a 7-month old baby on a balcony, with a lot of people watching him, and fussing over his hat with no clue as to why. :)

I must say that Christian is extremely well behaved for a 7-month old baby and very cute as well, I love to see baby boys in costumes or cute clothes and baby girls in dresses!:p

I really like the DRF too. They are becoming my favorite RF but that doesn't change what looked like a very awkward moment between them caught by the camera. It doesn't mean they're at war or that they even dislike each other but, imo, it looks like a moment of disagreement rarely seen.

I definately see where your coming from. Maybe the old saying " A picture is worth a thousand words" could apply here.

These 2 photos are soo cute. I know Her Majesty is just reacting to Prince Christian crying, but from an outside perspective it looks like she's mimicking him.

I see what you mean... I could easily imagine that Prince Christian is quite a heavy royal highness. When I was there, however, it seemed as if Her Majesty simply made a 'funny face' to Christian while she was 'dancing' with him during the Life Guards' performance of "Happy Birthday". That having been said, the Queen did seem to be in some discomfort when she handed Prince Christian over to his mother. I guess that she made a certain movement which really hurt her already stressed back!
