The official announcement for Prince Christian said "by the end of October", he was born on October 15.
The official announcement for Isabella said she was due about the first week of May. She arrived within 10 days of that (2 weeks either side of the due date is considered to be right on time in obstetrics).
In fact, Frederik and Mary have not manipulated the information about their older children's due dates by months, as many other royal couples have done.
The announcement about the twins said "some time in January."
For some reason people immediately reinterpret this to mean another time.
My guess is that the twins are due at the end of January, and will arrive some time in January.
I also think the fact that twins are usually early was factored into the official announcement.
I anticipate that Crown Princess Mary will attend the events of the New Year's Court if all is well.
Women who start maternity leave are not under house arrest, after all.
I second that, great post!
