New Danish prince named Henrik

Prince Joachim of Denmark and his wife, Princess Marie, have christened their new son Henrik.

Joachim’s father is also named Prince Henrik. The former Henri de Laborde de Monpezat, a French-born count, married Queen Margrethe II of Denmark in 1967. Princess Marie also hails from France.

The baby’s full name, Henrik Carl Joachim Alain, is in honor of the men of his family: Prince Henrik; Carl (Marie’s brother Charles); Prince Joachim; and Alain, Marie’s father.

Many congratulations to the Danish royals and many best wishes for one of the cutest royal babies in Europe!
