Crown Prince Frederik, who cried at his wedding to Australian-born Mary in May 2004, was present throughout the ten-hour labour, and cut the umbilical cord himself.
"It's an indescribable sensation for my wife and me," the tired but excited prince said in a press conference later the same morning. "It's fantastic to see your child being born."
The newborn is second in line to the Danish throne. An official royal communiqué said the 33-year-old mother and her baby are both doing fine.
