New birthday snaps of Crown Princess Mary's youngest children

The Danish Royal Family have released new photos of Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, the youngest children of Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary, to mark their 11th birthday, which they celebrated over the weekend.

The photos were taken by Mary herself, and show the children in jeans and winter coats. In some of the photos, the twins are holding matching puppies. In addition to the photos of the pair together, there are portrait photos of each child on their own.

The photos were posted to the family’s Instagram account, accompanied by the caption, “On the occasion of their birthday, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess have shared new photos of their two youngest children - as well as the family’s two small and lively puppies.”

The children celebrated their birthday privately with their family over the weekend, and their birthday celebrations came just a week before the celebration of their grandmother’s 50th year on the Danish throne.

One fan commented, “A mother of twins is pleased to see that you are making two posts and not a joint one. They each deserve theirs - so do all the others.”

The twins were born in Copenhagen in 2011, and are Frederik and Mary’s youngest children. Their siblings are Prince Christian, 16, and Princess Isabella, 14.

Just days ago, the couple posted to Instagram to announce the cancellation of a gala banquet at Rosenborg Castle on 4 February 2022 to celebrate Mary’s 50th birthday. The statement said that the couple hoped to be able to reschedule the celebrations for later in the year, while on the day, Mary will celebrate privately with family.

The family lives in Copenhagen, at Frederik VIII’s Palace at Amalienborg. Vincent is fourth in line to the throne, while Josephine is fifth, Vincent having been born 26 minutes earlier than his sister.
