Royal Roundup



A new baby for Denmark's Royal Family!


Princess Marie has given birth to a baby girl in Copenhagen.

Princess Marie gave birth to a healthy baby girl on January 24th.

Prince Joachim was present and spoke to the waiting press an hour after the birth. Here is some of what he had to say:

That no one thought was possible, but it happened: It was a girl. She resembles her mother… she has dark hair. She is healthy and well shaped. When she was born it was a poignant moment. I shed a tear this time too.



Keeping with Danish tradition, the baby's name will not be revealed until the day of her christening.

Her Majesty Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik visit the princesses:







Prince Nikolai, Prince Felix, and little Prince Henrik visit their mum and baby sister.





Prince Frederik and Princess Mary visit the princesses:











Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark Attend Jazz Concert in Brussels with Prince Philippe and Princess Mathilde

"Did you just try to make out with my wife?"


"No, darling, I do that with everyone!"


"See?"


"Well then, let's join in, shall we?"

MFTE omg he's sexy I came in to say exactly this
dothefrug 27th-Jan-2012 05:51 am (UTC)
Yep, pretty much.
fuchsiagroan 27th-Jan-2012 03:32 am (UTC)
Prince Joachim stole Jamie Bamber's profile.
lalikitita 27th-Jan-2012 03:41 am (UTC)
Wow! Cannot unsee now.
last_archangel 27th-Jan-2012 03:33 am (UTC)
My mom is obsessed with the Danish royal family. I can't blame her.
greyfilm 27th-Jan-2012 04:12 am (UTC)
Is she Danish?
last_archangel 27th-Jan-2012 04:14 am (UTC)
No. She grew fascinated with the Danish royals when she was stationed in Afghanistan with international troops, some of whom were from Denmark.
la_geni 27th-Jan-2012 03:34 am (UTC)
I think that the world should just get rid of all royal families tbh. They just drain resources and don't do much of anything.
superdogbiter 27th-Jan-2012 03:45 am (UTC)
just like ontd members
Including myself
la_geni 27th-Jan-2012 03:53 am (UTC)
I doubt ontd members will spend 40 million dollars of the people's money in a lifetime, for a wedding.
habibty 27th-Jan-2012 04:14 am (UTC)
the danish royal family brings millions of dollars every year in tourism money to the country, they should stay forever and continue to be flawfree
whatyawaiting4 27th-Jan-2012 04:20 am (UTC)
Really only refers to the British Royals but still very insightful:

piratesswoop 27th-Jan-2012 10:25 am (UTC)
actually most do charity work and official engagements almost every single day
the british royals are a poor representation of monarchy because of all their scandals and wild teens but the continental royals are well-liked and do plenty of official work and aren't perpetually falling out of limos drunk
ahlisten 27th-Jan-2012 03:35 am (UTC)
whoa, Marie looks a lot like Mary in the first picture. I've always seen more than a passing resemblance between them, but DAMN.
showmesara 27th-Jan-2012 12:46 pm (UTC)
Well. It was a common joke when Joachim and Marie first got together that he found Mary's clone. They even have the same name.
lalikitita 27th-Jan-2012 03:35 am (UTC)
UNF Prince Frederik. I'd hit it so hard...
beatlesluv 27th-Jan-2012 04:10 am (UTC)
like the fist of an angry God tbh UNF
manishapvt 27th-Jan-2012 06:54 am (UTC)
yessssssssss
lm7185 27th-Jan-2012 03:37 am (UTC)
ugh wish i was a princess
habibty 27th-Jan-2012 04:15 am (UTC)
ia kim
nicholasdee 27th-Jan-2012 03:37 am (UTC)
god, i still confuse marie and mary. for a second I was like, "since when was mary pregnant again"
distant_lines 27th-Jan-2012 03:40 am (UTC)
God, what do I have to do to be a freaking royal? I want to spend my days just showing up for random appearances. Okay, I'd hate people asking me a ton of questions, but I wouldn't sound obnoxious when I don't give information, because I'd be royal and above that!
jello404 27th-Jan-2012 03:45 am (UTC)
I'd legit not give a fuck and be know as the 'rebel princess' lol i hate formality and 'royal protocal' to my very core. It's just so restictive... The press would def be a problem. I don't know how the royals do it but they get the up most props. Would you be able to deal with all the constant press and critisim of your every move?
distant_lines 27th-Jan-2012 03:52 am (UTC)
I am a ridiculously private person, so I would get annoyed with people asking me a lot of questions, but I don't really care what people think about me. People talking about me doesn't require me to say anything. They'll talk about me whether I say things or not, so I'd just go with that. I'd probably be the most out of control royal ever, cause I'd just flip people off and drop the f-bomb.
fakevoices 27th-Jan-2012 04:04 am (UTC)
get in their circle of friends and then work your way up.
greyfilm 27th-Jan-2012 04:05 am (UTC)
I think I would hate it. But I have random social anxiety that comes and goes (not to mention general anxiety), so for me it would be torture. I'd be like poor Princess Masako and just go into hiding. :(

Then again, I think being a ~lesser~ royal might be worth a try. ;) Like Charlotte Casiraghi. Although she just recently filed a lawsuit against the paparazzi, so nm...
fearless_ivy 27th-Jan-2012 03:41 am (UTC)
mary and kate look alike or it is just me?
goofusgallant 27th-Jan-2012 03:42 am (UTC)
They really look alike.
lm7185 27th-Jan-2012 03:47 am (UTC)
mte
distant_lines 27th-Jan-2012 03:52 am (UTC)
I was thinking that too.
greyfilm 27th-Jan-2012 03:54 am (UTC)
They have been compared before, but I think Mary and Marie look more alike.
baptismtonight 27th-Jan-2012 03:58 am (UTC)
they do! Mary's prettier to me, idk why? She's also awesome(r) so that helps haha
fakevoices 27th-Jan-2012 04:03 am (UTC)
nope. they sorta look alike. but mary looks better and younger :P
katesamaloo 27th-Jan-2012 03:41 am (UTC)
aw Prince Joachim is glowing! that's sweet.
jello404 27th-Jan-2012 03:42 am (UTC)
Ugh I need to marry a royal. I don't give a fuck who it's is,MAKE ME QUEEN! Lol and Lmfao @ the Prince of Monaco. He Always has this look like..he wish he could just push his wife down some stairs so he could get rid of her.
fakevoices 27th-Jan-2012 04:01 am (UTC)
you are royalty in my eyes
katie_oo7 27th-Jan-2012 05:56 am (UTC)
My sister is friends with some prince from Senegal. She refuses to even attempt to become a princess. It's like she doesn't care that my dream is to be Pippa.

I want to have lots and lots and lots of sex with Carl Phillipe.
jello404 27th-Jan-2012 07:21 am (UTC)
Omg how fuckig selfish can your sister be? She needs to become a princess for you and me..because you can tell ONTD tones of interesting stories. Ugh and I want to have tones if Carl's curly haired swirl babies.
tribalmink 27th-Jan-2012 03:47 am (UTC)
Frederik and Mary are such a good looking couple.
arlen_mci 27th-Jan-2012 03:48 am (UTC)
Ok so I don't know too much about Danish royalty, but after lurking in a couple of these royalty posts, I'm convinced that Kate Middleton is going to look a lot like Princess Mary when she gets older. She gorgeous! They have very similar facial structures
greyfilm 27th-Jan-2012 03:56 am (UTC)
I don't think she will age as well as Mary. But they are only 9 years apart.
fakevoices 27th-Jan-2012 04:01 am (UTC)
I don't think so.

Mary is almost 40 and she looks younger than Kate
arlen_mci 27th-Jan-2012 04:02 am (UTC)
Yeah I didnt realize their respective ages. Kate isn't gonna age that well for sure.

i rescind my original comment! I guess I just think they kind of look similar lol
greenscarrf 27th-Jan-2012 03:55 am (UTC)
OT But someone should seriously do a post over THIS:

habibty 27th-Jan-2012 04:19 am (UTC)
