ysbel said:Since we have more than a month to wait for the christening, does anybody know the general ceremony for the christening of the heir? Will it be much different than the christenings of Felix and Nikolai?
Louise said:I don't think so. Both Nikolai and Felix baptisms were like every other baptism in Denmark, apart from some of the "equipment" used (candlesticks etc.). My guess is that this is going to be the only difference at Lilleprinsens baptism as well. the ceremony it self is exactly the same as at every baptism in a danish church.

'..bonfires in the streets of Copenhagen' LOL - we usually only have that after EU votesgaluhcandrakirana said:http://www.themercury.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5936,17776333%255E3462,00.html
When the baby was born on October 15, his arrival was welcomed with bonfires in the streets of Copenhagen, echoing an ancient Viking tradition.
Marengo said:I think christenings are considered rather private (even when telivised), so I assume that the only non-danish royals will be the godparents of the child, most likely the crownprince of Norway (+ spouse) and the crownprincess of Sweden.
To pollyemma: the only non-dutch royals at the christening of Amalia were CP Victoria of Sweden (godmother), the crownprince and crownprincess of Belgium and the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Luxembourg (to celebrate the Benelux-connections maybe).

The guestlist for the christening will probably be released before time, until then, the royal guests will still be all speculative (for exception of norwegian royals, and victoria of sweden). the british may send a representative or not, but we'll have to see the actual guestlist released by the royal house for that.
I don't know how many people Christiansborg Palace Church will seat. It was a surprise that F&M chose this church for the christening (the burial service for the late queen Ingrid was held here). You can see the church here - and Christiansborg just behind - http://www.ses.dk/388c55f0)Princejohnny25 said:Well the Danish Royals are pretty grand so they might have a big christining. How have they been in the past? Also, how much does the place where there having the christening seat?
