Christening of Princess Athena; May 20th, 2012

[American Dane]

Awww, no little chair for Henrik like there was for Christian and Isabella made by their grandmother? He had a bit of trouble getting up.

[Archduchess Zelia]

I can't quite distinguish who the little Princess is taking after, when they left Rigshospitalet I thought she looked much like the little Henrik, but now I'm not so sure. But she sure is adorable.

Could little Henrik be any more adorable! He is sitting so nicely on the chair.

[Artemisia]

Agree, Henrik is just too cute for words.
He appears to be looking at his elder brothers all the time; pity there wasn't enough space for Nikolai and Felix to be with the rest of the family.

- The adorable little girl
- Crown Princely Family
- Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik

I agree with you. They should be sitting all together...
such a shame twins are not there too. but I guess they're still too little and it'd be a problem to handle them

[CarolineMathilde]

Doesn't it look like she has got brown eyes? But yes the princess is adorable and such a beauty already now, just like her mother.

[Madame Royale]

I think it quite lovely that Joachim and Marie should have wed at this particular church and that their two children are also christened there. That's something really special I think.

Little Henrik is so well-behaved! What a little cutie with those big brown eyes

[Catharina]

I still think the little princess looks like her greatgrandmother Queen Ingrid. She really is too cute! I just wish Marie would have a towel or something to wipe her little chin. I can't believe how well-behaved little Henrik is. Does he have brown eyes? Both children are so sweet.

I'd say there was plenty of space for Nikolai and Felix, one of the reporters said that they decided to do it this way to show that Marie and Joachim has a little family themselves, I personally think that if that's the case it's very weird, aren't Nikolai and Felix a part of the family too? I agree, it's too bad for little Henrik, he would have had fun being near his elder brothers.

In the name guessing thread someone mentioned that the bishop conducting the christening said he didnt see any of the names coming!

[carlota]

the molgetonder church is simply beautiful!

oh, marie looks delightful also. i love how natural her hair looks, the simplicity of her dress and her absolutely gorgeous smile. she looks beaming!

i took a screen capture of the gorgeous little princess but seem to have issues posting it...

[Marchesina]

Does the little Princess have a little mole on her right cheek? She's the cutest ^_^

That was me
He sure did, so I guess we're in for a surprise or Erik Norman Svendsen just guessed on some weird names

Bishop Erik Norman Svendsen don´t know the names until very late, when he is presented with a post-it
I saw him talking to TV2 around 14:30 and he didn´t knew the names at that time.

I think that he was presented with the post-it when he and his lovely wife Margit entered the church just before the christening.

I think it is a beauty mark, similar to the ones on Marie's arms. I agree, she is very cute

[CanRoyal]

Baby Princess looks as if she's having those few squirmies and squalls before dropping off to sleep. We'll see if she stays awake or not....


(nice to see this in Canada...)

[Zonk]

IMO if Nikolai and Felix want to arrive with their grandparents, by themselves or Winnie the Pooh than its up to them.

Since the marriage of Joachim and Marie, all the parties have made abundantly clear that they are one family and not two separate enttities so what difference does it matter that they didn't arrive with Joachim, Marie, Henrik and the little Princess? Sorry but they don't need to prove anything to us with a couple of pics...what matters is what happens behind closed doors.
