A group picture is here with a better picture of the little princess:

What cuties! How strange for the Little Miss not to have a name yet. I mean, nine weeks is a long time!:)

They probably know what her name is going to be. They just keep it a secret until the christening. It’s a tradition in Denmark for the Royals.
But the naming procedure is slightly different here. We don’t name our babies as fast as Americans do. The rule is that a baby should have a name when it’s 6 months old. Most of course name their babies long before 6 months, but it’s normal to wait a few weeks after the birth to decide what name suits the baby.

They are so adorable can’t wait to hear the name

yes she got her name, but in the danish royal family you reveal name in your christening

Hmm. It def. makes sense that the fam. knows the name but aren’t spilling yet. And the six months thing is interesting, too.
I come from a Latino family, and trust me, I could hear the wails and tsk-tsking of my family members now if I didn’t announce my future baby’s name immediately after it was born!They’d think I was crazy
