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.
Denmark’s Crown Princess Mary may be pregnant, reports Danish magazine Billed Bladet.
The 37-year-old royal has been spotted visiting her obstetrician with her husband, Crown Prince Frederik.
Billed Bladet continues, saying Mary and Frederik have made a number of visits to Dr. Morten Hedegaard, arriving at his offices at the Riget hospital via a secret underground tunnel.
The couple have two children – Christian, three years old, and Isabella, one year.

Hooray! It’s here! The latest addition to my royal library is entitled “King, Kaiser, Tsar: Three Royal Cousins Who Led the World to War”. I can’t wait to dive right into this and then bring you a review. It looks like it’s going to be fascinating.
The subjects of the book:
King George V: The son of King Edward VII, who was the brother of the Prussian Empress Friedrich. George’s mother, Queen Alexandra, was born a Danish princess and was the sister of the Empress of Russia.
Kaiser Wilhelm II: Son of Empress Friedrich of Prussia (Princess Victoria of Great Britain), and grandson of Queen Victoria.
Tsar Nicholas II: Son of Tsar Alexander and Tsarina Maria Feodorovna, formerly Princess Dagmar of Denmark and sister of Britain’s Queen Alexandra.

…Or, All Is Quiet On The Windsor Front
Let’s face it – nothing truly exciting is happening in the world of the Windsors.
People want an engagement between William and Kate and the subsequent wedding extravaganza that comes with it – yet nothing happens. The trickle of gossip that was left about Diana has completely dried up, and Philip hasn’t made any ‘charged’ comments of late. Maybe the Queen could do something fabulously outrageous, like throw a cameraman out the window because her tiara’s too tight. Something… anything!
Instead, we have Sarah Ferguson’s address (almost) made public, and the knowledge that one of the Queen’s footmen is a secret part-time wrestler. Get the smelling salts!
Meanwhile, Denmark’s Prince Frederik and Princess Mary are evacuated from Bangkok, Thailand after violent protests against the government began to shut down the country. The crown prince and princess had been on a four-day tour of the city to celebrate the 150th anniversary of establishing diplomatic relations between Denmark and Thailand. Now, they depart amid a flurry of protests and explosions. James Bond was about to drop in any moment because of all the excitement.
So maybe it’s just a slow news period for Britain’s royals. Maybe someone should stir things up by changing their name to “Banana Fajita” Windsor…
