Denmark's Australian-born Crown Princess Mary gave birth to her second child on Saturday, a healthy baby girl, her husband Crown Prince Frederik said.
Frederik, 39, said the birth at Copenhagen University Hospital took six hours and had been as beautiful and impressive as that of the couple's first child, Prince Christian, in October 2005.
"One wasn't as scared as the first time," he told a news conference.
The baby princess, third in line to the Danish throne after her father and her older brother, had been expected at the beginning of May.
In a statement the royal court said the baby princess weighed 3350 grams at birth and was 50 cm long.
Princess Mary, 35, was Mary Donaldson, a real estate agent from Tasmania, until she married Frederik in May 2004 after a romance that began when they met in a bar in Sydney during the 2000 Olympics.
Frederik's mother Queen Margrethe and the royal family, said to be Europe's oldest royal house, are highly popular in Denmark.
