OK - I have seen that, but I thought it was called paddleboarding. In any case, thanks for the explanation.

Muhler, would you please explain 'waterboarding?' As an American, the only waterboarding I know about is a controversial interrogation method used on prisoners. I'm sure it has a different meaning in Denmark.

Thanks to all who posted pictures of the golf tournament. I see Frederik has a female caddy. It also looks as if he may have lost some weight during his illness, but he has a good color. I wonder if he will continue to train for the Swedish Classic - he said he would when he returned from his...

There is a vaccine against pneumonia which is good for 5 years. I received the vaccine, but 2 years later, I got pneumonia. I was hospitalized for 3 days, but tired easily for weeks after that. Apparently it's not effective against all types of pneumonia.

Oh dear, I can see the headlines now: ''Princess Mary parties, leaves sick husband at home.'' They no doubt worked it out between themselves, and kept in close touch. Pneumonia can sneak up on you, and even when the lungs clear, you can tire easily for some time. Get well soon, Frederik...

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there now synthetic fur that is almost indistinguishable from the real thing? If so, Mary could be wearing 'fake fur' in some of those photos. Also, in the photos from Greenland where she's visiting the handicapped children, I thought that was a...

The outfit that Mary wore to the Designer's Nest awards looked a familiar to me - and I was right. It has been seen before, but on another woman. If you go to the thread about last year's visit to Canada, post # 52, there is a link to Getty images. (I don't know how to post pictures) One of...

Love Christian's hat and sunnies! As for the little 'mystery girl', maybe it's one of the Handwerk daughters. Over on the NEW MY ROYALS blog, there's some snarking about Mary having a vacation - she wants more publicity, crashing the SRF vacation, not taking care of her injured daughter, etc...

On the frederiketmary blog, and also on the Crown Princess Mary Unofficial Message Board, there are pictures of Frederik at the IOC meeting. In one of the pics, it sort of looks like Frederik is wearing reading glasses. Hard to tell, though. If so, welcome to the club, Frederik!

Thank you, Marika86. Looks like Mary is indulging in some retail therapy with a girlfriend while Frederik is away. ;)

:previous: The Google translate link does not work for me. Is she with Letizia and Felipe? Their names were mentioned in the article.

As usual, a nice photo session. These are the gardens designed by Queen Ingrid? They are very lush and green. QM and PH look refreshed and relaxed after their Greenland trip, although the dampness probably aggravated her osteoarthritis. Support is never far away, though. Alexandra &...

:previous: I wondered how they would manage such a long trip at their age and condition. Having mobility issues of my own, I can relate. When you can't walk 'normally' you tire more easily. They deserve a nice long rest when they get home!

Thank you everyone for the link to all the wonderful pictures. Frederik is obviously very proud of his family. Since Mary and the children were the ones showered with flowers, he seemed content to hold back a little and let them shine. That's one of the things I like about Frederik - it's not...

Oh, poor Josephine - broken bones hurt, but children heal quickly. Hope she isn't in too much pain. :flowers: Didn't Cousin Felix break his arm recently, too? In scrolling down the HerogNu page, there's something about TV2 dropping the film about Frederik. Does that mean it will not be...

They're hunting? And not wearing neckties? An open-necked shirt on Joachim? I'm shocked!! Shocked, I tell you :ohmy: What is the world coming to? But it's nice that someone gave PH a comfortable seat.

Christian does seem to be responsible, and not too shy. He'll be a good role model for his siblings. Isabella - I can see her becoming a ballerina. As for the twins, Vincent does seem like a gentle soul. Remember in Greenland, he picked flowers for his mother? Maybe Muhler is right, and...

:previous: I can give you an overview, and if other Americans want to chime in, please do. Also, if the mods want to move this to another thread, I understand. On July 4, 1776, the document known as the Declaration of Independence was signed by representatives of the original 13 colonies. It...

Thank you for posting that lovely video, Muhler. In the US, fireworks are the mode of celebration for holidays, especially patriotic ones. Our big one is coming up on July 4, Independence Day. For three years, I have lived at the edge of a small town, and every year someone in the area shoots...

Thank you, Muhler, for your explanations of the Danish political process. I am so intrigued by the fact that the campaign only lasted three weeks. Here in the US, we are being subjected to a campaign that has started 18 months before the actual election - and many. many candidates! I really...

How is security handled for an event like this? Do the bodyguards follow on bikes for the entire race, or do they 'trade off' occasionally? I think they would have to be pretty fit to be part of Frederik's security team.

Hello Miss Byrd and xenobia - nice to hear from other musicians. We could probably have our own thread about weddings and music, since we approach them from a different point of view. And depending on how the church is configured, we often have a close up and personal view of the ceremony...

As a church organist, I have played for more weddings than I care to remember! And I have had to deal with some unusual requests. My policy is always to let the officiating clergy have the last word, so if the clergy approved, I went along with it, sometimes reluctantly. If the tradition in...

I've been sneaking peeks at the livestream of the Swedish royal wedding. Very nice, lots of tiaras, sparkles, etc. The bride looks lovely, and there seems to be a lot of emotion. The music (except for the hymns) that I've heard so far leaves a lot to be desired. It's a church service...

:previous: Dogs age at the rate of 7 years vs. 1 year for a human. 1 human year=7 dog years. So Ziggy would be 77 in human years. She does seem to be quite energetic in spite of her 'advanced' age. Border collies are a high-energy breed and I'm sure she's had plenty of exercise and the best...
