They are just a few days old, but the newest members of the Danish royal family are already receiving visitors.
Since their arrival on Saturday, Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary's twins have been inundated with friends and family eager to see both the newborns, and of course, their mum.
Among the first to visit was Countess Alexandra, her husband Martin Jorgensen and her children with ex-husband Prince Joachim, Prince Nikolai, 11, and eight-year-old Felix.
The family were seen arriving at Rigshospitalet, with the boys looking particularly excited about the chance to meet their brand new cousins.
Speaking later to the press about their visit, Alexandra said Mary was doing well, joking that Frederik seemed to be more tired than his Australia-born wife.
She added that, like her son Nikolai, she thought the new little princess looks very much like her big sister, Isabella, three, who, along with five-year-old Prince Christian, has already seen her new siblings.
Soon after the birth of the as-of-yet unnamed twins, their dad Frederik returned to Amalienborg Palace to pick his excited eldest children up and take them to the hospital, arriving with them through a different entrance to avoid the press.
Other visitors at the hospital have included Mary's father John Donaldson, her private secretary, lady-in-waiting, and her stylist and friend Anja Camilla Alajdi who has revealed that the Crown Princess is already up and about.
"She is doing well, she is doing really well and looks good," said Anja, saying of the little ones: "They are very dear, very sweet and still very small.
"But I think they are adorable. They have lots of hair on their heads and have great colouring."

Shakira splits with fiancé after 11 years together
Colombian pop star Shakiraand her fiancé have broken up after 11 years together.
The couple – pictured relaxing at their Uruguay farmhouse with their dog - posted a joint message on her website which revealed they actually split last August, but kept it secret until now.
They said they viewed the split as temporary, and that Antonio de la Rua – son of a former Argentinean president – will continue to oversee Shakira's business interests.
"During our almost 11 years together we have loved each other deeply, taken care of each other and stood by one another," read the statement.
"They have been the most wonderful years of our lives, and thanks to that love and the respect that we share for one another we have been an exceptional couple and partners.
"We move forward as partners, developing projects together, working hand in hand and in close communication.
"Our friendship and understanding of one another is unwavering and indestructible."
Towards the end of last year there were rumours Shakira was seeing Barcelona FC player Gerard Pique, but she denied them.
"Me and Pique together? That's a waka-rumour," she said – referring to her World Cup song Waka Waka.
The footballer himself has also put paid to the stories. "Shakira and I are just friends, there's nothing more" he said this week.
Shakira met Antonio in Buenos Aires in 2000 when he was working on his father's election campaign and she was promoting an album. They started dating soon after and since then have maintained a stable and discrete relationship away from the spotlight.
The lawyer has been a constant at her side as she travels the world and has been instrumental in the finance side of her career. He had a key role in negotiating her Live Aid contract – a ten-year deal worth between $70 and $100 million.
Shakira has said in numerous interviews that the pair were ready to settle down and start a family.

A radiant Jennifer Connelly and her baby bump stole the show at the premiere of The Dilemma this week.
The 40-year-old actress was absolutely glowing as she hit the red carpet in Chicago wearing a simple and chic grey floor-length gown.
She will welcome her third child this year, having announced the happy news that she and actor husband Paul Bettany were expecting back in December.
The Oscar winner is already a mum to the couple's seven-year-old son Stellan, and also to 13-year-old Kai from a previous relationship with photographer David Duggan.
Appearing on the David Letterman show recently, Jennifer revealed the first three months of her pregnancy were "very sketchy".
"You know like when you have your cell phone and you have to stand in one spot…it was like that with nausea," she said.
"I had to stand in one spot, which happened to be in front of my refrigerator which was open with me dipping pretzels in cream cheese and stuffing them in my mouth."
Jennifer stars in The Dilemma alongside stars including new dad Vince Vaughn, Winona Ryder and Channing Tatum.

Michael Jackson's doctor accused of hiding drugs
Michael Jackson's doctor has been accused of hiding bottles of drugs and misinforming paramedics, as the hearing continues into the singer's death.
A paramedic who treated the pop superstar on the day he died described his interaction with Dr Conrad Murray (pictured) as he tried to revive Michael.
He said: "I asked Dr Murray 'Did you give him these drugs?' and he said 'No'. He scooped them off the floor and put them in a black bag."
The paramedic also said the 57-year-old doctor denied giving Michael any medication at all.
He said: "We asked if the patient was on any medications or any recreational drugs and the answer was 'No'".
The preliminary hearing will decide whether there is enough evidence for a full trial of Dr Murray. He has already denied involuntary manslaughter.
