Last Minute Updates and Information About the Danish Royal Twins Christening

New information about Thursday’s christening of the Danish royal twins has just released.  They are:

1. Those living in Norway can watch the christening live via NRK1.  Or, you can watch it online HERE. However, those living outside of Norway cannot view the channel.
2. TV2.dk will also air the ceremony online and live HERE or HERE. However, TV2.dk is a paid site for those living in Denmark.  International viewers, at this time, cannot watch the service online.
3. Those living in Denmark can watch the christening live via Dr.dk HERE or HERE. As I mentioned yesterday there is a good chance (crosses fingers) that international viewers can watch ceremony live on via the links mentioned above.    If not, I hope someone will upload it to You Tube.    :)
4. Time zones for those living outside of Denmark the ceremony will begin at      6:30am (PST); 8:30am (CST): 9:30am (EST): 11:30pm (Sydney, AU); 2:30pm (London, UK)
5. Again, none of the major members (hence Kings, Queens, and heirs) from the royal houses of Sweden, Norway, or the Netherlands will attend.  They are already booked with official events.  However, members from the Greek royal family as well as the Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg’s including the American pushy non-Princess, Carina Axelsson, will attend the christening.
6. After the christening, guests will be treated to a lovely canal cruise to Amalienborg palace where the reception will be held. After the reception, at 8pm, there will be a private dinner and only a select few (60 guests to be exact.)
