THE AUSTRALIAN: NEARLY 300 guests crammed into the Holmens Church in Copenhagen this morning for the christening of the latest additions to the Danish royal family: twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josefina.

The youngest children of Crown Prince Frederik and Australian-born Crown Princess Mary were baptised Vincent Frederik Minik Alexander and Josefina Sofia Ivalo Mathilda.

Following three months of speculation, the babies' names, a closely-kept secret since their birth on January 8, immediately became the top news story in Denmark. » | AFP | Friday, April 15, 2011
