It’s 2012, and there are royal babies on the way!
HRH Princess Marie, wife of Denmark’s Prince Joachim, is expecting her second child later this January. The baby will be Queen Margrethe’s eighth grandchild.
In Sweden, Crown Princess Victoria (left) and her husband, Prince Daniel, are expecting their first child this March. Their baby will be the first grandchild for King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia.
In England, Autumn Phillips, wife of the Queen’s eldest grandson, Peter, is expecting her second child in late spring/early summer. Autumn and Peter’s first child, Savannah, was born in December 2010. Little Savannah is the first great-grandchild of the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh.
Of course, the world is awaiting the announcement of a pregnancy from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Some expect it to be any day, some think an announcement may come later. No matter when it happens, we will be very happy for Prince William and his bride, Catherine.
The Duke and Duchess married in their late twenties and Catherine – who turns 30 this month – has taken time to fit into royal life. This is quite the opposite situation of William’s mother, the late Princess of Wales. Diana had just turned 20 years old at the time of her wedding to Prince Charles, and she gave birth to William the following year.
I wish Wills and Kate the best, and no matter when they choose to have a child, it will be a very lucky baby, indeed.

I love the buttons on HRH Princess Marie’s jacket (seen here during her visit to Florence, Italy) so I was inspired to find a similar look.
Then I saw Marie in a double-breasted grey jacket matched with a black turtleneck and black pants. I really loved this look, but I really liked the buttons on the jacket above, so I went with this gem, an Apt. 9® Peplum Wool Jacket with large dome-shaped buttons:
Grey jacket, awesome buttons, black turtleneck: check, check, and check! Now for the pants.
In the photo above, Marie is wearing black boots. I wear it with black boots, as well. I also have a grey pair if I feel so inclined (from Payless).

One of my favorite royals, Princess Marie of Denmark, has announced her second pregnancy.
According to Hello! magazine, the child is a girl, expected to be born this coming January.
Congratulations to Joachim and Marie, and to Nikolai, Felix, and Henrik, who will soon have a little sister. This new addition the family will mirror Marie’s own childhood – she grew up in a family of all boys, two from her father’s second marriage, and two from her mother’s first marriage.
Welcome to our new fashion section, Haute Royale, here at The Royal Representative.
I say “our” because it is going to involve all of you fashionable royal watchers. If you love a particular royal’s outfit (men included), show us how you found your own version of their look!
I constructed an outfit based on Princess Marie of Denmark. When she and her husband, Prince Joachim, visited Hong Kong last November, I instantly fell in love with her delicate gray ensemble. Image of Marie from the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC)
While it isn’t exact, it reminded me of Marie’s simple elegance. I love the gray and pink, and with a quick trip to Kohl’s and JCPenney, I had a royal-ready outfit.
