Prince Joachim, Current Events 1: September 2004 - 2005

[galuhcandrakirana]

It's hard to say, because as far as I know nothing like that has ever happened. I know nothing of law, so anyone who does please correct me if I'm wrong... But I think that according to the law the royal (danish at least) family is immune, and you would have to change the constitution if a member should be punished. I don't know if they would change the law in such a serious matter, lets hope it will never be necesarry to cange it.

Its Ok if you are not sure about it...lets hoping that some one who know about it will give us more information. I think it will not fair for the victim if the law let them free at all .

Now that sounds like a plausible excuse. Doesn't make it right but it sounds plausible.

Now I'm asking why or what did he have to hide from pap reporters? He should be used to that already, or maybe he became sensitive to the lot of them since divorce announcement ? Just think about it, and a conspiracy is spinning.

 

[Dennism]

Yes, good point. Why does he feel he has to hide quite like this? I mean speeding away and all.

I think that no matter how long you are in the public eye, whether it be from birth as in Joachim's case or later in your life, such as in the case of Alexandra, you are never quite used to the paparazzi chasing you. Look at the paparazzi chase that resulted in Diana's death. She was arguably one of the most photographed women in the world at the time, and by all accounts she should've been used to the paparazzi chasing her. Yet on that fateful night someone gave the order for her driver to speed through that Paris tunnel to get away from the press.

It might not be that Joachim had something to hide, but perhaps that he was just frustrated by the situation. No doubt since the divorce announcement there is increased attention in him, particularly about who he may be dating now.

wedding ring

Both Alexandra and Joachim still wear their wedding rings. I guess they believe even through they aren't together, they still are married and should repect the whole idea of marriage.

 

[H.M. Margrethe]

When did Princess Benedikte get caught speeding? And how much over the speed limit was it?

If i remember rigt it was in middel of the 90´s and i think the speed limit was over 110 wher she was allowed to drive 60.

From Colourpress: The Danish magazines Ekstra Bladet and Se og Hoer writes about Prince Joachim visiting the discos again...

 

[rchainho]

Someone can explain me why the prince drink so much and why does he like younger girls?

i read that Prince Joachim will represent Denmark at the funeral of Prince Rainer of Monaco

Pseudo-mid-life crisis? Who knows? I don't think the man realizes what he lost when he divorced.

In most of the covers, the tabloids actually have a photo of the Prince at an official engagement drinking champaigne.

As for his preference in younger women, he's only been allegedly dating 2 younger women so who knows.

Yes, the tabloids and gossipmagazines have more or less only used same 4 or 5 pictures all this time. The picture Alisa mentioned. And a picture of Joachim at a soccermatch, holding a beer in his hand and with a faceexpression as if he was drunk, when infact the faceexpression was because the Danish soccerteam just scored a goal. Then they have used a picture of Joachim dancing in a discoteque with a drink in his hand. But this was manipulated, because Alexandra was also in the original picture, but they appropriately crooped her out of it There is only one picture(that I have seen), where Joachim looks really drunk and talking to a girl.

The most recent story (Nasseprinsen) Ekstra Bladet wrote that Joachim wasn't especially drunk and that he behaved well, only talking to people(guys and girls) that came to him, not the other way arround. The only claim was that Joachim wanted his drinks for free. BT had a simmilar story of that night, allthough thier story was that he only talked to his friends. Only Se & Hør exaggrated the story, but they do that with all thier stories

Se & Hør and Ekstra Bladet have done everything to make Joachim a hateobject in the public eye and make him the scapegoat of the broken marrige. And it looks like they have very much succeeded in doing that.

It's in the interests of the tabloids to put such pictures of Joachim on the cover and make him seem like a philandering playboy. It's what makes readers curious and will buy the magazines, even if they are full of hear say and gossip and fifth hand accounts of Joachim's alleged drunkenness.

Since Joachim and Alexandra have thankfully taken the high road with their divorce and neither has officially said one thing or another about why their marriage ended, the tabloids need to blame someone. Now it's Joachim, but maybe in a few months they'll get tired of the playboy angle and blame Alexandra.

Why would it be on he's divorced remember?

I know, I was just commenting on the fact that I didn't like it off meaning I don't like them divorced.

PRINCE JOACHIM TAKES HIS BOYS FOR A BIT OF HORSEPLAY

19 APRIL 2005

The Danish royals don't have quite so strong a reputation as their British counterparts when it comes to equestrian events, but that may change in years to come. While the likes of Zara Phillips and her cousin Harry are famous for their riding skills, it now looks as though Prince Joachim's sons, little Nikolai and Felix, are also budding horsemen.

Denmark's two young princes were pictured getting to grips to with a placid steed at the Levante Horse Show in Copenhagen. The youngsters needed a little help from their father in order to mount the animal, but once in place they seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the experience.

Their doting dad was also relishing the opportunity to spend some quality time with his two little boys. And the outing was further evidence that, despite his recent split from Princess Alexandra, the 35-year-old is determined to give five-year-old Felix and his two-year-old brother a happy childhood.

Joachim and Alexandra decided to go their separate ways six months ago after ten years of marriage. The enormously popular princess still lives in Copenhagen, in a plush villa to the north of the city, which she shares with the children. The divorce was finalised by a court in the capital just a fortnight ago, but the couple remain on good terms and often meet up for family gatherings.

2. Nikolai and a friend find there's room for two on the easy-going animal

Så har Joachim smidt vielsesringen
Prins Joachim har under hele separationsperioden trofast båret sin vielsesring, men nu er den endelig røget

Af Rune Melchior Sjørvad - 15:21 - 4. maj. 2005 Prins Joachims ringløse finger på venstre hånd har været synlig ved flere af prinsens seneste offentlige optrædener.

Blandt andet var den frigjorte finger synlig, da prinsen forleden overrakte priser til unge forskere ved en finale for 'Unge Forskere 2005' i Ingeniørernes Hus. Det skriver Billed Bladet onsdag.

Uden ringen er Prins Joachim nu uden synligt bevis på det forliste ægteskab med prinsesse Alexandra, og han behøver ikke længere lægge bånd på sig selv, når han eksempelvis ønsker at gå en tur på diskotek.




hmmm..from the photos...i'm guessing that ekstra bladet is trying to say something about his wedding ring is not there anymore or sth...ahah....maybe someone can translate the whole thing....
