Somewhere, I saw a brief discussion concerning a weekend party that QMII gave so Frederik could meet some young ladies from other noble houses before he became engaged to Mary. If it was on this forum, could someone direct me to the proper thread?

The gif of Josephine was on the Royal Watcher blog for a while - I loved seeing it again. It's going to be interesting to watch her grow up, she so full of spunk! And Isabella is going to be a real beauty. But then, look who the parents are. :flowers:

The determination of who should receive an award is done by a committee, who presumably make their selections carefully. I did a brief Google search, and it seems this award spans a large area of achievement. CP Mary uses her organizational skills and connections to bring attention to good...

:previous: So it's not a ''done deal.'' That's good. If the film is eventually made, it will be interesting to see how it's received. In any case, it apparently won't be for a while, and a lot can happen in the meantime.

It's great that Mary is being recognized for her charity work. I had never heard of the Bambi award until now, but apparently it's quite prestigious. No wonder Frederik looks so proud! They both look good (wonderful dress, very classy) and I'm glad she recovered from her near fall. But I do...

The idea of this movie bothers me. The information is already out there, so why does he feel this is necessary? F&M's children shouldn't be exposed to this sort of thing. If the producer has really talked to people close to them, I wonder how long they'll be close. The ''Mary hate website''...

----------------------------------------------------------------------- How about a kilt? At some time in the future, we may see Christian and Vincent in one, owing to their mother's Scottish heritage. We'll probably never see Fred in one, though. Too bad.

Thank you for the explanation. I used to live in a wooded area, and we had a lot of hunters. As much as I loved seeing the deer come into the yard, they do need to be controlled. I have seen pictures of other royal hunts where the day's kill was laid out for viewing. Some people were...

:previous:Oh my goodness! I'm amazed at the wearing of ties to go hunting. It must be a tradition. In the US, anyone wearing a tie would be laughed right out of the hunting party. :lol: What is the function of the men in the green uniforms? I assume they are some sort of park supervisor. Is...

If they were constantly holding hands or mooning over each other, those same people would say it's all a show for the cameras. Sad. As for me, I'll take the photos at face value. I enjoy looking at pictures of royalty, but I also have a life.

:previous: From the pictures, it looks like you're having a beautiful autumn in Denmark. Very pretty countryside, too. Nice to see Athena out and about.

:previous: Typical Daily Mail - gushing, but nice pictures. One of the commenters says that Frederik has ''those eyes'' again. I wonder what that means - any guesses?

:previous: The things you learn on this forum! Where I come from, mousy brown is a put-down. I guess you can't call this a regional difference, it would be a world-wide difference. I would say Isabella's hair is light brown. To each his own, I guess. :flowers:

Well, the magazine and article are aimed toward women, so I guess I can see their point. Although a picture of Frederik would please the ladies, too.:smile: But in the DM article, Isabella's hair is referred to as 'mousy brown.' That was mean and unnecessary :sad:

:previous: Very interesting, Muhler. Thank you. Until I read the Royalista article earlier today, I had no idea that such a place existed in Denmark. Are any of those churches in use today? If not as a place of worship, possibly a museum? It's good to see these things preserved.

IMO, what makes children beautiful is their innocent, unlined faces and their wide-open, eager eyes. They haven't yet been touched by cynicism, tragedy, or hatred. Those things show in our faces. It's so sad to see children who are the victims of war, hunger, etc. They've lost much of their...

Thank you, Archduchess Zelia. :flowers: I feel better now. It's just that there's so much focus on Mary - her clothes, hair, etc. - it seems Frederik is often slighted. As we all know, it takes two.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Even though I don't speak Danish, I see that Christian is referred to as ''Mary's.'' Just like the Australian ''abdication'' article, Frederik isn't even mentioned. :bang: Oh well. Happy Birthday, Christian!

A loyal Dane who lives in Greece? Hmm... I wonder if this sort of criticism is heaped on other royal couples (I know there's some ''Kate hate'' in the UK) but I refuse to check on that ''other website that shall remain nameless'' to find out.

Does anyone know if there is an elevator in the building? I hope so - carrying luggage, etc., not to mention all the things children require - up and down stairs would be quite tiring!

Some of it is due to spellcheck, etc., but mostly it's carelessness. I think newspapers were more accurate when they had human proofreaders. As to the Daily Mail, I do check out their articles for the pictures and the reader comments, but I can see where they got their nickname - the Daily Fail.

Thank you for the screen shots, Roskilde. Interesting to see the facial expressions in relation to the hands on the clock! All the ladies looked great - love Marie's hat. The Crown Princess Mary Unofficial Message Board has more pictures and a video. Love that Frederik and Joachim kissed...

And you are quite correct when you question their knowledge of the succession . . . they are utterly clueless and arrogant in their ignorance. The next story to come along to support their "cause" will be Q Margrethe arranged for Mary to marry her son so she can reign seeing as how he's a...

That magazine must be the equivalent of the National Enquirer here in the US. If you believe them, QEII has been dying for years, she hates Camilla, and has ''begged'' William to take over the throne. Yeah right. And that's not even mentioning the celebrities who are having their ''sad last...
