It looks absolutely aweful. IMO, Thomas Kluge made the ultimate Queen Margrethe painting. Not flattering, but majestic - in an elizabethan way.

I usually don't comment on those things - but judging from pic #15 it looks like the queen had her teeth done.

Depending on how you calculate it... Let's say he's got 260 workdays/year (that's monday-friday every week of the year). He's regent for 47 days (that's 213 left), then he's out of the country for 61 days (that's 152 days left). Divided by the number of days abroad (61) it leaves him just short...

No. Although being elderly, grumpy and a communist doesn't help, he's wrong because his facts are wrong - if you can call them facts. But asking a communist to write his opinion (because that's what it really is) on the royals, would be like having Kinnock write a bio on Thatcher. And even if...

MASSIVE improvement on the website. Good on ya, mate.

Are you serious? Personally, I think such shows are excellent in times of trouble. As Oscar Wilde said "Give me the luxuries, I can dispence with the necessities." It's not like the royals are responsible for the recession (although I suspect you are the right person to drum up reasons for why...

That doesn't make any sense. If I'm in australia on vacation, and I feel threatened by someone or have my wallet stolen - will I be able (in your opinion) to contact the Australian police without having to pay for their services? No matter who you are, if you are legally in a country, that...

Today at 10.50 (my time) you say: To break it down - you say that there's one rule for them, and another for the rest of us. The only rule you mention in the post is the posibility for procution of parents in the UK. What else can you mean? If you just mean in general, that royals act under...

Do you know the junction? Do we know that Christian didn't look? Could be there's a clear view from where he begins running, in both directions. They brag about it? I think Christian, Isabella etc. live quite "normal" lives, or as normal as it gets when you're a prince(ss). Their parents live...

Not so in Denmark. Although it is an issue that parents take the children out of school a week before the winter break to go skiing etc. coming back the week the rest of the kids are on the official break. Yup. There's the proof. What will the world come to? I too think it should be possible to...

And I bet they let him play with matches as well. "Not Sure" are the key words in that paragraph. I don't see a single car in the entire clip. For all we know you're just dreaming up problems. I think they're just killing two birds with one stone. What's all the hubbub? Wouldn't you just be...

I think it's a more 1-2-1-2 thing. Say the queen was coming along, she could take Christian with her - but not Frederik. They have to skip a place in the line of succession. Surely at some point it makes no matter, i.e. the twins are not consideres problematic, as their place in the LoS is so...

Not sure, but I don't think so. Would be cool, though.

The most nauseating thing about that entire story is Ekstra Bladets "holyer than thou" approach. Especially seen in the light that EB were wallowing in the story the day before - as if it was fact. Then Euroman is caught red handed, and EB turns on a dime, climbs the high horse and start...

Hiring a stylist may have been initiated by Frederik or someone at court, just like I'm sure the court have footed that bill. It may even be seen as a sort of "test" - like the language-teacher getting in rather soon - "are you in this for the long haul? Can you accept these terms". You don't...

Nah, it's just undignified driving something with only one horsepower.

Jarl Friis-Mikkelsen is an actor/director and TV-presenter as well as a TV-magnate (or as close as you come to that in little Denmark). He's also a socialite associating with many of the established TV- and movie-stars in Denmark. I have no idea what his relations to the Crown Prince couple is...

I don't know what's wrong with me - but I fail to notice such things. To me, a "clean" racing attire would be more "off" than a sponsor-covered suit. IMO it's perfectly cool. Although Joachim is my favourite of the two brothers, I realize - and so does the rest of the country - that his role is...

Yeah, I know. But I think the Australian weather gets in your blood. But that can still be a challenge. An associate of mine was in France last week in a caravan. She said it was "shorts weather. Although the ones caravanning 100 m down the hill had to wear their winter clothes". As...

Actually, she's not really "from" Denmark. And having a few aussie family members, I know that they are chronically cold when in just slightly colder climates than New South Wales. I have no idea as to what the royals know about NY, but I often find myself surprised that the temperature is so...

I read this on another forum, and I think it's absolutely true: "Who's best at running a country? The person who's been trained for it his entire life, or the person who was able to drum up more votes?" In a nutshell, it's what republics are. There are no good presidents or bad presidents...

Yeah, she's a real promise-keeper that one. You are describing my absolutely worst nightmare. If you are right, Europe will sink into a grey abyss of corruption and indifference, with powerhungry politicians greedily grabbing everything they can get their hands on. We're already seeing the...

The new Danish government is proposing a rewrite - headed by the social liberals - of the constitution, with one of the primary suggestions being a removal of the Monarchy or a reduction of it's role in politics (the traditional or symbolic role in astablishing government and calling elections)...

I have often wondered about Mary's lack of an australian accent. I have quite a bit of family in Australia - in several walks of life - so I'm not unfamiliar with the accent. She's only had a trace of it since I heard her speak officially the first time. However, if it's an inherent quality in...

When was that ever the norm?
