Denmark’s Prince Frederik and Princess Mary’s newborn daughter made her first public appearance on Monday (23.04.07).
The country’s newest royal, who was born two weeks early on Saturday (21.04.07), was carried in her mother’s arms to greet a crowd of 2,000 well-wishers outside Copenhagen University Hospital. Prince Frederik carried the infant’s older brother, Christian, who was born at the same hospital in October 2005. His baby sister was wrapped in the same shawl he was when he was taken home for the first time. Princess Mary looked the picture of health and elegant as ever as she beamed proudly. Mary is quoted on the Hello! website as saying: ‘I think it went really well. It was a little easier this time, although you shouldn’t use a word like easy for a delivery.’ The 35-year-old added that Christian was ‘enthusiastic to see his new sister and showed a bit of brotherly love’.
The name of the newborn princess - who is third in line to the Danish thrown - is not expected to be revealed until her christening ceremony, in keeping with the region’s tradition.
Last month, 18-month-old Christian became the first Danish royal to attend a public nursery. Australian-born Mary and her royal husband are keen to give their children as ‘normal’ an upbringing as possible, and choose to be hands-on parents rather than hiring full-time nannies.
