I think I saw Märtha Louise and Ari before. I'm sure she was wearing a purple outfit. Mathilde was wearing this red poncho thing. I think I might have seen her wear it, or something similar to it before.
Felix didn't seem very happy, he was crying, and Nicolas wanted to hide behind his mother.
It must be very intimidating for this children with all this press taking pictures.

DANISH Crown Prince Frederik and Princess Mary's son has been christened Christian Valdemar Henri John.
The name of the new Danish prince was revealed at the ceremony at Christiansborg Palace church in Copenhagen shortly after 11.30am (9.30pm AEDT), but it wasn't a surprise.
I noticed Prince Nikolai and Prince Joachim passing time playing Rock, Paper, Scissors And I've noticed before, why do Prince Henrik always look like he is so bored when he is in church? I noticed in the wedding as well, he keeps looking around at the details in the church instead of focusing on the service (I shouldn't be critisising him, since I just that myself when I'm in church :p ). And I thought CP Frederik looked awfully tired when he arrived in church, probably not so unusual when you have a baby :)
Otherwise, a lovely service and a good set of names for the little prince!
This is maybe a stupid question, but I'm not so often in this forum. So what is wrong with the Queens eye?

Hi, This is my first time posting although I've been a member for a while. I think the christening was lovely and Mary looked gorgeous. She reminded me of Elizabeth Taylor in some of the images (I think it was the flowered hat), and the way she just glowed.
I also wanted to thank everyone for providing links to the christening. I wouldn't have known where to look otherwise.

I found this funny family tree made out for Prince Christian in connection with an article on his christening: http://www.jp.dk/indland/artikel:aiid=3355430:img=0/ It seems like you can order this poster for 59 DKr + stamps/freight.
Thank you everyone for the welcome. I hope I will be able to contribute worthwhile conversation and information as well as all of you have. But after all the excitement of the christening, and since the time here in WA is around 4 am., I'd better be off. Bye for now.

Absolutely loved it... watched it on sky news Australia and was glued to the screen.
Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess Mary Elizabeth looked, so, so beautiful. The hair, the floral aigrette, the top, the skirt, the shoes, the saphire diamond ecnrusted brooch...
To me, the perfect representation of a Crown Princess.
HRH the Prince Christian..adorable!!!
Seeing both the Crown Prince and Crown Pricness shed tears was quite touching.
