Godparents are numerous for royal youngsters - and the options are seemingly endless!

Who do you think will be bestowed the honour of being godparent of Joachim & Marie's second child?

---

Prince Nikolai's Godparents:
The Crown Prince of Denmark
The Earl of Wessex
Peter Steentrup
Nicola Baird
Camilla Flint

Prince Felix's Godparents:
Count Christian Ahlefeldt-Laurvig
Oscard Davidsen Siesby
Damian Sibley
Martina Bent
Annick Boel

Prince Henrik's Godparents:
The Crown Princess of Denmark
Britt Davidsen Siesbye
Christian Scherfig
Charles Cavallier
Benjamin Grandet

 
For a Prince:

Prince Gustav of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg
Gregory Grandet
Prince Carl Philipp of Sweden
Vincent Diego
Peter Heering

For a little Princess

Princess Alexia of Greece and Denmark
Edouard Cavallier
Princess Märtha Louise of Norway
Anne-Marie Diego
Caroline Heering
 
Uh well seeing as the others have 5 godparents, I'd believe this little prince/princess will have the same amount of godparents.
My guess:

Princess Alexandra of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg
Gregory Grandet
Edouard Cavallier
Bendt Wedell (or his wife Pernille Wedell)
Agathe de Sacy
 
for a princess:
Princess Benedikte of Denmark
Princess Tatiana of Greece and Denmark
Britt Davidsen Siesbye
Henriette Steenstrup
Françoise Grassiot

for a prince:
Prince Nikolaos of Greece and Denmark
Count Richard von Pfeil und Klein-Ellguth
Edouard Cavallier
Peter Steenstrup
Oscar Siesbye

I'm confused by these suggestions - you seem to both say that for a boy, all men godparents and for a girl, all women godparents?
There's usually a mix?
 
Princess Nathalie zu-Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg
Prince Nikolaos of Greece and Denmark
Edouard Cavallier
Other two: friends of young parents (man and woman)
 
Pity that Nicolai is still too young...
Or maybe he will have been confirmed by that day? (or attending a course preparing to confirmation)
 
Maybe they'll choose queen margarethe as godmother other royals and friends, I can guess but it usually ends up being other people.
 
Pity that Nicolai is still too young...
Or maybe he will have been confirmed by that day? (or attending a course preparing to confirmation)
IIRC, then he´s in 6th grade now and the confirmation is in 7th (some places 8th) grade :)
 
I did not know Prince Edward was Prince Nikolai's godfather.

I think the usual Royals will be chosen, perhaps Mary and Frederik, Haakon and Mette-Marit etc. I can't see any British Royal's being asked.
 
I think we can discount Mary - seeing as she's Henrik's godmama. Frederik has a chance as Nikolai is grown up.
 
I can´t see them asking CP Frederik to be godparent again. He got the honour with the firstborn :)
 
Going by Joachim with Alexandra and Marie's previous choices it seems there may be two things we can be certain of IMO:

1. There will be 5 godparents in all, 3 of the same sex as the child and two of the opposite gender
2. Unless someone new joins the Danish/Greek/Berleburg family (like Mary after Felix's birth but before bette Henrik's), there probably won't be any royal godparents. So perhaps Tatiana may be a godmother but as Nikolaos isn't one himself, that seems unlikely.
 
Prince Gustav
Prince Haakon
Prince Pavlos
Princess Nathalie
 
Prince Nikoloas
Princess Alexandra or her sister Princess Natalie
Carina Axelson
Sibling of Marie
Mutual friend/s of the couple.
 
God Parents for Marie and Joachim's second child:

Boy:
Marie's brother, Edouard Cavallier
Marie's other brother, Gregory Grandet
Prince Nikolaos of Greece
Princess Nathalie
A friend of Marie

Girl:
Marie's brother, Edouard Cavellier
Marie's Brother, Gregory Grandet
Princess Nathalie
Princess Theodora of Greece
A friend of Marie

Gregory Grandet
Edouard Cavallier
Princess Natalie
2 friends of the couple
 
Godparents:
- Gregory Grandet
- Edouard Cavallier
- Gustav of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg
- 2 more friends, possible: Henriette Steenstrup or Agente Arnø or Caroline Fleming
 
:previous:
Agnete Arnø is actually a really good suggestion, her and Marie seems to be pretty close.
 
More guesses:

Princess Benedike
Princesses Alexandra and Nathalie
Princess Alexia
 
If there'll be any royals among the godparents, I think it'll be one of Joachim's cousins like Nikolaos, Alexandra or Gustav. I think the godparents will consist mainly of:
Two friends
Marie's two remaining brothers
A cousin of Joachim
 
My predictions are:
two brothers of Marie
royal cousin of Joachim - Nikolaos, Nathalie or Alexandra
2 friends of the couple: Caroline Fleming, wife of Christian Scherfig (she was Marie's bridesmaid)
 
Considering Nik is the only one with foreign royals, I think we can rule them out. The only royals I'd expect, would be relatives. Fred and Mary have already been used. I doubt they'd reuse any godparent.

Princess Nathalie- for Benedikte's family
Princess Alexia-for AM's family
Agnette Ano- close friend of Marie's
Edourd Cavallier-Marie's brother
Gregory Grandot-Marie's brother

Two family from each side, and one close friend.

Why not a godparent from the elder Prince Henrik's family? Also, HRH Princess Madeleine of Sweden, TRH Princesses Beatrice/Eugenie of York, HH Princess Martha Louise of Norway all come to mind as potential godmothers. Any two of Marie's four brothers as godfathers would be wonderful choices.
 
I figure there won't be a large royal turnout, except for the DRF. I believe all the adult family members have been chosen as godparents to Joachim's existing children. It would be lovely to see Queen Anne Marie, Prince Gustav of Berleburg or one of his sisters.
 
I think the little princess' godparents will be like Prince Felix's godparents, consisting only of friends of the parents. If there'll be a royal amongst the godparents, I'm certain that it'll be a cousin of Joachim.

Gregory Grandet
Eduard Cavallier
Agnete Arnø
Henriette Steenstrup
Agathe de Sacy

(if there'll be a royal godparent, I believe it'll be either Prince Gustav of Berleburg, Princess Alexandra of Berleburg or Prince Nikolaos of Greece).
 
My final guess for godparents:

Edouard Cavallier
Gregory Grandet
Prince Gustav
Princess Nathalie
Agente Arno
Caroline Fleming
