Today, Prince Henrik’s 75th birthday, was marked in public by a parade at Fredensborg Castle in Copenhagen, Denmark. The Danish royal family, including the youngest (and most adorable!) members, gathered on the steps to watch the parade.
The entire family helped make the occasion all the more festive for Prince Henrik. But Prince Christian and Princess Isabella, the children of the Prince Frederik and Princess Mary, practically stole the show. I dare say that the little royals were the cutest sight in the entire parade!

I have pictures to show of all these happy events, so here goes the rest of the first set. These are all from the lunch on the Dannebrog yesterday. Princess Marie looked fabulous on her first public appearance after the birth of her and Prince Joachim’s son last month.
