My own mother suffered from dementia for years before we got the official diagnosis of Alzheimer's. In its later stages, Alzheimer's patients often suffer Trans-ischemic attacks - TIA's, sometimes called mini-strokes. I'm sure that the DRF will continue to support not only PH, but also each...

The Prime minister is right - it's time for the press to back off, and see what happens next. The family is going through a stressful time and needs to have privacy to deal with it. As for PH, my German grandmother had a saying which translates to ''this will go home with him.''

Wow - that is really bad. PH does look like he's been ill and lost weight. But to speak out so publicly on a private matter is not good. If the Queen does decide to separate (I think divorce is unlikely, especially if he is not of sound mind) from him, I wonder if she will cut back on her...

It's possible that it didn't bother him at the time of the marriage, but developed over the years. It seems to have been a successful marriage, and with their mutual artistic interests, they have a lot in common. But I did read somewhere that there was some sort of issue in the early years of...

If you go to 'Map of the Danish Royals' in the topic listing, you'll find the 'Royal Library sub-forum' where several books are listed. However, according to what I have read here, the one by Trine Villeman should be taken with a grain of salt. Amazon has both the Kindle and hardcover version...

I've been wondering about that myself. Or, to take it a step farther, maybe he's willing to be buried next to her if she abdicates? Farfetched, I know, but... In any case, this is very sad. To see a couple in their twilight years having marital issues is bad enough, but it also has to be...

Yes, it seemed a bit disorganized, but you have to give the DRF credit for not cancelling their appearance because of the weather. As for QM, rain and damp is not good for osteoarthritis, but she didn't let that stop her. She just put on her cheerful rain gear and carried on. :flowers...

:previous: Absolutely agree! From my own experience in a long-term marriage, even though you love the other person, sometimes you just don't like them very much. You adjust and go on; whatever works for the two of you.

This may be OT, but agree with you. The styles these days aren't that great, especially in evening wear. Have you seen the dress that CP Victoria wore to the Polar Music Awards? It looks like it's made from wrapping paper! Mary may be going through a conservative phase, or opting for comfort...

The actor Sir Roger Moore died today. Apparently he was a friend of the DRF - I remember seeing a picture of him and his wife at Mary and Frederik's wedding. According to the news report I read, the funeral will be in Monaco. I wonder if any of the DRF will attend.

A worthy cause, to be sure. But...red rabbits? What happened to the familiar purple teddy bears? :ermm:

Nice video - I love Athena's curly hair! :smile: There's also a brief video on the DRF Facebook page, which features an excellent women's choir. I think it may be the DR Pigekor (sp?) which has some videos on YouTube. Does anyone know the name of the song they're singing?

Having lost several pets myself, I can appreciate how the family is feeling. In time, maybe there will be a new dog for them to love, and be loved in return. Rest in peace, Ziggy. :sad:

:previous: We have no idea what goes on behind the scenes. There could be phone calls, letters, flowers, etc. to show concern. In QM's case, maybe she isn't up to making the trip. Or maybe (as in the case of the recent confirmation) more royalty would be disruptive, because of the extra...

It's no different, except for the number of participants. The liturgy is the same no matter how many are being confirmed. It used to be (in the US) you couldn't receive Holy Communion until you were confirmed. Now there is 'early' communion, which I'm not too familiar with, except the...

:previous: Prince William in the UK was confirmed privately, for that very reason. Does anyone know if Felix received instruction (Catechism) privately or with a group? For my confirmation in a small country church, I wore a white dress. Bigger churches in towns usually used the robes. My...

Great pics and videos. The ladies all look lovely in their spring colors. At the airport, it worked out nicely that in Henrik's absence, Frederik escorted Mathilde, and Joachim escorted Mary and Marie. Why didn't someone give QMII a helping hand when she was getting out of the carriage? She...

Thank you for the pictures of the two princes, Roskilde. Especially liked the one with Haakon's disheveled hair - it's usually the other way around, Frederik's hair is a mess and Haakon is impeccably groomed. :lol:

Sad news indeed - a sudden passing hard on the family, but they have the consolation that there was not a long period of suffering. My condolences to Princess Benedikte - from one widow to another. Did Prince Richard hold the Order of the Elephant? Was it his father or grandfather that made...

I recently posted this in the ''Royal Library'' sub-forum, but I'm not sure that anyone actually saw it, so I'll try re-posting it here. Note to moderators: if this is the wrong thread, move it to wherever you feel it's appropriate. The ''Mary'' movie is back on YouTube and available for free...

The Mary movie is back on YouTube and available for free viewing. Before, you had to go to some sort of special subscription service to get it. The quality isn't the best, faces are frequently cut out, and some of the dialogue is so fast you can't catch all the words. But if you really want to...

:previous:Thank you for these additional pictures. They were the glamorous royals of their day, weren't they? Especially nice to see Baudoin and Fabiola, but I wonder what the story is behind picture #2. The Belgian couple look happy, Frederik and Ingrid, not so much. Probably just a...

:previous: Thank you, polyesco - my curiosity has been satisfied. Presumably the twins are at ski school or enjoying some hot chocolate by the fire. Yes, Isabella has had a growth spurt.

The link doesn't work for me. I can get to the Legion Media homepage, but the search results are not successful. Is anyone else having problems getting to the last page of this thread? I can get it on my laptop but not my desktop. Bad day in cyberspace, I guess. :sad:

Does Mary have a new stylist? Today's look, for example: black and white tweed, purple hat and shoes, black scarf ... she's done better. :ermm: Having said that, it looks like an interesting exhibition.
