Even though Copenhageners would like to say that there is nothing happening in the province - there is hospitals out there too.

Marie's mother seems very sweet --- soft-spoken. I recall her voice from the video on Marie. What a lovely lady. I'm sure it's comforting for Marie to have her mother there now. It's a beautiful picture.

It looks as though they're in a restaurant somewhere (Copenhagen, I guess). Can someone translate what the article says.

I guess her mother will be joining the royal family? There is no mention of a dad or stepdad having come with her, so I guess she wouldn't be left stranded for Easter.

Isn't Marie supposed to deliver at a specific hospital right in Copenhagen?

[JessRulz]

The press release issued announcing Marie's pregnancy stated that 'it is expected the birth will take place at Rigshospitalet (Copenhagen University Hospital)'. However, if the need arised and they couldn't make it to Copenhagen in time or there was some complication preventing them from travelling, I'm sure they would go to the closest hospital.

[rylt11]

Did Marie's mother come to Denmark alone, with her husband, or Marie's father? Was she with the rest of the royals for Easter? I cannot imagine they would exclude her from whatever they were doing.

Can't help thinking that they will await the birth in Copenhagen rather than travel out to Schackeborg and then back again when the birth is imminent. I wonder if that's what they're actually going to do.

I'm not at all fluent in Danish, but tried translating bits and pieces of the article. I may be all wrong, but does it say that they will be going to Schackenborg and then returning to Amalienborg so they can be closer to the hospital?

I believe another article mentioned May 16 as the due date.

I'm pretty much filling in many blanks as best I can, as I don't know Danish.

Can anyone translate or write the gist of what it says? It would be much appreciated.

Billed Bladet has an article stating that Princess Marie has no more engagements at this time. According to the article, she is waiting for the baby to arrive, and is preparing to deliver the baby in Copenhagen. Her doctor and midwife are currently on standby, and the princess has cancelled plans to appear at an engagement at the Royal Theatre on 26 April. Prince Joachim is planning to attend this event by himself.

I wouldn't be surprized if the baby was born some time next week even. I somehow have a feeling we won't have to wait until May. But that's just a feeling.

Marie's mother indeed looks stylish. I wish I could see her lovely brooch better, so I could see what it is made of...

[windsorgirl]

I thought Marie looked very tired at the Queen's birthday balcony appearance, so I hope that the baby makes its appearance soon.

Joachim and Marie did not join the Queen for Easter this year.
Billed Bladet had a report about who was where for Easter.

Thank you very much for the pictures, iceflower.
I am very fond of Joachim and Marie, they look lovely in this picture. Joachim is a perfect gentleman, I love how he opened the car door for Marie.

[dazzling]

Nice to see Marie out and supporting Joachim at a race. I know she has been to a few. She also looks well and healthy.

[rylt11]

Yes, both Marie and Joachim look very well. How nice that he won a few trophies and flowers as well!

It's nice to see that she is up to doing her regular things one month after giving birth.

I do hope that there will be pictures of the little prince as he arrives at his grandfather's birthday party. I understand the celebrations will last a couple of days, so I'm supposing he'll be travelling with his parents this time.

[rominet09]

She has already regained a perfect figure ! Congratulations

Here's another article about Prince Joachim's birthday race:

Billed-Bladet - Prins Joachim sikrede sig selv gaver på fødselsdagen

He spent the day at the race track with 100 drivers who are also interested in classic cars.

Look at the birthday cake Joachims cutting, how sweet it is. It was nice that the prince was taking part in one of his hobbies on his birthday.

[rylt11]

Really nice pictures of Joachim and Marie. He's having a great time.

Who is the redheaded woman behind Marie in the picture? She is often seen with them, probably a good friend I think. She isn't the LIW.

Marie didn't gain an extra ounce during the pregnancy and has managed to get right back to pre-pregnancy figure. That is wonderful. She looks terrific and he looks so happy - all the trophies, bottles of bubbly (or wine?), cake, etc. What a happy day.

Looking forward to seeing pictures taken at Henrik's birthday celebration. That will be really nice, too. Secretly hoping Marie won't show up in purple.

In which picture is this Red-headed woman?
I'm secretly hoping she wear navy. And Mary wears purple
