godmothers and godfathers

[PeDe]

I wanted to see if somebody else is interested in this subject.

Since so many of the RF are intertwined and everybody is somebody's godmother/-father, let's see "who is who".

VICTORIA OF SWEDEN
Victoria has twelve godchildren, and three are heirs to monarchies:

Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway, daughter to Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway.
Prince Christian of Denmark, son of Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark.
Princess Catharina-Amalia of the Netherlands, daughter to Willem-Alexander, Prince of Orange and Princess Maxima of the Netherlands.
Princess Eléonore of Belgium, daughter of Prince Philippe, Duke of Brabant and Princess Mathilde of Belgium.
Prince Constantine-Alexios of Greece and Denmark, son of Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece (Prince of Denmark) and Crown Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece (Princess of Denmark)
Leopold Sommerlath, son to Victoria's cousin Patrick Sommerlath and Camilla Lundén.
Diana Engsäll, daughter to Victoria's friends Andrea Brodin Engsäll and Niclas Engsäll.
Ian Persson, son to Karl-Johan and Leonie Persson.
Baroness Madeleine von Dincklage, daughter to Victorias's cousin Baroness Sybilla Ambler von Dincklage and Baron Cornelius von Dincklage.
Vivien Sommerlath, daughter to Victoria's uncle Jörg Sommerlath and Simone Junge.
Giulia Sommerlath, daughter to her cousin Thomas Sommerlath and Susanne Sommerlath.

MARY OF DENMARK

Prince Henrik of Denmark, son of Prince Joachim and Princess Marie of Denmark

MARY OF DENMARK

Prince Henrik of Denmark, son of Prince Joachim and Princess Marie of Denmark

she is also her friend Helle's son godmother I think

[Royaltyfan]

MARY OF DENMARK

Prince Henrik of Denmark, son of Prince Joachim and Princess Marie of Denmark

Josephine Flemming, daughter of Caroline and Rory Fleming

Holger Redtz-Thott, son of Helle and Otto Redtz-Thott

Isn't it likely that she is godmother of one of her sisters children as well?

[Darcy]

MARY OF DENMARK

Prince Henrik of Denmark, son of Prince Joachim and Princess Marie of Denmark

Josephine Flemming, daughter of Caroline and Rory Fleming

Holger Redtz-Thott, son of Helle and Otto Redtz-Thott

Isn't it likely that she is godmother of one of her sisters children as well?

Did her sisters' children get christened? In fact, was Mary christened as a baby? For some reason I seem to think she wasn't, but actually I have no idea.

Magali Siesbye, daughter of Oscar and Britt Davidsen Siesbye
Agathe Anna Steenstrup, daughter of Peter et Henriette Steenstrup

And also little Josephine.

So Mary and Marie are both godparents to 4 children each? Interesting that Marie married quite a few years later and has wracked up the same number of godmother positions as the future Queen.
