Joachim & Marie Display Son Ahead of Baptism

Denmark’s Prince Joachim and Princess Marie joined the regent couple and Joachim’s two sons on board the royal ship, Danneborg, for a family gathering as Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik did their annual tour of the Kingdom.

Also with them was their two and half month old son, who’s name would finally be revealed this Sunday during his baptism.

It is tradition for the Danish royal family to keep the baby’s name a secret until the ceremony.

Once the moniker is mentioned, it would satisfy many royal watchers who have been biting their nails over the name of the little prince.

Some guess the name would be Albert, since it is of French origin, which Princess Marie and Prince Henrik are. Others say the boy would be called Waldemar, Benjamin, or even Joachim and Henrik – the baby’s father and grandfather!

Either way, Sunday’s baptism would be an exciting event for Denmark and the royal fans everywhere. It would take place starting at 17:30 local time at Mogeltonder, the church where Joachim and Marie married in May 2008. A golden baptismal font, that has been used by the Danish royals since 1671, will be brought to the church.

Also what will be revealed at the baptism are the baby’s godparents. Who they are is also not known yet.
