Christening of Prince Henrik: July 26, 2009

[sgl]

Any minute now, MAfan. I can't wait!

Principessa, one of the articles (can't remember which) said that Marie would carry the baby during the ceremony, as this has been a tradition.

Can't wait to hear the name.
The little prince is simply adorable: those big eyes of his can melt anyone's heart. He's extremely cute even when he's crying.

Marie, Mary and Joachim all looked great. And I missed Nikolai and Felix a lot.

I wait.
Being a Catholic, I don't know the program of a Lutheran Christening, and since I don't know Danish, I can't unbderstand it in the website of the DRF...

[Marchesina]

Like his granpa!!!!!

 

[Cici]

Henrik Carl Joachim Alain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice name even though I didn't think that was going to be it.

 

[SarahMaria]

A BIT unexpected name, but then again, not.

 

[asturiana]

Thats beautiful that he has same name as his grandpa, but dont like the name Hendrik.

I figured he would be named after his grandfather!

 

[Viv]

Henrik Carl Joachim Alain!

I've got eggs on my face ... the regal names were excluded ...

[Ccile]

In french it's Henri! it's a beautiful traditional name!

I love the whole name: Henrik Carl Joachim Alain

It's good thatall the children are involved in this ceremony! Isabella is a mummy's girl

 

[MissSaga]

I was SO SURPRISED. I didn't expect it at all, but I think it is a beautiful name After Gran-pa' !

They will surely call him Henrik in Danish, Henry in French.

 

[Catharina]

I'm surprised and at the same time I'm not. I wonder if they will call the little prince Henrik as it might be a little confusing. So, he's named after his grandfathers, his father and his uncle. It's a good name though!

 

[MAfan]

A good choice for the name; the little Henrik has been great, very calm...
My first royal christening!

 

[Paty]

What happened to Isabella?

 

[suztav]

I guessed the correct first name -- Henrik -- although, I thought they would pronounce it "Henri" ...

 

[Marchesina]

I have to say that it sounds a lil' bit cacophonous and I don't like it particulary.It was so tender that little Prince Henrik was smiling when the priest was putting water on his head...but now he's crying!!!

 

[detta]

Which child is crying in the background? Isabella?

 

[lucien]

Henrik Carl Joachim Alain!

I've got eggs on my face ...

Viv

You look lovely....a bit smelly,but lovely....and all wrinkles are vamos tambien...

 

[leonardinha]

It was Isabella who was crying, wasn't it?

 

[asturiana]

It was Isabelle who was crying?

 

[Cici]

I think it was Isabella crying. It looked like Henrik was sleeping.

 

[crm2317]

I wonder what happened to Isabella. She wouldnt go back to her seat and was on Mary's knee and the next minute she was very upset and making a lot of noise and Mary carried her out

 

[MAfan]

Carl or Karl?

 

[lucien]

Thats beautiful that he has same name as his grandpa, but dont like the name Hendrik.

It is Henrik.

Isabella wanted to stay with Mummy up on the altar.

Here's an article about the name:

Here's another article about the name, and the christening:

jp.dk - Prins Henrik Carl Joachim Alain

I was also surprised by Carl, but the baby's names are very lovely.

 

[Marsel]

I love the names, and most of them were pretty predictable (only 'Carl' was a bit of a surprise for me).
It was a really nice gesture to name the little Prince after his grandfather, I am sure Prince Henrik is very proud.

 

[MAfan]

Well, this is his fourth grandson, maybe it was time to name one after him...
