The Danish court celebrates this with a new portrait of the two!
Today is a celebration in Denmark, because it is Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine’s birthday! The royal twins turned 13 years old. In honor of this anniversary, the Danish court treats us to an incredibly sweet new snapshot of the two.
New portrait
Vincent and Josephine are the youngest children of Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark. They were born on January 8, 2011. And that birth was extremely special, because royal twins are extremely rare!
The two have not always been the most visible Danish royals, but as they get older, we see them appearing in public more and more often. The Danish royal family published a new photo of the twins today. What strikes? The two are looking more like their parents every day! Certainly Josephine is really an adorable mini version of her mother.

Brother and sister
Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine will then be a year older, but they don’t really have to worry about royal duties yet. The chance that either of them will ascend the throne later is very small. That task will first fall to their brother Christian, and then it will be their sister Isabella’s turn!
Danish throne
Major changes are planned for their big brother Prince Christian, now that Queen Margrethe is abdicating the throne next weekend after 52 years. From that moment on, the 18-year-old prince will officially be the heir to the throne. Vincent and Josephine also move up one place in the line of succession to the throne, but they still have to tolerate Christian and Isabella.
Vincent was born 26 minutes before Josephine, and will therefore be third in line after succession to the throne. So Josephine is at number four. But before that happens, we hope that the twins can enjoy their birthday without any worries. Happy birthday from Glamial!
