[Denmark] Prince Joachim and Princess Marie expecting a baby due in January 2012 #royalbabyboom

I know, I know, these are not recent news, but I did not find the time to publish them before. Prince Joachim will have a fourth child and it will be baby number 2 for our lovely Princess Marie. Cannot believe little Prince Henrik will be a big brother already! And yes, we are in royal baby boom! Joy joy joy!

Which other babies are on the way? Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden's first baby, Prince Nikolaos and Princess Tatiana of Greece's first baby, Peter and Autumn Phillips (son and daughter in law of Princess Royal) are expecting their second one.

South Korean leader made official visit to Denmark this week

This wednesday, Queen Margrethe, accompanied by her sons Crown Prince Frederik and Prince Joachim, her daughter in law, Princess Marie and sister Princess Benedikte welcomed South Korean President Lee Myung Bak to Denmark, the second stop on a week-long European visit.

Lee arrived from Germany where he has met with, among others, Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Christian Wulff.

The two-day visit in Denmark includes talks on trade, research and cooperation, including on green growth.

On Thursday, the president's final day in Denmark, he is set to meet with Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen.

Denmark is a member of the European Union, and on July 1st a free trade treaty between South Korea and the bloc was due to come into force. The Confederation of Danish Industry said it hoped to the free trade agreement would help triple Danish exports to South Korea, last year estimated to be worth almost 700 million dollars. France was the president's next and last stop.
