Summary of article in Billed Bladet #14, 2017.
Written by Henrik Salling.
Both sides of Felix family were well represented at his confirmation. The DRF as well as Alexandra's mother, her sisters, Martina Bent and Nicola Bairs and at least one of Martina Bent's children, her son Matthew.
As well as his godparents.
They were also those invited to Amalienborg by the Regent Couple for lunch.
PH had before the confirmation returned from Spain. He has an ongoing exhibition in Barcelona. (It has been extended BTW).
Felix has not attended the same preparations as that of his school mates from Krebs School. Instead he was instructed by royal confessionarius, Erik Norman Svendsen, who said: "Prince Felix is both sweet and bright. So that went well. He did not make a single mistake and he said yes at the right times.
I tried to give a good speech to Prince Felix. A speech just for him. It was of course about how glad we have been to have him on the team. But I also said something of principle to him about Our Lord and something personal to him. We know each other pretty well.
He has been both an easy and bright confirmand".
The preparations took place at Garnisonskirken (kirke = church) in Copenhagen.
The proud family also commented after the confirmation.
Joachim: "It went well... He's been confirmed. So I'm very, very proud".
Alexandra: "Prince Felix had a fantastic day which went just as he had wished for, surrounded by his close family and close friends who had come from near and far. He has told me it was one of the very best days of his life, and you can't wish for more as a parent".
Marie: "It's been fantastic! We are very, very proud of him. And he said he'd had the best day ever".
The family posed outside the Fredensborg Palace Church.
Our Marie wearing a dress by Huishan Zhang. A model called Keira.
Mary wore a dress by Ole Yde.
Alexandra and Marie's hair had been done by Dennis Knudsen, who were also among the invited guests for the celebration later.
Before the CP family came out Josephine was seen through the doors doing a couple of dance-steps before coming out holding her older sisters hand.
Inside the church has been decorated by flowers symbolizing Spring.
It was Fredensborg Slotskirke's Girls Choir who sang at the church, with the Music Corps of the Royal Lifeguard playing. The choir is used to singing for QMII at services, but it was a special thing to sing for the whole family. It was noted that the children also appreciated the singing.
Christian is the next in the family to be confirmed, presumably in 2019 when he is 13.
Felix started school a year later than usual as he wasn't seen as ready for school yet.
The celebration took place in a restaurant in central Copenhagen, owned by the Siesbye family. The restaurant located in Store Kongensgade is literally down the street from where Alexandra now lives with Felix, so he and a few friends from his school strolled down the street to the restaurant, looking every inch like confirmands.
Felix had been home to change clothes (which IMO didn't suit him well - too big for him). Nikolai who appears to opt for the cool look these days, or perhaps he forgot his smile at Herlufsholm... Had also changed.
The rest of the guests joined them at the restaurant. (You're gonna love Frederik's outfit!) Joachim wore novel rust-colored pants.
Alexandra showed lots of legs.
Outside the restaurant our reporter caught up with Felix who said: "I've been looking forward the most to seeing family and friends. A big part of the family come from abroad. Not just Europe but also Asia, so I've been looking very much forward to seeing them.
We are ready for party and dancing all evening".
As for the menu: "I haven't decided everything, but some of it".
At the restaurant a DJ was in charge of the youthful music. The party ended around 02.00.
- You can feast on the dresses - and suits - in the Belgian state visit thread, when I get around to scan the mag and write a summary there.
Prince William in the UK was confirmed privately, for that very reason. Does anyone know if Felix received instruction (Catechism) privately or with a group?
But he did attend the instruction with his classmates
