:previous::previous: OK, now I understand why that was important to Queen Ingrid. She sounds like an intelligent and sensible woman. :flowers: My ancestry is German, so it's interesting to me to learn these things. I have bought from Amazon.com two books ''Darkness Over Denmark'' and ''A...

Nice article and pictures - Thank you, Muhler. It says that ''Queen Ingrid took on South Jutland as her main cause.'' Was it a depressed and/or neglected area? On one of Rick Steves' travel shows he toured Jutland, and it looked lovely and rural.

She's not scheduled to be in Poland next week with Frederik. Haakon and Victoria will also be there, but not their spouses. The naysayers are no doubt saying that she's off somewhere having plastic surgery!

It seems the furor is dying down a little. I enjoyed the humorous pictures that were posted. Especially the James Bond-ish one, with Mary hanging onto Fred and the Little Mermaid in the background. :lol: Muhler was right, there are more serious things going on in Europe right now. By...

Totally agree! I'll be interesting to see what, if anything, QMII has to say about it.

This is slightly off-topic, and I'm not sure where to post it, so the moderators can move it if necessary. Did any of the US members happen to catch 'House Hunters International' on HGTV last night? It was about a couple shopping for a house in Greenland. I missed the first few minutes, but I...

:previous: Not only that, but I'm sure I have seen a picture of Christian wearing the same gray sweater that Isabella is pictured in. I wonder if Josephine's is the one with stars on the sleeves that we saw in the Greenland pictures. I think Mary dresses her children very nicely, and there's...

Royalty gives us a glimpse into another world that most of us will never experience. Also, the historical ties and the traditions are interesting. I have followed the British royals for a long time - I was a fan of Diana, but I could see that she was not without faults. My interest in royalty...

Mary does wear a lot of makeup, but so do Maxima, Letizia, and others. After all, they know they are going to be photographed. As some have said, harsh lighting will bring out all the flaws. And what used to be called ''laugh lines'' are now called ''crow's feet.'' Too bad. I think Mary...

Apparently the public is allowed to get quite close to the royals on this occasion, in spite of what I presume is heavy security. On the Royal Watcher site, there is a picture of several people with cell phone cameras taking pictures through the windows. Just click on 'Danish Royal Family' and...

:previous: Someone has to stay at Amalienborg and keep an eye on the place! Happy New Year - may it be healthy, peaceful, and prosperous for all. :newyear:

Thank you, Roskilde; that makes sense. Maybe Billedbladet will have to publish a double issue. Oh well, we'll have lots to talk about in the next couple of weeks! The pictures of Amalienborg were nice, too. That's quite a construction project going on. :flowers:

Have any pictures of the royal family's 2014 Christmas cards been released yet?

Nice pictures, Roskilde. The twins don't look too impressed; maybe they're a little tired. Isabella and Josephine appear to be dressed alike, and Isabella has evidently inherited her mother's love of bracelets. Vincent seems to take after his father with those colorful pants. He probably...

Thank you, Nordic. :flowers: It's quite lovely, and they've included a stoplist for us nerdy types. ;)

Muhler, you've outdone yourself with that lovely description of night at the lodge in Trend. It reminded me of the days when I used to live in the country.

I Googled ''Fredensborg palace church'' hoping to find a picture of the organ. I'm sure there is one, but I couldn't find a picture. There is quite an elaborate piano, though. I feel for the organist having to play for a congregation composed almost entirely of royalty - I still get nervous...

There has been some speculation as to whereabouts of the various members of the DRF recently, especially M&F who seems to have vanished from the official calendar. ------------- Maybe Frederik's at Fredensborg helping to rearrange the furniture and pack up the breakables in preparation...

There was also a report about this on NPR - National Public Radio - in the US yesterday. Although they didn't refer to the Danes as ''plucky.'' :smile:

I'm not quite sure where to post this: over on The Royal Watcher site, there is a picture of the Christmas card being sent out by the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall. It's of the two of them at the Invictus games, and right behind Charles, there's a smiling CP Frederik! So whoever...

Thank you, Muhler - our curiousity has been satisfied. I like the first one better than the second.

:previous: Thank you, Roskilde, for posting that gallery. They look so happy, and the babies are so cute! Even while holding a baby, Frederik can't keep from putting a hand in his pocket :lol:

The funeral for the late Queen Fabiola of Belguim will be on Friday, Dec. 12. Since it will be a state funeral, I wonder if any of the Danish royals will attend.

According to the Royal Gossip website, the producer of ''Frederik's Young Years'' is having problems getting the film off the ground, because none of Frederik's former girlfriends wants to be interviewed. They have a link to an Ekstra Bladet article. It's all in Danish, so if anyone wants to...

Those are good skills to learn. The schools in the US are turning their emphasis to science, math, and tests (which are certainly important) and neglecting life skills. Public speaking is useful in many occupations. I'm a happy American, but I get frustrated with our school systems. They...
