Mogeltonder, Denmark - The youngest member of Denmark's royal family was officially named Henrik in a christening ceremony in the southern Danish town of Mogeltonder Sunday.
The prince was born May 4 but did not receive his name until the ceremony, which he soldiered through with the occasional scream.
Henrik Carl Joachim Alain is the first child of Prince Joachim, 40, and his wife Princess Marie, 33. This is Joachim's second marriage. The family resides at Schackenborg castle in Mogeltonder.
Henrik is the fifth grandchild of Queen Margrethe II, 69, and the seventh in line for the throne, behind his two half brothers from his father's first marriage. He shares a name with Margrethe's husband, Henrik, who is 75.
