Thank you for the translation, Lilla. Now it all makes sense. It would be wonderful to watch it in "real time", but I don't know if that will be possible from here on the east coast of the US. Videos are an excellent substitute.

Indeed, the family is definitely complete now that Marie and Joachim have had their own child. Have Christian and Isabella met the new prince? It might be a good idea for them to have been with him a little before the actual ceremony. They're so funny when left to their own interests...like at the parade for their grandfather. It's a little different in a church.

Any news yet on who the Godparents will be ??????????????

sgl · #**283** 07-12-2009, 01:02 PM

Not yet. They usually announce it just before the actual christening ceremony. We will know on July 26.

Lumutqueen · #**284** 07-12-2009, 01:55 PM

I think releasing the godparents just before the ceremony is a rather silly idea. They should be released the week before. I understand the name thing.

Are there any news if the christening will be broadcasted via internet?

Paty · #**286** 07-15-2009, 08:34 AM

Considering that Tv2 and DR broadcasted the christening of Isabella, and also Joachim and Marie wedding, maybe they will do it this time as well. But we will know closer the date.

Is there a video of Isabella's christening? I remember seeing the arrival of Frederick and Mary for Christian's christening, but not the actual christening at the font. Do not recall any videos filmed at Isabella's christening.

There are a few news clips in the thread about Isabella's christening (or there were) particularly the part where Mary says her name. Just check in Mary and Frederik's thread.

Failing that there is probably something on You Tube.

Did find some on You Tube --- thank you for the suggestion.

There seems to be no news from Schackenborg.

A few days ago there was an article in one of the danish Newspapers that TV2 will not broadcast the Christening live as the have a Contract to show the End of the Tour de France live (which takes place at the same day and time then the Christening).

The family was in France for the holidays. There's a special report in the issue of Billed Bladet. Here's the cover.

Thank you for posting the link to the cover.

The little prince is a precious boy and Joachim appears t o be a doting father (as he was to his 2 elder sons). Were Felix and Nikolai with them?

You are right Stefan. The article also said that DR will be broadcasting live and so will TV2 NEWS.

I believe that the last time they stayed at the chateau was shortly after they were married, in either June or July of 2008. The newlyweds stayed there with Felix and Nikolai (and Apple, of course). I love the photo of Joachim putting the hat on his adorable little prince while Marie smiles happily!

http://www.billedbladet.dk/%7E/media...?as=true&w=445

The cover says, "We found Marie and Joachim in France", but doesn't say where they stayed. The main headline is, "Father looks after the little prince". Underneath it says, "sleep safely in Joachim's arms" and underneath something like, "grandmother had to see the little one before the christening". I am assuming that they are visiting Marie's family, since the Queen is still in Denmark, but the cover doesn't say.

rylt11 · #**296** 07-18-2009, 09:34 PM

Yes, I had hoped that Marie's grandmother would either go to Denmark for their first anniversary to see the little prince, or that he would be brought to her in France. He's quite young to be traveling internationally, isn't he?

He looks adorable, though it's difficult to see how he is being held and getting a hat as well --- too many letters in the way. He looks like a good baby, sleeping and eating, not giving trouble. Wonderful expressions on his parents' faces.

I'm sure Marie's grandmother was very happy to see him. I hope we see her at the christening and have pictures of her, as we did at the wedding, holding Marie's hand.

Is the text of the article available?

carlota · #**297** 07-19-2009, 12:00 AM

lovely picture of the couple in france. maybe they stayed at marie's mum's hotel?

They are staying with Princess Marie's paternal grandmother, la baronne Odile de Sairigne, somewhere in Southern France! The article doesn't give away the exact location; if they did it would be a tid-bid for photographers and straying Danish tourists! The article also suggests that Marie's grandmother won't be travelling to the christening due to her age.

LadyS · #**299** 07-19-2009, 03:46 AM

The little prince is so sweet. Those hats must have been on special or something aren't the similar to the ones Mary and Frederik wore during their holiday?

(Just teasing obviously)

sgl · #**300** 07-19-2009, 10:53 AM

Thank you, Viv for the explanation. When I saw the term 'grandmother', I assumed they meant the baby's grandmother, not Marie's. It was very nice of Joachim and Marie to take the little prince to see his great-grandmother. It is too bad that she won't be able to travel to Denmark for the christening.
