"What!? Evil Auntie Mary's here!? And she brought my gargoyle cousins!? Oh nooooos!"
20 May 2012 (Uncle Pavlos' 45th birthday - is Athena's name a pressie?)
What a bag of treats! Mary 'Kate Middleton' Donaldson in a dated peplum and bitch face dragging a nanny and no twins to the church (as she did with Nanny Natasha to Henrik's christening); a spunky lille baby prinsesse; an ADORBS lille prins Henrik (in silk tie, contrast to Yrma's scuzzy offspring); Izzy in fake hair and an old dress; distant-eyed, spastic, mouth-breather Xian; American bogan Carina on crutches as godmother; Marie dazzling in a beautiful dress, gorgeous brooch and huge smile; practically no royal cousins in attendance; and the baby named after the goddess of wisdom and war to prevent mean Auntie Mary from exerting any anti-feminine influence over this precious, new soul with a very pretty and girly string of names. Marie and Joachim have seen what is happening with Izzy and they absolutely do not approve.
A word on the apparent division between Joachim's children by Alex and those by Marie. Lord, y'all. It was awkward stage-managing at worst. The church's altar is TINY, even Marie's parents sat way down yonder in full 75-degree neck-cranking view of the proceedings, there was barely enough room for the two rows of three chairs on each side of the font - and Marie and Joachim are going to trust Daisy with the care of their 3 year old? Nah. Daisy and Henrik need good kiddie-PR and it's a nice division of older and younger sibs that they took their older Schackenborg grandsons with them in the car to and fro. How lovely that at the end of the service the boys ignored the flunkie (who was probably only going on Daisy's orders in the first place) to skip out of the pew and follow their father down the aisle (as Marie seemed to whisper to them to do), Nikolai kindly taking lille Henrik's hand and Felix saddling right up to Marie who put an arm around his shoulder. That the boys were then stopped in the vestibule and told to wait for their grandparents as their father left with the little ones is too bad, but that whole leaving the church bit was just awkwardly executed. How can anyone have any doubts that the intentions are good? Look at the great photo at the bottom of this post with ALL THREE of little Athena's older brothers gathered round her. Lucky girl!
Lille Athena's Swiss cotton, Empire-cut christening gown was worn by her older brother Henrik and designed for his baptism in 2009 by Henrik Hviid, dress designer to both Daisy and Countess Alexandra, including for her wedding to Martin Jørgensen.

At the end of the baptism, Marie also performed a deep and graceful curtsey in front of the Queen, while holding baby Athena and wearing quite high heels.
ReplyDeleteMosh should take notes : this is how you do it with class !
It was a gorgeous, effortless curtsey! Mary never dips low, just does a quick, little bouncy thing, then back up and off like a bull in a china shop.
ReplyDeleteJokke sure makes beautiful babies..
ReplyDeleteHr. Danny Gudnitz and Fr. Rikke Gudnitz from guestlist: Rikke Gudnitz is the designer of the dress Marie is wearing. Also Rikke did the yellow afternoondress Marie wore in Monaco - Danish Design:)
ReplyDeleteThank you. Much obliged, Anony! Added it to the list. There are a few more familiar names, but I'm too tired to look them up. Good on Marie for wearing Danish names for her big public engagements!
ReplyDeleteI just had to laugh even harder when I learned that Mary's dress was designed by Dannii Minogue. Was she wearing Kim Kardashian perfume and Jessica Simpson shoes too? Such a bogan.
