General News about Joachim, Marie, and Family Part 1:December 7, 2007-August 17, 2009

Here are some more photos of the new prince. It looks to me as if his eyes are blue, but it is difficult to know for sure. The eye color of babies usually changes during infancy.

Her er den nye prins - Danmark

Lovely pictures, I was quite suprised that the couple released them a few weeks before the christining, wel couldnt ask for more since we might get another set of pictures. The baby looks lovely and aware of his surrondings, I love his big eyes staring at you.

she only has genes for brown, which is dominant, hence her children with Joachim will always have brown eyes.

I think the little fellow looks a lot like his mother, who in turn looks like Grandpere Alain. An intelligent, serious look, full of wonderment.

I remember in Isabella's first photo shoot, she also seemed to have dark eyes, and everyone said how much she looked like Mary as a baby. Now she is a minnie fred, we see that her eyes were dark blue, as she now has gorgeous blue eyes. It is hard to tell. My blue eyed children always have a vary of shades as new borns, dark blue, grey, greenish untill at around 3 months they become light blue. Amazing innit?

Nice photos. The little prince is beautiful baby.
What I don't like in these pictures that they look so much a like to the CP couple's children.

well it was common knowledge how many people commented on M&M's similarity, plus jo and fred are brothers so that's the similarity!

[rylt11]

I don't think they look anything like their cousins...Christian has a chubby face, while the only blonde child of Joachim's, Felix, had a round face that is now slimming down.

Isabella, I think, looks just like Prince Henrik. None of Joachim's children do. Nikolai's is slim, like his father.

And as for the little one, he looks all Cavallier, the image of Grandpere Alain.

Comment to Auntie in a previous post: I also had blue and green eyed children and know that the final color isn't there yet.
However, biologically speaking, it is the dominant gene, not the recessive, which shows up in offspring. Unless Marie has a blue or green recessive gene, her children will always have dark eyes. Her parents do (but maybe one of them has a recessive gene that she could have inherited). We would have to know the eye color of all of four of Marie's grandparents for that.

The baby has beautiful, expressive, inquisitive eyes. But they are not blue like his father's, and I doubt if they ever will be.

what a cute charming little baby... cant wait for the name..

[crisscross1]

What a handsome little man he is. A little mix of his mother and father and brothers and already so alert.

[leene]

This is a beautiful baby indeed. All babies are cute, but this is also a very goodlooking one!

Lovely little boy, beutiful mother, handsome father.

The family looks wonderful, enjoying the new addition. He, in turn, is alert, watching it all with those gorgeous eyes.

As his grandfather Cavallier commented to reporters when he first saw him - oh, yes, he looks like me.

The christening will be at the church in Mogeltonder, and the reception afterwards will be at Shackenborg Castle.

[Rebafan81]

Wow, what a beautiful little boy, I was very excited to see him again.

[royalty_101_]

are they going to show to the public the christening invitation?

[Sira]

Tha baby is so cute and I love his eyes.
As far as ressemblance is concerned, nothing is fixed as babies change all the time.
Time will tell us from which parent the baby has inherited.

[rylt11]

The bone structure and coloring are similar to his mother's, who resembles her father. Prince Joachim also had a longer, versus rounder, face as a baby, so the little fellow could resemble his dad as well.

He has an intelligent, perceptive expression. Just capturing the world, taking it all in.

Was the monogram in the pictures part of a rug? I can't quite determine how that got into the picture.

[sgl]

Yes, he is laying on the rug, and the monogram appears to be in the center of the rug. I don't know what room this is in, but that is definitely their joint monogram.
