Not sure if this link has been posted, but the Daily Mail has published a story about the new prince:

Denmark's French-born princess gives birth to a son | Mail Online

He also has his own Wikipedia page:

Prince NN of Denmark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I suppose that Prince NN stands for 'Prince No-Name', but I'm not sure.

What an eventful day! Marie, Joachim, and the little one have had a lot of visitors, haven't they? First Grandpa Alain, then Grandpere Henri with the big brothers, followed by Mormor Margrethe, then Tante Mary and (how do you say "uncle" in Danish?) Frederick.

A busy, busy day.

Joachim looks like he's floating on top of the world. He's just so chuffed, happy, this is a wonderful feeling. That he would "shed a tear" as the baby was born is very touching. Very tender hearted, isn't he? Lovely.

Many feel the same as they kept vigil last night. Can't wait to get a look at the little fellow. Just a little look as she steps out to the lobby before going home.

Do you have an idea of the times that the different relatives arrived? Touching that Marie's father would be the first. They are very close, one can see that. He must be so happy as well.

I have many questions, are the news broadcasts being translated? Is Marie's mother's arrival known? Plans to go to Schackenborg or stay in Copenhagen for a while? I'm sure she's not ready to travel yet, but just wondering if there were any plans yet.

The people of Mogeltonder must be ecstatic as well. Do you think the christening will be there (like Felix) or in Copenhagen - I think Nikolai was christened in C.

Wait Mary and Frederick already visited?

I don't believe so. According to this article, Mary plans to visit tomorrow.

Mary: Travl tante - Royalt - SE og HÃ˜R

She had two events today, and didn't get a chance due to her schedule.

Ah thanks for the clarification, I got confused^

Congratulations to Prince Joachim and Princess Marie.

Did not intend to confuse, sorry. I'm joining this rather late and I had just read that Joachim had announced the birth to Mary by calling her. That's where I got the Tante.

I thought they might go today, but tomorrow is probably better. The baby isn't even 24 hours old yet, and Marie surely is ready for some well deserved rest.

Any news from Geneva and her mother yet?

I haven't seen anything, but I am sure that she is most likely on her way, if not already there. I loved seeing the excitement on Marie's father's face this morning! He looked absolutely thrilled, and I never noticed before that Marie really resembles him. They have the same warm smile.

I am not saying I am disappointed that it is a boy...I like it! But I thought, because to me Marie looks to me like a "girl" person that she would be the one to bear Joachim 4 daughters...Two sons with his first wife and four daughters with his second...and besides I would have love to have four little French-Danish girl with French-Danish names...like Heloise, Desiree, Brigitte, Sophie...

All that aside...I can't wait to hear a name...I like the suggestion of Albert although I think of Albert of Monaco and maybe not such a suitable role model...and I do think Alain should be included or Francois because Marie's mother's name is Francoise...just like Mary did with Christian (Henri) and then Isabella Henrietta...both versions of her mother's name...
