Christening of Prince Christian - January 21, 2006

[bbb]

BEAUTIFUL worth getting up at 3AM for. Love the name. special moments were the interaction between mother and child, fred rubbing her hand during the song and them showing such loving emotion.

finally saw Princess Alexandra... she looks lovely lovely..
it looks like the outfit she wore in finland on 2005

[norwegianne]

Princes Felix and Nikolai are beginning to look mighty tired of all the attention and the strange people. (Or, maybe cold and bored.)

I'm glad I didn't end up going out tonight. Are there any pictures of other guests? I haven't yet seen Guillame, Martha Louise, only briefly saw Mathilde and Phillipe, because I missed the very beginning of the christening.

Yes, Guillaume was there. He was walking out of the Chapel with Marie-Chantal of Greece.

I think I saw Märtha Louise and Ari before. I'm sure she was wearing a purple outfit. Mathilde was wearing this red poncho thing. I think I might have seen her wear it, or something similar to it before.

Felix didn't seem very happy, he was crying, and Nicolas wanted to hide behind his mother.
It must be very intimidating for this children with all this press taking pictures.

Is it really such a bad habit? The nurses told me that I could do this when my baby wouldn't quiet down instead of using a dummy.

Perhaps it might only be bad because the little one is sucking on a nail that has polish on it (toxic substance, etc., you get my drift :) .

I'd expect her not to put nail polish on the one finger she'd use as a mock dummy. Possibly she tends to do that on occasion and surely she is clever enough to realize that you don't feed nail polish to your kid. Anyway. We'll never know.

what i understand there will be a dinner for someof the guests not a officiak one do you think we will see any photos of that i mean them arriving

[KikkiB]

I noticed Prince Nikolai and Prince Joachim passing time playing Rock, Paper, Scissors And I've noticed before, why do Prince Henrik always look like he is so bored when he is in church? I noticed in the wedding as well, he keeps looking around at the details in the church instead of focusing on the service (I shouldn't be critisising him, since I just that myself when I'm in church :p ). And I thought CP Frederik looked awfully tired when he arrived in church, probably not so unusual when you have a baby :)

Otherwise, a lovely service and a good set of names for the little prince!

This is maybe a stupid question, but I'm not so often in this forum. So what is wrong with the Queens eye?

Not at all...

As far as I know, HM the Queen Margrethe was in a car accident with her beloved mother (the then Queen Consort Ingird) when she was a young girl and as a result, a deformation of the eye was what was sustained by the young Princess. Neither mother nor daughter were severely hurt (that's if you dont percieve an eye injury to be severe, but I think it's a little severe).
