What bothers me is that the royal site has not been updated yet. When Christian was born, and when Alexandran married it was updated quickly , but for the first Princess born to Denmark in 60 years...nothing.

There was an official press release on their website. Perhaps the princess will be added once there are official pictures.

Lady E, to add to Betina's posting. In the UK I think it is generally at last 6 weeks before the baby's christening, but usually more 2 to 3 months. It is not unusual though if it is later than this.

I loved this picture:

TV 2 Galleri

It shows how much afective Mary is and also it has reminded me of when Mary and Fred came home with Christian and Fred had little Christian in his arms and Mary came and thrown her arms around her husband, showing how happy and unite they were. So lovely!

I was thinking about that too. It's better to wait to see who the new princess looks like. I don't have any idea who she looks like now.

Oooohhhh!!! I'm happy!!! For the first time, Princes "obeyed me" and gave birth to a baby which the sex I wanted to! So...Finally, Denmark Kingdom has its little Princess!!!! Prince Christian will have a sister to play with! I would have be very dissapointed if they would have another baby boy.

Congratulations, Prince Frederick and Princess Mary!!! (And of course, Prince Christian)

More video and another from tv2.dk. One more clip which is the better of the two.

This is definitely the quote of the week from one Austrailian news anchor, "One boy, one girl. Do they have a quota to fill?"

That TV2 gallery is the most beautiful set of pictures I have ever seen of the CP family. Honestly. I have never seen the family looking so pure and beautiful. For the first time, they look so perfect that I might forget they are royal and think they are just the most happy family in the world, if only for one deluded moment. Deluded, that is, about the "not royal". They are absolutely happy, no doubts, no delusions there.
It must be because they have never in fact, ever been so happy as they are in those pictures. A man and woman so much in love, and now with two brilliant, bright, lovely, healthy kiddies. How could they be happier?

such beautiful pictures! I personally think "lille pige" looks just like her mother! hopefully it will stay that way, because it's so nice when mothers and daughters look alike. I also hope she has a great relationship with her brother.

how do you pronounce pige? i know lille

Congratulations to the royal couple on the arrival of their baby girl.

I am annoyed with Australian medias lack of royal knowledge and sycophantic coverage of the Danish royals...It all started yesterday when a certain morning show host directed a comment to the Danish ambassador to Australia and he said, "The King and Queen must be very happy with their new granddaughter"...we all know it is Queen and Prince Consort...do they do their research?

Ok, now on to the sycophantic coverage...This morning, the rival morning show host on satellite link to the Danish correspondent asked the question, "Do they get much help (looking after their children)?" and the correspondent replied, "oh no, they have made a conscious decision to limit blah blah blah because Prince Frederik's upbringing blah blah blah"...basically making them out to be matyrs in the way they are bringing the child up practically by themselves...But the truth is, nannies aside, Mary and Frederik live in a very supportive environment...Raising children (to us mere mortals) is more than just the act of being with the children, it is earning an income while doing all the cooking, cleaning, shopping, washing, driving here and there, all with no extended family around to lend a hand...Mary and Frederik have all of these areas taken care of with Margrethe and Henrik, Joachim, John and Susan always close by, a income provided by Danish taxpayers they don't have any worries about money, chefs, housekeepers, stylists/dressers, chauffeurs, lady-in-waiting, personal assistant, regular "me" time for each of them, vacations to recharge the batteries AND a nanny...Gee, being with my kids might be a lot more attractive and desirable if I too had all the other areas taken care of as well!!!

Don't get me wrong...I like the Danish royals but I really dislike it when they are portrayed - through limited nannies or whatever - to be normal, just like you and me, the same struggles and strife as the rest of us...they are not like us, they are privileged and live in a different world...it is not sour grapes with the royals, just that misconception that is constantly played out in the media...

I really couldn't see little princess face that much. I hope to see more of her in official pics. I liked Mary's behavior when she as leaving hospital:she was so natural and spontaneous when she presented her baby to awaiting crowds.

Lilleprinsesse was given a tube of Vegemite from two Australian backpackers at the Rigshospitalet! They called out to Mary and stuck out the tube, Mary laughed and said "She's a little young isn't she?", but Caroline went and accepted the gift

I think not. Ohh, I remember that . When I first heard those words out of Karl Stefanovic, I was like "arn't you a journalist, isn't it your job to report correct information?". How are you supposed to compete with Sunrise. I felt really annoyed as well.

[Noelia A.V.]

The baby is sooo sweet !!!!! Thanks for the pictures.

[Romy]

Great, great pics! This is a real fairy tale family, wonderful parents and such cute children. Lovely to see that they made it like on the day Christian was brought home, their very own and special family traditions...
