IIRC Vincent was a bit media-shy in the beginning (1st Royal Run when all of the family except him talked with the reporters, schoolstart...) but now he seems very confident. But of course he is doing something in which he excels and for which he always gets praised by the media.

According to the published schedule Queen Mary will run in Kalundborg at 4:30 pm.

She has a new hairdresser because the former one retired not because she was looking for a new style. I guess by now Mary knows what works for her and tells him what she wants.

We have seen it previously on Mary. I don't follow Maxima's style, so can't tell if she owns it too.

Victoria looked great in the evenings. The gown from Lindarw is beautiful and goes well with the tiara - IMO it's very much celebrity style though. The Saloni Claudia dress is beautiful too but it's a summer dress IMO and does not go well with that coat.

No, I think it's her old golden dress with a new top.

??? Koldinghus celebrates Benedikte's birthday with an exhibition of her dresses. There are no dresses of any other princess.

The brooch is by Georg Jensen and was made as hommage to Queen Margrethe on the occasion of her 50th throne jubilee. It symbolizes her motto. In 2022 the Queen and the then Crown Princess both got one. Queen Margrethe wears it in her birthday pics.

As one of the articles iceflower and Blog Real posted mentions a female Home guard soldier had died during her watch last night. This cast a sad shadow over the jubilee event, there was 1 minute of silence and Mary had to change her speech at the last moment.

Joachim may not be a politician or a journalist but I am sure he was there because he was invited. This seems to be a networking event, so his presence is not warranted but understandable IMO. As for wearing his medals, I don't know enough about protocol to have a qualified opinion but he is a...

I think it has do do with press access not with planning. Obviously he (or they) didn't want to have the press around at these meetings, therefore the events were not announced in advance but added later. It says on the website: The list of official events for the Royal Family mainly reflects...

Well, what counts as official solo act for you? Christian was Regent for 3 days in January/February. And he will run solo in the city Bronderslev during the Royal Run in May. As for taking over patronages I guess they will wait until he has finished school.

No, I have seen it before. I think it's the uniform of the Air Force. We usually see Frederik in the uniform of the Navy. It's a dinner/banquet/tafel. Now, why would anyone think the obvious choice of place would be Riddersalen (The Knights' Hall) and not Tafelsaalen (The Banquet Hall)...

Queen Mary will attend the European Men's Handball Championship finale between Denmark and France in Köln, Germany today.

Is this oath he has given the usual oath on the constitution? Because in that case I don't quite see why abdicating would mean breaking his oath. He can still respect the constitution. Or is there a special oath in Norway which includes that he has to stay King until death?
