Danish Crown Prince Frederik and Princess Mary's son has been christened Christian Valdemar Henri John.
The name of the new Danish prince was revealed at the ceremony at the neoclassical Christiansborg Palace Chapel in Copenhagen shortly after 11.30am (9.30pm AEDT) Saturday, but it wasn't a surprise.
In keeping with a Danish tradition dating back to the 16th century in which Danish kings are alternately named Frederik and Christian, the prince was named Christian.
Australian-born Mary was dressed in a blue and white printed dress and light blue jacket with a band of flowers in her hair, which was tied back in a bun.
She cradled the prince, dubbed "Kingaroo" by local media, in her arms throughout the Lutheran baptism ceremony.
The little prince was baptised in the same dress as that worn by Frederik for his christening in 1968 - a 135-year-old dress made of Belgian lace that was first used for King Christian X.
However, Frederik was just four weeks old when christened and the new prince is now a bit over three months, so the dress was altered to accommodate his five kg frame.
Prince Christian of Denmark (Christian Valdemar Henri John), born 15 October 2005, is the son of Crown Prince Frederik and his wife, the Australian-born Crown Princess Mary. He is a grandson of HM Queen Margrethe II of Denmark.
As their firstborn child, Prince Christian is second-in-line to the Danish throne, and will become the heir apparent when his father ascends the throne as king, or dies before Queen Margarethe. Since the 16th century, firstborn sons of Danish monarchs have traditionally been named Frederik or Christian alternately (with a break for Margrethe II, who comes after one Frederik, her father, and presumably before another, her son). If Prince Christian becomes king as expected, after his father, he will be known as King Christian XI of Denmark.

The future King of Denmark,Prince Christian of Denmark (Christian Valdemar Henri John); the son of Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary - has been dubbed by the media "kingaroo".
Such name evolved when Australia was preparing for his christening when the small prince was "officially unnamed". The Aussies dubbed the little boy 'Kingaroo', a name which even his Mom has apparently taken to calling him! From thenon, the small prince is usually dubbed by media by such name.
Obviously, "Kingaroo" is a compound word derived from king and kangaroo; the boy as the future king and kangaroo representing Australia, as his mother is from Tasmania, Australia who originated from Scotland.
Prince Christian of Denmark was born on 15 October 2005 at the Copenhagen University Hospital.His full name is Christian Valdemar Henri John. Should he ascend to the Danish throne, Christian XI will be his regal name and number. Valdemar is a name associated with the Danish royal family for centuries. Henri and John are the names of his two grandfathers.☺
