This was a beautiful christening. So glad the baby was named after Henrik, and that both Joachim and Alain were included in the names. The tribute to Carl is also toucing, if done as a tribute to Queen Ingrid's brother, who attended the christening.
Lots of family ties with those names, just beautiful.
The flowers amazing, the way they decorated the church's altar was delicate and very classic, much though and good taste went into this.
All very special, except the dresses - so much beige, and BLACK! Black at a christening? I liked the capelet effect of Prince Gustav's girlfriend - it looked feminine, yet subdued, not a little sweater, as Mary wore. Marie's lace dress did not show well, it looked old fashioned and bunched up at the neckline (the white underdress - lining). Her face and hair were stunning. Joachim beaming, genuinely touched (unless it was pollen allergy that caused the kleenex).
Surely the queen will have a word with Joachim's older two boys about paper airplanes in church. She kept glancing over for a reason.
A lovely ceremony over all. Now Schackenborg has young life again, that in itself is fulfilling. Good for Joachim, Marie, and the family. Many blessings.
