Everyone has been abuzz since we got here waiting for their beloved Princess Mary to give birth to the new crown prince/princess. We have been alerted that the baby was born and it is indeed a prince. Here's a news story on it:
It's a prince! The heir to the Danish throne has been born. Both the little
prince and his mother are doing well. Did she or didn't she? After rumours
circulated all night long as to whether she was in the hospital, why, or if she
had gone into labour, the Royal Family announced this morning that Crown
Princess Mary gave birth to Denmark's next crown prince early this
morning. According to the court, the prince was born at 1:57 a.m. at
Copenhagen University Hospital, weighing 3500g, and measuring 51cm. Both the
prince and his mother, Crown Princess Mary, are doing well. Crown Prince
Frederik was present during the birth. (www.denmark.dk)
So the Prince will be named Christian, as they switch back in forth between Christian and Frederick for each crown prince. This is of special interest to our neighbors who have a baby nearly four weeks old that they haven't managed to name yet. If they don't name him by 6 months, he automatically gets the prince's name! I thought that was a bit funny!
