[empress sissi]

Finally we have pictures with little princess! Beautiful photos, beautiful familly!

[Naggi]

very sweet pictures. the little princess is very cute.

[Danish girl]

Wonderful pictures. Just aww!

[IloveCP]

Great pictures! The baby is so cute!

[Tiggersk8]

I had a feeling those pictures were due soon. It's been three months and IIRC, that's around when we saw the pictures of the other Danish Royal Babies born the last few years. So not really that unusual for us to wait so long IIRC.

She's adorable and I adore the picture of Nikolai cradling her w/Felix beside them. So very sweet.

So young and yet obviously has them all wrapped around her little fingers. Can't wait to find out what her name is. :o)

You do mean two months, right?

[Archduchess Zelia]

It sure feels like it's been three months although it's only been two

[dazzling]

What an adorable baby girl! I can't tell who she looks like, she's such a pretty baby. I like the setting of the room, looks like a babies room IMO, maybe the little Princesses room.
I really like how all the boys were included and not just Henrik.

[Countessmeout]

She is so beautiful, and the whole family looks possitively in heaven. The proud big brothers, and the dad is definitely in love with his little girl.

[Molly2101]

My ovaries just wept! What beautiful images of a beautiful little family. Prince Nikolai and Prince Felix look chuffed to bits with their new baby sister. I cannot wait to find out her name now!

[Sonjapearl]

I love that pic of Henrik on Nikolai's shoulders.

Beautiful baby!

[ashelen]

Stunning pictures!!! beautiful familly , the baby is so cute! i can not tell jet what colour of eyes she has some photos look like blue some others like Marie, hum is a mistry at the moment!
thank you for positing them!
God bless them!

[Baroness of Books]

If anything, I love the expression on the baby's face as she's looking at her father. I'm going into sugar shock! And in the group photo, Marie is so concentrated on the baby she's not even focusing on anyone else. What a beautiful family, indeed.

These photos are well worth the long wait.

Prince Joachim, Prince Nikolai and Prince Felix attended Top Gear Live at the Forum in Copenhagen on March 29, 2012.

Thank you, Iceflower

That must be the ultimate show for all three boys.

- I notice Joachim has joined the Red Pants Movement.

Don't tell anyone, but the Stig who performed in the show last night was a stand-in. - It is as you know a well known secret that Joachim is the Stig.

[Catharina]

Just when you think everyone has forgotten about the red pants TADAH! they suddenly appear. Didn't see that one coming! Time for a new collage..?

I only just saw the new pics of the little princess and the family. Oh, she is precious! Such a little cutie pie. I don't know why but for some reason I'm thinking of her greatgrandmother Ingrid... I hope she receives a beautiful name too.

Edit: Just noticed Joachim is wearing a blue shirt with the red pants. He as well?! Is it some kind of secret uniform between the brothers or what is it with these colour choices...

Perhaps Joachim has been told to loosen up and be a bit like his brother and as Joachim, being the gentleman he is, has no idea about how to dress casual, he has gone all out. - Hence the red pants.

Our Marie:
A) Didn't say anything because she adores her Joachim.
B) Has a great sense of humour and she stayed at home giggling the rest of the evening.
C) She is the mastermind behind all this and we can expect even more outrageous outfits from Joachim. - You wives don't realise how much power you have over your husbands. We'll wear anything you "suggest" either because we don't care or to get some peace.

It will be interesting to read about Jeremy Clakson's reaction in BB today. Judging from the pic I saw of him, he looked positively stunned.

[Kataryn]

Thanks for the good laugh, Muhler.

But there is nothing able to disfigure a beautiful man - not even red or purple pants, as the Danish princes prove...

Summary of article in Billed Bladet #14, 2012. (*)
Prinser i Top Gear - Princes in Top Gear.
Written by our motoring correspondent Trine Larsen.

The Top Gear show visited Copenhagen last week and (naturally) Joachim and his two oldest boys went to see it.
Our reporter caught the trio on the way in and Joachim, accompanied by some of his petrolhead friends said: "I'm looking forward to see what they have come up with. I like to watch Top Gear on TV and as often as possible". (**)
Joachim admits he's a fan of the show: "It's so well put together and funny. It's refined/sophisticated but at the same time it has a rough edge, which I like. There is bullying but in banter like way, so I'm very amused".

Q: Isn't it... pardon the expression... a laddish show? (***)
J: "Ha, ha, yeah...no swearing in front of the children.
But yes, it's true, it is. And in the TV-show there is what you call good machine shop humour". (****)

And the almost exclusive male audience (*****) had a great evening. Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Danish Anders Breinholt were hosts.
Volvo's (being the natural friends of caravans) were flattened, cars were used as curling stones and Anders Breinholt was placed in a shopping trolley and used as a bowling ball, pushed by a car.
Joachim, Felix and Nikolai met the hosts after the show back stage and Nikolai and Felix got autographs. They left around 22.00.
By then our reporter was waiting for them.
The Princes said: "It was a lot of fun".
The show was in English but Felix said: "I understood most of it".

Q: Have you seen your dad make some of the tricks and stunts, which we saw in there?
N&F: "Nooo..".
J: "Well, that was an honest reply.
It has been a lovely evening and nice to share it with the boys. But now it's time to go home, they are going to school tomorrow".

(*) As the observant among you may have noticed this is Tuesday and BB usually hit the streets on Thursdays. That's because of Easter.

(**) He's in luck then. The same network, TV3, that featured a series with Joachim racing, show Top Gear constantly and yes, it's a favourite at the Muhler home as well. Mrs. Muhler too! Her favourite is James May.

(***) A nuance is here lost in the translation. The Danish word for laddish is drengerøv = boy's-arse.

(****) Machine shop humour = værkstedshumor = Dirty jokes, male banter, jokes that are in no way politically correct. In short: Fun!

(*****) Wonder if that has something to do with the Hamster not being there? I once visited a fansite dedicated to him and if you think this board can sometimes be obsessive about royals, you ain't seen anything! The exclusive female members positively dissected Richard Hammond!

Kataryn, you flatterer, you.

Der er vist dømt sovs = The rulings says: sauce = said when something is a little bit over the top.
