Royal Countdown to Christmas: December 7th 2014

We're a whole week into December now and Christmas is just around the corner. To mark December 7th on Royal Christmas Countdown we turn to the first family of Denmark. Today's photo features Prince Joachim, Princess Marie and Prince Henrik at the lighting of a Christmas tree - the royals also got the chance to meet Father Christmas. The image is from 2011.
