New photos of Vincent and Josephine

Denmark's royals love to give us a present on their birthday with new photos on the big day and on this really big day, the 5th birthday of twins Vincent and Josephine, we got a triple set of gifts with three new photos of the youngest members of Mary and Frederik's family.

It's a fairly good guess that the main photo of the twins was taken on their recent holiday in Australian being as they are in summer clothes, summer hats, look slightly hot and are holding a koala bear. But the individual portraits look much cooler. And the first thing to notice is that Prince Vincent of Denmark is actually his father in total miniature.

Meanwhile, Princess Josephine is looking very thoughtful in her solo portrait - she is usually the exuberant one of the pair and was recently spotted holding her Minion toy during a public appearance until her mum also spotted it and tucked it in her pocket. Given Josephine's pensive pose, this may have been taken not long afterwards.

But all three photos, released on January 8th 2016, show a little prince and princess filled with confidence. The royal twins of Denmark are suddenly growing up fast.
