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

I think he has more Cavallier factions, like his mother and grandfather Alain. I think he has a very pensive, inquiring look about him that resembles his mother and grandfather. Maybe it's the dark eyes...

Both parents are good-looking, so he will probably be a very handsome man.

He has his Fathers Eyes in my opinion

Marie looks amazing. You would never guess that she gave birth just over two months ago! I love seeing Joachim with the little prince in the carrier
They are such a sweet family!

[Marsel]

That's a lovely picture, thank you Paty!
Both Joachim and Marie look great: I love the fact it's Joachim who carries the little Prince in a carrier – he’s been a doting and hands-on father to all 3 of his sons.

Thanks paty the picture is really cute and they look so happy, nice to see the baby boy carried by Joachim

[rylt11]

Marie looks incredible, she's a very natural, good-looking mother. Joaquim looks so happy, it's wonderful to get a second chance at living a fulfilled life, with new children, laughter, in his large estate. Their happiness is so evident. Beautiful to see.

(Wish he'd chosen less baggy shorts!)

if you need the translation of this article tell me

[rylt11]

These pictures are exquisite. Prince Joachim is all tenderness .... Very touching.

[Sereta]

What a cute baby. Marie seems to have lost the baby weight already.

[rylt11]

Where has Appel gone? We have not seen that little dog in a long time!

Billed Bladet has an article about the ring that Princess Marie received as a gift from Prince Henrik (not the baby):
Billed-Bladet - Maries smukke ring - prinsgemalens flotte gave

It is an aquamarine and it was a gift to Marie from her father-in-law shortly after the birth of the baby.

[Ccile]

It's really kind of him to offer this present to his daughter in law! I guess we can say that Marie is well integrated in this family!

[ashelen]

I am sure being both french the have an special bond!!!!

[Leslie2006]

Awww! little Henrik looks like both of his parents. So cute! He's 3/4 French and 1/4 Danish.

[rylt11]

Yes, he is Joachim's third son, and the first to be raised bilingual in French and Danish from the outset. Prince Henrik the grandpere finally has some compatriots in the family.

The ring he gave Marie is beautiful, indeed, and looked stunning next to the baby's baptismal robe with the blue ribbon. Henrik was also wearing a medal, does anyone know what that was?

Lovely pictures, beautiful day, happy to see the parents of the baby so at ease and happy, it is genuine and comes through. Marie has made a very quick recovery to her pre-pregnancy figure. She looks terrific.

According to this article in BilledBladet - Billed-Bladet - Lille prins Henriks rørende gave fra oldemor - it was a gold medaillon given to him by Marie's grandmother when Joachim and Marie visited her with Henrik just before the christening.

So do I, Marsel!

The article also says that the medallion had a cross and a lamb on it, which are symbols of a blessing.
