This is some wonderful pictures of the CP-family.

I notice it every time and more and more... How Christian, Isabella and Vincent all resemble their father very much. Josephine really is a copi of her mother. As the only of the four children. A mini-Mary, isn't she? Completely same shape, smile and eyes.

Bravo, Your Majesty

Yes. Bella is a pleasure. She has become older and know how to act like a little lady now, but don't be fooled. Her exuberant and entertaiment spirit is right in there behind... But official she has given over that part to her little sister

I still think that Christian is the one that resembles Mary the most, he has Mary's pointy noise, same eye shape...Josephine resembles Mary as well, but she has her own features that are neither Fred neither Mary. Bella will be forever Fred. Vincent is the one I always had difficult to say which parent he resembles the most, but nowadays I find him more like fred.

[carlota]

i also think that all the kids resemble frederik, except for josephine who is more donaldson. i find vincent very similar to his uncle joachim, in fact i think he could pass as the fourth brother of felix, nikolai and henrik.

funny how josephine has taken over from isabella as the family's very own entertainer :)

While the audience claps for the show, little Josephine decides to practice the little dance moves she just learned

in this photo Vincent is a mini Frederik. while Josephine and Isabella have no doubt inherited the Queen's love of the arts and ballet

Their home life at mealtimes must be the same chaos as everyone elses family with kids of the same age.

Okay, if you think you can handle the sweetness-overload, here is a BB video showing Bella, but in particular Josephine dancing ballet after the recent performance in Tivoli. SE VIDEOEN: To prinsesser let på tå: Isabella og Josephine dansede juleballet ud af Tivoli | BILLED-BLADET


Summary of article in Billed Bladet #49, 2016.
Written by Marianne Singer & Ulrik Ulriksen.

While Joachim and our Marie accompanied PH to Italy, the rest of the family, including Queen Anne-Marie, went with QMII to Tivoli to see the premiere of the ballet The Nutcracker. Where QMII has been the scenographer.

Shortly before 18.30 QMII accompanied by a manager of Tivoli walked through the garden to the Tivoli Concert Hall, where the ballet is performed.
Well arrived, she went backstage to wish the dancers good luck.
Twenty minutes later M&F and children arrived with Josephine in the lead.
Behind them came Alexandra with Felix holding bette Henrik's hand. Nikolai was prevented from attending since he is boarding at Herlufsholm.

During the intermission the party walked to the nearby and exclusive restaurant Nimb. And after a few refreshments QMII led the way back to the concert hall, holding two of her granddaughters hands.
A number of close friends and associates of QMII were also present.

At the end of the performance QMII joined the ensemble and people behind the ballet on stage and curtsied to the audience.
The family and general audience gave a standing ovation.
Queen Anne-Marie sat next to a by now somewhat sleepy Henrik. But then two hours can be a long time for a child. The performance ended at 21.15. (I guess ballet isn't that interesting to a boy who has a deep interest in cars... ).
It's also here the photos of a somewhat puzzled Josephine standing in front of her mother, were made. (Perhaps she was wondering what farmor was doing on stage. She's not a ballet-dancer, is she?!? )

But it was on the way out of Tivoli that Isabella and Josephine performed. Walking, or rather dancing, in front of the rest of the family.
The perhaps somewhat less inspired (or impressed if you will...) boys instead walked quietly besides their parents.

The articles says the Bella has previously attended a dancing school. But it isn't clear to me whether one or both girls have dancing lessons now.

And here you can see the article: BB #49, 2016

That's so sweet

[Tarlita]

Josephine is a typically expressive little girl, just as Bella was at that age. Gosh the energy of these kids must keep Mary and Fred on their toes.
Mang Tak for the translation Muhler, excellent value for us as always.

[Muhler]

No doubt! Things must sometimes be very lively at M&F's home!

thank you Muhler. This made me laugh, Josephine was amazed/inspired by grandmother on stage.
Glad the Queen had her family there.
The kids looked well behaved and that they enjoy the performance, but once outside, well its time to do a few dance moves. Maybe they will start the tradition of dancing around the Christmas tree

Prince Henrik, Prince Joachim and Princess Marie were in Italy(Naples and Amalfi) during the Hunt and the ballet.

Tomorrow, the Queen and Crown Prince Frederik will be attending an event together.

"H. M. The Queen and HRH The Crown Prince participates in the 10th anniversary conference of the Galathea 3 expedition.

Galathea 3 expedition proceeded from Amaliehaven 11 August 2006 and returned to Langelinie eight months later on April 25, 2007. Aboard the ship "Aries" was researchers in a number of research fields.

On the occasion of the 10th anniversary organizing Royal Danish Geographical Society, a conference on the research results, the expedition has helped so far."
