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.

Congratulations to Prince Joachim and Princess Marie of Denmark. The Princess gave birth earlier today to a six pound, 11 ounce boy.
The royal grandparents, Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik, visited Marie in the hospital and both mother and son are said to be well.
This child is the third son for Joachim. His previous marriage to the former Princess Alexandra of Denmark produced sons Prince Nikolai, 9, and Prince Felix, 7.
