Stilfinderen = the stylefinder in Billed Bladet #18, 2011 informs us that the golden ballarines Bella wore at the christening are from Sofie Schooner. The color is called peach and they can be obtained at the affordable price of 379 DKK. (Just divide by 5 and you have the price in Dollars).

How is $75 affordable? For a pair of kid's shoes that will most probably only be worn ONCE...Oh well! Hopefully Josephine will score Isabella's hand-me-downs?

No girl at Isabella's age wears their gold shoes only once! 
And the amount in Danish kroner is actually a bargain for kid's shoes in Denmark. Like everything else, children's clothes and footwear is expensive here.

I find this very surprising also, may I ask where you have lived in particular?

I was in doubt whether I should write about this now or wait another nine years or so.
Billed-Bladet - Hvordan foregår en kongelig konfirmation?
After baptism comes the confirmation as you know. For ordinary Danish children adhering to the Lutheran faith it takes place when the child is 13-15 depending on where in the country it takes place and what grade the child is in. usually the children have their confirmation at the same time as their classmates. The vast majority of confirmations takes place in May.
Some children, including my own son (so far at least), opt for a nonfirmation, where they are still celebrated by their family, but it's more a rite of passage - and to get presents...
A Lars Fjordbak asks in a Q&A in Billed Bladet #25, how a confirmation takes place within the DRF.
Jon Bloch Skipper replies that the DRF differs from ordinary citizens as they are confirmed alone.
In recent generations the confirmation has taken place at Fredensborg palace church and the priest performing the confirmation is the royal confessionarius. (Right now that would be Erik Normann Svendsen.)
QMII was confirmed in Fredensborg in 1955, Frederik in 1981 and Joachim in 1982.
- It will be interesting to see what will happen at Nikolai's confirmation. That could be an indication of what will happen when M&F's children get that far.
Personally I believe Nikolai will be confirmed with his classmates in Copenhagen and the confirmation celebrated at Alexandra or, but I don't find that likely, at Møgeltønder village church with Erik Normann Svendsen performing the ritual. I think they will leave that to Nikolai to decide.
On the other hand I'm almost certain Christian, Isabella and so on will be confirmed with their classmates. Based on how I know M&F as parents I think that's a qualified guess.

It is interesting this debate about the twins´names. I personally was disappointed by the choices.I like Christian and Isabella very much, but certainly not Vincent and Josephine. And it´s not just because they are old-fashioned names. Here in Brasil, there´s been a revival of old fashioned names, like Antonio, Francisco, Bernardo for boys and Luisa, Antonia, Marina for girls. By the way, Isabella is very popular
for girls, as well, after a multitude of Julias.

I am right there with you. I was waiting a while to see if the names would grow on me, but no, I just don't like Vincent and Josephine. I like Isabella a lot (it's my sister's name), not too fond of Christian, but twin's names are just not pretty names for me.

How common are solo-confirmations? I've never heard about one before, excepts for converts and adults.

It´s not that common. In the 23 years my dad held the job as priest these two were the only ones. He could have had one more, but he didn´t want to confirm his only daughter alone. So he and my mother talked me into being confirmed with my class mates 
In the case of the two sets of twins. The one set was living at the big big farm and the family and friends of the well-known-in-high-society-class parents filled the parishchurch, so it was due to the size of the church that they were being confirmed alone.
The other pair were the only children at that time living in the parish. All the others "konfirmander" lived in the other parish, where my father was priest

The whole christening was uploaded on Youtube, apparently just a few days ago.

It's funny that most people do not seem to like Vincent but I quite like it. Traditional, if not "regal." And such a surprise.
I like Josephine as well. I really love Josie, and I am sure her English-speaking mother called her Josie.
Granted, I would have given them different names, but Mary did not take the time to call me before the Christening!! 
I also like the names Christian, Isabella, Vincent and Josephine as a "sibset" names of siblings should compliment, at least in my book. Nice names all around.
