These photos are not from the same photoshoot as the JP interview shoot. These were taken in conjunction with Marie becoming the patron of Folkekirkens Nødhjælp (DanChurchAid).

Princess Marie is such a dedicated mother, and dedicated to Denmark as well.

Summary of article in Billed Bladet #06, 2012.
Hyggede med familien - Had a cosy time with the family.
Written by Trine Larsen.

Our Marie turned 36 on Monday and that was a low-key birthday.

Her parents returned home during the weekend, so Marie celebrated her birthday with Joachim, bette Henrik and little Piaf.

QMII dropped by to wish happy birthday, before she continued over to M&F to also wish a happy birthday and say thanks for a nice evening.

Will she be doing some skiing this year?

No.

In fact it will be Nikolai and Felix' mother, Alexandra, who will take the children on a holiday this winter.
But as Alexandra has a bad back, they will not go skiing.
My guess is that they will instead go to Alexandra and Martin's flat in Turkey.

We still see Apple out with Joachim,Marie & Henrik,
but we no longer see the cocker spaniel Winston..............is he still around? And does he travel back & forth between their two homes?

[biboquinhas]

Why the Danish royals are not "allowed" to go out until the christening of the baby? we cannot see Marie out and about only because the baby is not christening yet? Isn't she allowed to go to her parents house in Switzerland and have fun in the slopes for a while? Is that a bad thing?Why? She cannot do it only because the baby is small and it is not allowed by the Royals rules? I know she is in "maternity leave"...but that means that she cannot have a bit of fun and go out of her house?

[iceflower]

That's a false impression. Princess Marie and her little family can go and travel everywhere they like
without any restrictions. There are no rules about that!

Marie is on maternity leave as to official engagements, but she's free to do what she wants. She and
her family are not followed by paparazzi that much, which is good and relaxing for their private life and
their security. And that's the reason why we don't seen them that often.

[biboquinhas]

Yes but my impression is that with Mary was the same thing...she didn't go out at any time during her maternity leave...

[iceflower]

I completely understand what you mean and why you got that impression, biboquinhas,
but it's really as simple as that: they are left alone by the press and can privately enjoy
their family time - just as Mary and her family

[Artemisia]

If that is the case (and I trust iceflower's judgement), then I have utmost respect for the Danish press. It is commendable that they voluntarily chose to leave the new families alone, so to speak, when a picture of the new-born Prince of Princess would be highly valuable.

Article in Billed Bladet #11, 2012.
Nyt kongeligt maleri - New royal painting.
Written by Vibeke Spangsberg.

A new painting of Joachim, our Marie and bette Henrik will be exhibited Saturday at an exhibition on the island of Møn.
The painter, Marcus Stolk, has put together two photographs. One of Jochim sitting and smiling. The other of Marie kissing bette Henrik. The background is rural.

Marcus Stolk explains: "I've chosen to portrait Princess Marie and Prince Joachim in a summer landscape without any references to their royal status. In that way I wish to emphasize their roles as caring and onviously happy parents. This is something other people and and parents can recognice, In that way I attempt to portriat the humanity we all share and the great gift it is to become parents. I also wanted to capture Marie's love for her firstborn. I washed for the painting to exude joy, tranquility and that of setteling together. That's why I have chosen to use the colors we see most in the spring - the three preferred colors in the painting are therefore blue, green and yellow".

- Well, I'm looking at the painting. And it's a lifelike rendition of two photographs, but it is not a portrait.
It can in my eyes be compared to the paintings of crying children. Very lifelike but without a soul.
If I was Joachim I would accept it and hang it somewhere if presented to me, but I wouldn't pay for it.

[Patra]

Are there any pictures of these paintings posted, if so, I would love to see them...

As the thread about the christening of Piaf is locked and will presumably stay locked this goes here instead.

Summary of a number of articles in Billed Bladet #11, 2012.
Written by Trine Larsen and Hanrik Salling.

The journalists have had a look at what happened at bette Henrik's christening and speculated about what is likely to happen again.

There were 150 guests at last christening so a similar number may expected this time as well.
These guests will in many cases have to spend the night somewhere. Schackenborg Kro (inn) has been cleared for that purpose.
Marie's family stayed at Schackenborg last time, while the DRF stayed at Gråsten Slot, less than an hour away.

Schackenborg Kro was in charge of the food and that is likely to happen again. A local florist, Ulla Lykke Alnor from the nearby town of Aabenraa, may be asked to handle the flower arrangements this time as well.

The likable royal confessionarius, Erik Norman Svendsen, is almost dead certain to handle the christening. That doesn't mean that the local priest, Anne Nielsen-Krogh, will be kicked out of her church.

A lot of children are expected to be present. The DRF alone will be present with seven, apart from the little Piaf herself. The last time Joachim had arranged for no less than seven nannies to look after the children.

The royal baptismal font from 1671 will be transported to Møgeltønder for the occasion.

It is speculated that the christening gown will be the same that bette Henrik wore at his christening. I.e. by the designer Henrik Hviid.

Our reporters lists the following names as likely candidates for godparents:
Caroline Fleming.
Edouard Cavallier, Marie's halfbrother.
Gregory Grandet, another halfbrother.
Marianne Engel, Marie's first LiW.
Countess Caroline Søeborg Ahlefeldt-Laurvig, wife of a very good friend of Joachim. Michael Ahlefeldt-Laurvig, who is godfather to Prince Vincent.
Simon Bast, old school chum of Joachim.
Agnete Arnø, wife of Christian Scherfig.
Prince Gustav of Berleburg.
Princess Alexandra of Berleburg.

- And I'm personally very certain that the huge success with the hotdog stand, providing a midnight snack, will be repeated. (That was one of the reason why a hotdog stand was brought to Australia, when M&F visited last year).

Baby Henrik is in school in Mogeltonder, but what happens when they are in Copenhagen? Does he attend class in Copenhagen or have a tutor/nanny to help him keep up

[agami.pearl]

In Copenhagen he attends to local kindergarten, the same as Isabella. It was practised for example when Marie was close to give birth and some time after delivery. Normally Henrik attends to nursery in Møgeltønder, close to palace when he lives with his parents.
