Copenhagen - Princess Marie and Prince Joachim, the younger son of Danish Queen Margrethe II, left hospital Thursday with their newborn son.

The parents said they were happy and proud as they left Copenhagen University Hospital and headed for Amalienborg Palace.

Princess Marie, 33, carried the sleeping child in her arms, flanked by her husband and her father, Alain Cavallier.

Copenhagen - Denmark's Prince Joachim entered into marriage for the second time Saturday, tying the knot with French-born Marie Cavallier at a small-town ceremony in the country's south.

Younger scions of Scandinavian royalty, including Sweden's 30- year-old Crown Princess Victoria and Norway's 34-year-old Crown Prince Haakon, were present for the nationally-televised ceremony.

But in contrast to Joachim's lavish first wedding in Copenhagen to Hong Kong-born Alexandra Manley, Saturday's affair was low-key, with guests limited to 300.
