Denmark's Princess Marie gave birth
Denmark's Princess Marie gave birth to a son on Monday, a year after she gave up her French citizenship to marry the Scandinavian country's Prince Joachim.
The newborn — weighing 6.7 pounds (3 kilograms) and measuring 20 inches (49 centimeters) at birth — is seventh in line to the Danish throne.
Joachim said his 33-year-old wife and the child were both doing fine. He said he was present during the birth and cut the umbilical cord, but that the couple had not yet settled on a name for the baby. "It is a very moving moment," the 39-year-old prince told reporters at the hospital in Copenhagen. He and Marie married in May 2008. He has two sons — Felix, 7, and Nikolai, 9 — from a previous marriage with Hong Kong-born Alexandra Manley.
