Princess Isabella Henrietta Ingrid Margrethe Christened on July 1, 2007

[GlitteringTiaras]

Dr.dk seems to be only available to those with Danish IP addresses. However, I've never had a problem with viewing their stuff live before, and I live in LA.

If there should be a problem, cross your fingers that there won't be, the best thing to do is click on over to NRK.no to watch the christening.

However, again, if neither sites are available live, they will re-air the entire christening later on in the day.

Hang tight and let me figure the problems out so everyone can enjoy the event.

Tak!

DR.dk is working for me so far.

Prinsessedåb

That's the link I'm currently at that seems to be a movie file. There is a placeholder saying that the ceremonies will start at 7am, etc.

[GlitteringTiaras]

Thanks Morhange, that's what I am getting as well.

Let's see, it's 6:34am in Denmark so in about less than an hour the pre-christening commentary will begin. Don't worry everyone you won't miss anything interesting (unless you enjoy listening to people yap for 4 1/2 hours.) The whole shadoodle doesn't start until 11am sharp Denmark time.

[morhange]

Will the guests start arriving around 11? I don't want to just listen to the reporters talk about things when I can't understand Danish :) I'm only watching the pre-christening stuff to see the other royals, but if they won't be arriving until 11, I think I'm going to try and get some sleep for a couple hours.

Phew I don't want to miss anything.

Ladies and gentleman it seems that TV2 is only available to those who pay to watch their stuff on the net.

For we cheapos, kidding of course, the best way to view the christening live is via DR.dk

After the christening is over you will be able to watch the whole thing on either DR.dk (a repeat) or NRK.no/NETT TV.

Finally, when the christening actually begins, at 11am, and you see Mary, Frederik, Christian, and the Little Princess please remember the Empty Post Rule.

I know it's hard to resist screaming Ain't She Cute!, but work with me people, and humor me by resisting the temptation of the dreaded and contagious Empty Post Syndrome.

Let's have an interesting discussion about today's big event and most of all enjoy the christening.

The Queen is leaving Marseilisborg in helicopter, according to TV2, to go pick Prince Henrik up before heading to Fredensborg.

[norwegianne]

The cake shown on tv was absolutely adorable - a small baby formed as decorations, with the Danish guards standing around her.

The guests are walking around at Fredensborg. I saw Haakon and Mette-Marit.

Mathilde of Belgium has arrived

What is this Mads et Monarkiet thing about?

Mads usually has a show called Mads & Monopolet, where he and a panel solves people's problems. For the occasion, it has been renamed Mads and the Monachy, and some problems they're "solving" include child-rearing, and so on.

[dazzling]

I had not really expected to see Mathilde at the christining for some reason, well, great to know she is attending...Also, it seems the sun is shinning so what a great summer christing this is going to be.

[GlitteringTiaras]

According to someone on another board, they said that after the christening the guests will attend a pool party. That's right a pool party.

Invited guests were informed to bring their swimsuits to celebrate this fantastic day. Somehow I doubt weenies and potato chips are on the menu, perhaps something more fancy.

In other words, this christening is an unstuffy event.

Are there any possibilities to watch the christening with the Opera-Browser? The links of GT's post doesn't work for me, because I haven't the Internet Explorer. Thank you for your help.

I had kept losing the connection with Firefox, but now it works great with Internet Explorer.

Thank you for the information, Mathilde & Alexia were great choices, seems i guessed one name right which was Direktør, major Peter Heering

[Princess Robijn]

The Princess now has her own part of the official site.

[UserDane]

Thanks for the list Norwegianne.
Again a confirmation of the special position Carina Axelsson has - she is invited even though she and prince Gustav are not officially engaged. And Marie is not on the guest list.
