Thank you, Muhler. That makes perfect sense. Now I'm off to church!

Slighty off topic: does anyone know what sort of fabric (or possibly leather) the parkas worn by the Greenlandic men are made of? I googled 'Greenland national costumes' but couldn't find the answer. One article did mention that the men's clothes needed to be light, but waterproof. That's...

I have a few things in common with Queen Margrethe II. We are both in our 7th decade. We both have osteoarthritis (ouch)! We both have two sons, no daughters, and the resulting gray hairs to show for it. :lol: And finally, both of us are Lutherans!

Lovely pictures. I wonder if we'll see one of them as the family Christmas card. Josephine looks so cute in Isabella's sweater; and she got flowers, too. I think it's good that Mary allows her children to wear recycled clothing. Even royalty needs to be practical.

Lovely pictures, although everyone looks quite warm. You can tell the children have been in the sun a lot lately - Vincent's hair is blonder than usual. Weren't Count Richard and Nikolai the little pageboys at Frederik and Mary's wedding? Time flies! Looks like Frederik took a holiday from...

Is Joachim wearing a camoflage print tuxedo jacket? :ohmy: Oh my goodness. He has obviously inherited his father's flair for fashion. Makes Frederik's red pants look tame by comparison!

I can't understand why some women are worried about crows feet. Crows feet are beautiful. - In fact I'm more worried about people age 40+ who haven't got at least a clear visibly hint of crows feet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How nice of...

The white dog sniffing to QMII is a visitor-dog (don't know the English name) the kind of dogs that is used to visited retirement homes. Petting them stimulates not least those suffering from dementia, senillity and Alzheimers - and people in general...

It's so great that CP Mary brings attention to this important cause. One of our former First Ladies also promoted it. :flowers: Reading to and with your children is one of the best things you can do as a parent, and the rewards are so many. One of my sons is now a reference librarian and the...

Wow - that's what I call dedication. Day and night, but it looks like the weather was good. How long are the nights in Denmark right now?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do Joachim's children have he same degree of protection as Frederik's? Will a bodyguard accompany Nikolai to boarding school?

Nice pictures - lovely families. Makes me wish I had grandchildren! And how nice to see Nikolai helping his grandmother (Farmor?) down the stairs. I'm sure she appreciated that.:flowers:

Thank you so much for translating the interview, Muhler. It's good of you to keep those of us outside of Denmark informed about what's in the print media. One of the things that comes across in the interview is that Frederik and Joachim have a relaxed and close relationship. The Queen and...

This may not be the proper thread to post this, but I have a question: with the news today of Juan Carlos' pending abdication, do any of you think there will be more among the 'older' generation of royals? Personally, I'm not too sure. I think if QEII were going to abdicate, she would have...

Christian is taking on more of Frederik's mannerisms. Everyone looks nice, even though Frederik's tie is crooked. Gotta give him credit for tying it himself, though.

I'm sorry about the post I sent yesterday. I'm glad to see that the majority of Danes have a favorable opinion of the royal family. The only other online group I belong to is a list of Anglican musicians - we're not too controversial :smile:

Sorry - I didn't mean to annoy anyone, certainly not Muhler, whose posts I always enjoy. I was just remembering the feelings I sometimes had. (today is Memorial Day in the US) Europeans have a different view of these things, and Americans can seem ''prudish'' by comparison. Now I'm off...

Like Mary herself said years ago: "Married but not joined by the hip" My late husband and I had that kind of marriage, too. We had our separate interests, and it sometimes caused problems. At the end of the day, you have to ask yourself ''am I better off with this person or without?''...

Love all of the new pictures, especially the ones of the children. Vincent IS adorable, but I think that beneath that sweet innocent face, there is a mischievous nature. I'm the mother of sons, and I know that look! Midwest Mom

What a nice picture - and I love Josephine's facial expressions!

Mary's school event got much more coverage than Frederik's event on the same day. I wonder why. Is she really that much more popular than he?

Some of those pictures are on the FrederiketMary blog. I think they are from King Harald's 70th birthday celebrations. Also in that series is a picture of Queen Maxima dancing with Prince Henrik. She is in an advanced stage of pregnancy, and they are both having a good laugh. I really like...

What's funny about this picture is that the former U.S. President, George H. W. Bush and his daughter are being completely ignored. I remember seeing a picture (on YouTube?) that shows the two men shaking hands, so they were acknowledged.

Hello, I'm new to the Royal forums. I have always been interested in the British royal family, but I ''discovered'' the Danes and other European royal families about a year ago when I was checking out royal weddings on YouTube. I'm a church organist, so I'm interested in the music and the...
