Video of Prince Joachim and Marie Cavallier’s Wedding: On to Schackenborg Castle

Files under Royals | Comments Off

The newly-weds Prince Joachim and now Princess Marie head down the aisle. We can hear the cheers in the background as the couple exits the church in a stately manner. It’s all very solemn, with none of the rush to greet the couple usually seen in weddings.

Their car ride to Shackenborg Castle is also shown, with hundreds of well-wishers lining the streets (and security officers jogging alongside the slow-moving car).

Files under Royals | Comments Off

Danish TV aired the wedding of Prince Joachim to Marie Cavallier last weekend. For those of us who didn’t get a chance to see it live, videos are the next best thing!

This is the first part of the broadcast, showing the interior of Mogeltonder Church decked out for the wedding.

White lilies and roses dominated the floral arrangements inside the church. Traditional for weddings in Mogeltonder Church is the heart-shaped arrangement of roses inside of which the bride and groom sit. The floral arrangements were by Jan Munch, Munch & Levison.

Prince William Tops Forbes’ List of Hottest Young Royals

Files under Royals | Comments Off

Prince-William-250px-nc

Four of the 5 hottest young royals, according to Forbes, are from the same family. The young British royals, led Prince William, top the list. Monaco’s Charlotte Casiraghi rounded out the top 5. Among the criteria used to compile the list are international Web and media presence, family wealth, age (under 35) and marital status (unmarried).

Peter Phillips was recently made ineligible for the list, due to his marriage to Autumn Kelly, otherwise, I expect him to have made it. The absence of Princess Eugenie avoided a sweep from the British royals. Another good looking young royal who’s not on it is Prince Amedeo of Belgium.

Here are the 20 hottest young royals of today:

1. Britain’s Prince William

2. Britain’s Prince Harry

3. Britain’s Zara Phillips

4. Britain’s Princess Beatrice

5. Charlotte Casiraghi of Monaco

6. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai

7. Sweden’s Princess Victoria

8. Prince Azim of Brunei

9. Prince Carl Philip of Brunei

10. Andrea Casiraghi

11. Prince Albert vun Thurn und Taxis

12. Princess Madeleine of Sweden

13. Princess Theodora of Greece and Denmark

14. Prince Wenzeslaus of Liechtenstein

15. PRincess Tsuguko of Takamado, Japan

16. Princess Sirivannavari of Thailand

17. Sheikha Maitha bint Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum of Dubai

18. Princess Iman bint Al Hussein of Jordan

19. Prince Philippos of Greece

20. Princess Sikhanyiso of Swaziland

She will also become step-mum 8-year-old Nikolai and 5-year-old Felix, Joachim’s children from his first marriage to Alexandra, Countess of Frederiksborg.
