I really like him and his brother... I hope they'll cope with their parents' divorce...
Getting older he looks more like his father... I have really surprised that both of them have blue eyes, even if Nikolai's ones are darker...

That is such a great picture with the two babies with their great-grandmother. :)

Yes, I think everyone would agree with you that the brothers are so adorable and likeable. They're just too cute for words.
Actually, it's not that surprising that they would have blue eyes. Both their parents carry the blue eyes genes. Their father has blue eyes and their paternal grandparents have blue eyes. Their mother also carries the blue eyes genes because their maternal grandmother has blue eyes and it could be possible that Princess Alexandra's paternal grandfather had blue eyes too, being that her father is half British and half Chinese.
Both boys seem to look more like their father as they get older...which is common...boys do tend to look more like their fathers (not in every family, but more common than not).
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers of the world! :)
March 28....Prince Nikolai and Felix have visited Denmark's national soccer team to survey their training. Denmark will meet the Ukraine on Wednesday for an important qualification match for the Worldcup 2006 in Germany.
What a cute picture! Did Jochaim or Alexandra take them?
Prince Nikolai and Grev Jefferson (son of Princess Alexandra of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg and Count Jefferson von Pfeil und Klein-Ellguth) with HM Queen Ingrid on March 28, 2000
Sorry, but his name is not Jefferson but Friedrich Richard Oscar Jefferson von Pfeil und Klein-Ellgut and his parents calls him Richard.
At first I thought you were wrong about Felix -- that you had mixed up Felix and Nikolai, but on closer inspection I was very surprised to see Felix looking not only so grown up, but a little more like Nikolai. Felix used to have those big, chubby cheeks and much fairer hair and now he and Nikolai are starting to resemble each other and obviously he's lost the baby fat.
Cannot believe that Felix is becoming such a big boy -- I remember still when it was announced that Alexandra was pregnant with him. (Come to think of it, I remember when it was announced that Alexandra was pregnant with Nikolai, too!)

Cirkusfamilien
Af JENS ANTON HAVSKOV
Weekend-far prins Joachim og Alexandra tog de små prinser med til Cirkus Arenas 50 års jubilæumsforestilling.
Blot et par gode stenkast fra Schackenborg Slot havde Nordens største cirkus med Berdino-familien i spidsen og Søs Fenger og Dario Campeotto som gæsteværter slået pløkkerne i jorden til denne velgørenhedsaften, hvor hele entréindtægten - cirka en kvart million kroner - går ubeskåret til Børnecancerfonden.
Og selvfølgelig skulle de små prinser ikke snydes for de farvestrålende indtryk og oplevelser, det er for børn at komme i nærkontakt med klovner, støvet savsmuld,...
...friske hestepærer og brølende elefanter. Og hvad der nu ellers hører sig til i cirkus.
Hidtil varmeste temperatur
Selv hvis der skulle være en del kold luft mellem fraskilte Joachim og Alexandra, så kunne det i hvert fald ikke mærkes. For netop Møgeltønder blev i går stedet, hvor den hidtil varmeste temperatur denne sommer blev registreret: 32 grader i skyggen viste termometret, og inde i det store cirkustelt var der så stegende hedt, at en stor del af publikum hele forestillingen igennem viftede febrilsk foran deres solskoldede næser med de indkøbte programmer i forsøget på at køle sig blot en anelse ned.
Varmen forhindrede dog ikke artisterne i at folde sig ud. Russiske sjippetovsakrobater, spændstige araberheste, 'Verdensartisterne fra Værløse' (ja, det kalder de sig altså) og den forklædte østrigske rengøringsassistent Hosi var med til at sætte højt humør hos specielt prins Nikolai, der morede sig kongeligt.
Ikke mindst under falde på halen-numrene.
Den charmerende lille storebror var også den allerførste til ivrigt at række en hånd højt i vejret, da der blev efterlyst frivillige børn blandt publikum til at deltage i løjerne i manegen.
Det blev dog ikke Nikolai, der fik sit ønske opfyldt om at blive stjerne for en aften. Den tjans var hovedsagelig lagt i hænderne på Cirkus Arena selv og cirkusdirektør Benny Berdino, som inden jubilæumsshowet blev hyldet ved en lille seance med kongelig deltagelse og med taler af kunstner Per Arnoldi og Børnecancerfondens formand, overlæge Henrik Hertz. - Glem ikke at gøgle, sagde Per Arnoldi. Og det gjorde de da heller ikke.
How many people does it take to watch two little boys?! Three nannies plus two parents?! I'm glad they're all together,but, oh man, I wish they would get their marriage straightened out and get back together.:(
I think that is their gardener from their Schackenborg home. Because back when it was Nikolai's fourth birthday, there were pictures taken at the family estate then and there were a few pictures of Nikolai with their gardener. He looks like the man in the above pictures. I could be wrong...so please correct me if I am. Thanks! But yes I totally agree with you Alexandria Felix is growing up so fast it seems. Time sure does fly! I guess it's only right 'cos he is going to be three next month.

I think only 2 of the above 3 are their nannies...I think the other lady in the green is PA's lady in waiting/ secretary... once again please correct me if I'm wrong. But the one thing that I have noticed is that they keep changing the nannies. Is that common amongst royal families? How do the children get accustomed to their new nannies? Don't they form attachments to their old ones or is that the reason why the nannies are changed? So that the children do not grow too attached to their nannies...say more so than they are to their parents?
