I could imagine that the traditional Danish court might make differences between the future crown-prince and his brothers and sisters. Since it´s "only" the second child being born after the future crown-prince they might keep this birth more low profile. F.i. they broadcasted Christian´s baptism even on German TV but I´ m quite sure they won´t do it with the little girls´ baptism...
Specially Queen Margrethe is in my eyes very traditional thinking.
The christening will certainly be more low profile than Christian's.
Fredensborg Slotskirke isn't very big.
I guess there will be less guests, less godparents and less cameras.
Yes, I think there is and there should be a difference between the first and the second.
Christian is the (first) heir to the (first) heir - therefore everything was more public and bigger.
With the second child - no matter if girl or boy - everything will obviously be more private and one size smaller.
Just as Joachim's wedding was smaller than Frederik's for example.
Things also weren't handled in exactly the same way with Ingrid Alexandra and Sverre Magnus of Norway.

I find it absurd the suggestions that Mary is trying to wait to get thinner or to look more glamorous before posing. If I recall correctly this time round Fred and Mary stayed for the press questions in hospital longer than they did with Christian. And if anyone was following the live coverage, they came in front of the crowds barely five minutes later after reaching home. And they stayed there for other 5 minutes or so. If Mary was so worried about her figure she would have worn darker colours and avoided such long public appearances.
I totally agree, it's really absurd.
According to DR this time the interview in the hospital lasted twice as long as
the one when Christian was presented, 12 minutes exactly.
Then they posed again in Fredensborg, this time with both their children.
The photographers had quite some time to take heaps of pictures.
So perhaps they thought there is no need for an immediate official photosession afterwards.
I guess they just decided to do it differently this time.
Just as the christening will be different (smaller and sooner) as well.

I am really surprised of which they have not published some photos already because the princes of denmark, specially Mary, are very fond of the photo sessions.
Yes, makes one almost think that the princes of denmark, specially Mary, aren't very fond of photo sessions after all.

Maxima also got fat much in this pregnancy and she is beautiful in the official photos.
The official photo with Maxima was taken (or at least published) 10 days after the birth.
Another case of vanity?

I cannot believe the many crazy, funny things I'm reading on this thread
I feel the same way but out of different reasons.
No official photos so far - and people are already speculating about Mary's vanity and a damage of the newborn's head.
we would have very good photos for sure
