First pictures of Mary's baby

PROUD new mum Crown Princess Mary has allowed a sneak peek into the newest snaps in the Danish royal family album.
Official photos of newborn "mini Mary" at home with Australian-born mum, dad Crown Prince Frederik and brother Prince Christian were released by the palace last night.
Photographer Steen Brogaard said the young prince couldn't wait to show off his younger sister to the camera.
"I asked where the baby was, and he said straight away 'This is the baby', and showed me. I'm sure he loves her already," Mr Brogaard said.
"She's a very nice little princess, she behaved well. She is beautiful. The whole family is beautiful."
The photographer said he'd been nervous before meeting the newest member of the Danish royal family, born on April 21.
"You have to be nervous on such an occasion. But it was excellent," he said of the rare royal photo shoot.
One snap shows a grinning Prince Christian playing with his younger sister, while another shows the young princess nicknamed "lille pige" – Danish for Little Girl – sleeping soundly with her tongue poking out slightly.
The newborn princess will not formally be named until her christening on July 1, in keeping with Danish tradition.
The photos were taken over the weekend at the royal family's home in Fredensborg, on the outskirts of Copenhagen.DT

First photos reveal a smiling princess

9 May 2007
The royal couple's new daughter smiled for the cameras and showed a striking resemblance to her mother in her first public photos.
The Royal Couple with Prince Christian and the new born Princess.
The resemblance is hard to miss. The newest member of the royal family looks just like her mom.
The first photos of Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary's new baby girl revealed she bears the same Tasmanian features as her Australian-born mother.
The photos, taken by Steen Brogaard, show the new princess with a full head of brown hair and dark eyes. Although she slept through much of the photo session, her smile was finally caught in one snap of Brogaard's camera.
The new princess's name is being withheld by her parents until her baptism on 1 July at Fredensborg Palace Church. The last royal baptism there was in 1999 when the baby's cousin, Prince Nikolai, was christened there.
During her baptism, the new princess is likely to wear the same gown worn by King Christian X during his 1870 christening, which was also worn by her brother during his 2005 christening.
The new princess's baptism will be a closed, private affair for friends and family only.CP

A lot of the media has the photos and Australian television news programs have featured the stills:
