Prince Vincent & Princess Josephine Of Denmark Christened (PHOTOS)

The Huffington Post     First Posted: 04/14/11 02:41 PM ET   Updated: 06/14/11 06:12 AM ET

Crown Princess Mary and Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark stepped out with all four of their children on Thursday for the christening of their twins in Copenhagen at Holmens Kirke.

The couple finally announced the names of the new prince and princess -- Vincent Frederik Minik Alexander and Josephine Sofia Ivalo Mathilda, Vincent and Josephine for short. The AFP explains, "The children were each given one Greenlandic name, Minik and Ivalo, in honour of Denmark's autonomous territory, according to Danish media."

Frederik previously joked that the little man would be called Elvis, since they were born on The King of rock and roll's birthday, back in January. Kind of glad they didn't go with that.

The babies were joined by the couple's other kids, six-year-old Prince Christian and four-year-old Princess Isabella. Also on-hand for the festivities were Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik and Princess Mary's sister Patricia. Mary opted for a royal blue sheath paired with cream-colored headpiece and matching pumps for the occasion.

Take a look at photos from the day.

I really do think it's a toss up between her and Kate Middleton for the award for having the least personality possible. She is so dull. And she spoke all ordinary before she married and now she talks all posh and fancy.

sort of like how when people move to another country they start to modify their speech. how many brits I know that came to australia and i thought they spoke with a british regional accent who then go home to britain and the family all comment about how they have an aussie accent now.

From my experience, speech modification usually comes about
unintentionally. We hear certain tones, phrase, accents on a daily
basis and without even realizing it, we've  picked up the same or
very similar speech patterns.
Then when we come home for a visit, we're surprised to hear others  tells
us that we sound different and we don't have a cold.
Ha!

She is very popular with the Danes.
Regarding her speech, quite possibly  her accent changed while learning to speak
Danish. She doesn't seem to be putting on any unfounded "airs."
After all, she is a  Princess and, IMO. there is nothing "dull" about being a mother of four.

"She is so dull."
How do you suggest she change her life since according to you she is "dull?"
