No official event in the calender, but it sure looks like they are their way to something official aboard on maybe Dannebrog? The Danish wheather is fantastic these days :)
 
Summary of article in Billed Bladet #19, 2016.
Written by Juliane Olsen.

Wearing a lether jacket from Little Remix and handmade booties from MAA Bella went to an Adele concert in Copenhagen with dad.
With them went Peter Warnøe and his Norwegian sweetheart and two daughters, Barbrara and Bjørk.

After the concert a slightly shy Bella said about the concert: "It was good".
Did they enjoy the concert? Frederik: "Yes, we did. Adele is lyrically speaking totally fantastic.

Apart from wearing a "charmer-rag" Frederik also wore a necklace in the shape of Bronce-age Sun-Wagon.

Solvognen as it is called in Danish was dug up 1902 and it's estimated to have been made with gold from Rumania (trade was alive and well back then) around 1.400 BC - I.e. it's 3.400 years old and it is believed to depict the sun and they way it moves around in the sky, presumably by a now forgotten god. IRRC it's one of the few pieces of Celtic arts found in DK. The art otherwise found here is Germanic - and products exported from the Roman Empire. Until recently at least, the largest number of Roman swords found were found in Danish bogs, where they had been sacrificed to the gods and that was also the case with the Sun Waggon.

In case anyone are in doubt it was yet again confirmed that Isabella is called Bella by her family, because Frederik is quoted for saying: "Come, Bella".

Congratulations to our Crown Prince Couple who today can celebrate their 12 year wedding anniversary.

The day when the most Danes sat with a lump in their throat as our Crown Prince with tears in his eye watched his bride stride down the aisle :wub:

Here's a very nice gallery with many loving and touching pictures from their wedding day:

Frederik has later said that he at that moment thought: To hell with keeping the facade:

"I could hear on the crowd outside that Mary had arrived. There were certainly a lot of undelivered and pent-up emotions that I had had for myself for several years, which could not and should not be held back. I thought: To hell with keeping the facade. This is the big moment. I was also concerned that the situation when Mary came down the aisle and the ceremony was only Mary and me. The church could just as well have been totally empty. There were only the two of us in that intense moment."

In November our Crown Prince Couple can celebrate their copper wedding.

Those photos of Isabella and Frederik at the Adele concert were so lovely, and it was indeed nice to see them spending some father/daughter time together. Isabella seems to be a big fan of Adele (I must admit, I'm quite jealous! I would love to see Adele in concert :D), the video of her getting excitable was super cute.
 
Thank you all for the wonderful memories. :flowers:

ps: I've a sneaking suspicion that Fred and Mary dance like an old married couple these days. ;)

Access to the scans have been blocked!! Due to hot-linking.

I have made it very clear on several occasions, that anyone are free to download my scans and upload the links from their own account elsewhere and without crediting me.
(BB after all has the copyrights, not me.)

I will not accept that my links here on TRF are copy-pasted anywhere outside TRF!!

If in doubt at least have the common courtesy to contact me.

Surely that is a reasonable condition?
 
:previous: that's a shame Muhler that people will not follow your simple and reasonable request. :sad:

Thanks for the links and videos Roskilde.
Beautiful wedding, and Im sure lots of beautiful moments since
 
When M&F got married each of the 433 invited guests got a porcelain-heart as memento. Frederik og Marys personlige bryllupsgave sat til salg: Her er prisen på et hjerte mage til dronningens

Now one of the hearts have ended up at an Copenhagener antique shop and put up for sale for 6.000 DKK - roughly 1.000 $
And it may just have been sold, but the money has not yet been transferred, so there is still hope.

Click-bait from daily Mail, but nice pics.

:previous: a collectors item, i would say, since there is only 433. its very cute.
and from the article , we can tell that its not the Queen who is selling hers ;)

"you could in the TV shows 'Queen's castles' see that Queen Margrethe so fond of her heart that it is lying on her desk in the study at Fredensborg Palace."
 
Gee I have a striped top I must channel them both !!
No, no, I had a striped top 20 years ago. They are all channelling me.
Are the people writing this shxx really journalists? They must be so proud of themselves...

CP Mary was seen taking Vincent and Josephine to kindergarten in the family's Nihola bike :)

As you know, this is a very usual thing to see in Copenhagen and it's my clear impression F&M does this everyday. The picture must be from last week where we had fantastic weather in Denmark :)

I believe it is.

It was determined that Josephine did not wear the bracelet on the balcony at QMII's birthday.

Very cute photo with a couple of very cute kids, Mary looks beautiful and looks to enjoy taking the twins on the bike.
 
She must be considered are responsible enough already not to play with it and loose then. I would have had that off in no time :)

Going off topic but does anyone know if the bracelet tradition has carried on with Benedikte and Anne Marie's daughters and granddaughters?

and an exciting day for Frederik and Christian at a sailing race
"In those days held DM in Drage in the appropriate Øreundsby Dragør. After the restart of the first race, the championship started in earnest in light winds and cloudy.
Among the participants is Crown Prince Frederik as in addition to the permanent crew of the Dragon 'Nanoq', Anders Myralf and Jesper Riise, also has his son Prince Christian on board."

The weekend starts today and Frederik and Christian seems to begin it with some cool father and son time :cool:

"Dragør Sejlklub and Dansk Drageklub host the Open Danish Dragon Championship 20th to 22nd May 2016 - The Crown Prince has taken Prince Christian with him on board"

Among the participants is Crown Prince Frederik. In addition to the permanent crew of the Dragon 'Nanoq', Anders Myralf and Jesper Riise, he also has his son Prince Christian on board:

:previous: Christian must be super excited. Nice bonding time.
We have seen that Christian has taken sailing classes before
http://40.media.tumblr.com/b9888eab4b987e593ae98dfe7cffa1b0/tumblr_nw844cGhG31uhvyuko10_1280.jpg
which Frederik has often taken him

and if I may borrow from Muhler one of his many translations. :flowers:
It was an interview with Frederik and Henrik about the 150 anniversary of the Royal Yacht club. He mentions Christian and sailing

"Frederik: "We are very attentive about his well-being and joy about sailing".
PH: "I have a couple of times talked with him about sailing and he seem very fond of sailing. That's good at that age, but I have not yet seen Prince Christian sail".
Frederik: "Christian has been doing this sport for a couple of years, so it's difficult to say anything about his potentials. - I often go with him to training, where we often talk about it. And it's very important for him that he has my backing".
Frederik adds that Christian is more bold in a boat than Frederik was at that age. "
 
:previous:

Thanks Muhler :flowers:

This was today. Christian participated in the whole sail competition with dad while Mary had Bella, Vincent and Josephine with her to the race to cheer on Frederik and Christian. Mary and the children cheered on a boat out on the water.

BB mentions:

- For the second day Christian participating in the prestigious "Danish Open Dragon Championship" with his father.

- Right from the start, Frederik and Christian emerged as a close-knit team of the dragon "Nanoq" in Dragør Harbour.

- Immediately after arrival at Dragør harbor this morning Christian began hosing the boat's deck, while Frederik talked with several of the other sailors on the quay.

- Then several hours of sailing went for Frederik and Christian.
During the race Christian was seen very active on the boat and did the tasks that he got underway without problems.

- Today Mary with Isabella, Vincent and Josephine visited so they could cheer on their two sailors. They cheered on a boat out in the water.

- It is the first time that Christian participates in a sailer race with his father.

It makes me smile seeing that even the royals spend their weekend at their kids' sporting events. Mary The Soccer Mom. :D
 
More photos
now this is a happy boy

And great that they made it a family day out in the water , with Mary and the kids following on a boat

Thanks for the close-up picture of Christian, Polyesco :flowers:

I see SO much granddad John Donaldson in him. And I has done since Christian was a baby. Christian has inherited his grandfather's and mother's mild, confident and calm Scottish mind.

I remember reading both Frederik and Margrethe have noticed it too. And it will (and already does) make it so much easier for Christian with this important role he has.

Se&Hør with an article with a gallery:
Kronprinsen om Christian i kapsejlads: Han klarede det fortræffeligt | SE og HØR

About Christian's abilities as a sailor?

- He did it excellently, smiled a proud father and Crown Prince to Se&hør after the sailing in Dragør.
 
In this BB video, Christian is giving an interview about sailing: VIDEO: Prins Christian fortæller om sin sjove dag på vandet med far | BILLED-BLADET

I notice that he is just calmly answering the questions, without making a show of himself or being shy.

From 0:45
Christians confirms that it was fun:
"Yes, I think so".

Q: How is it to sail with you dad?
"It's different, because I've also sailed optimist dinghy".

Q: Okay, so you could use some of the techniques you've learned?
"Yes".

Q: What do you like about sailing?
"That, eh, that it's a cool pleasure to be out on the water. And at the same time, you also kinda have to work, rather than just sitting around waiting".

Q: Can dad teach you some tricks?
"He sure can".

Frederik is also answering questions albeit a little more reluctant that Christian, about whom he said had done splendidly.
He also laughingly admitted that it went better today, from being second last in the race, to whatever position they had.
