:previous: It will be sad to see her taking such a trip alone. Maybe Joachim and Marie will accompany her.

What a nice picture. And little Miss Independent Josephine riding her own bike! I think F&M are going to have their hands full with that one :tongue:

Nice pictures and article, but: ''...was last seen on January 16 presenting scholarships at the Organization for Heart Conditions on January 11.'' :ermm: Maybe it was a 5 day event. :biggrin:

My mother had Alzheimer's, and everything that has been said here is true. The first few years weren't too bad, we could deal with the occasional quirks. Eventually, she had to be in a nursing home. We were lucky that she kept a pleasant personality; the last year or so, she smiled at...

It's interesting that Prince Daniel should be mentioned. He is going to set a standard for prince consorts in the future. The heirs of Belgium, Spain, The Netherlands, Norway and Japan are all female. Although Japan will have to change their constitution for females to inherit the throne...

Thank you Nordic, Muhler, and Polyesco.:flowers: Tabloids - gotta love 'em!

:previous: Could we have a translation, please? Google translate is no longer my friend.

Denmark: I don't think QMII will abdicate, but I do think she will cut back on her activities, especially now that Henrik has retired. She will probably stay close to home, and let her sons and their wives do the traveling. So we will more of F&M and also J&M.

Thank you for the nice pictures, Roskilde.:flowers: I imagine we'll be seeing more of F & M accompanying the Queen now that Henrik has stepped down. As for the DM - well, at least they spelled Frederik's name right. About the pendant on Mary's necklace, they said it was a diamond, which I...

And Frederik's feathery hat... While checking out royal weddings on Youtube, I came across the video of Margarethe and Henrik's wedding. Her father was wearing an identical hat, which made me wonder if perhaps Frederik's hat originally belonged to his grandfather or is it new? I believe the...

Re Frederik's and Joachim's hats: in the case of Frederik's hat, the feather trim is too big. It would look better if it were scaled back a bit. I wonder what the children thought when he showed them - there may have been some giggles.:tongue: As for Joachim, the plume is very striking, but...

Mary's dress is fabulous, and she looks so happy and relaxed. On another blog, there was a discussion about gala dresses. Apparently, when they are made, extra fabric is ordered, and the dress is made in such a way that it can be reworked. In this case, I think it is the skirt from the Bambi...

Just a few random thoughts: Margarethe has no doubt had 'summit meetings' with her sons about this. Oh, to be a fly on the wall! When QM and PH went to Indonesia last year, I wondered about them taking such a trip at their ages - long plane trip, humid climate (very bad for arthritis) and...

The first thing that comes to mind is health problems. He seems to have trouble getting around, and that affects almost every part of one's life. I also feel sorry for QM. When you have to attend events alone that were always attended as a couple, that's hard. You feel like half of you is...

If memory serves me correctly, the Donaldsons wanted to have a family reunion during Christmas 2014. They weren't able to because the Queen had plans to have all of her family together for a grand Christmas that year. Remember that wonderful picture of the whole family in front of the...

Have the royal family's Christmas cards been published yet?

The historical photos are very interesting, Muhler. Thank you for posting them. I also think there is a physical resemblance between Queen Ingrid and Mary - the high cheekbones, the striking eyes. Speaking of resemblances, in the second video, whoever the baby girl is on the King's lap, I...

If they are traveling with brother John and his family, that's quite a large group. Plus security and nannies/helpers and extra vehicles. I've been on a road trip with two children - I can only imagine what this is like. No doubt a lot of planning went into it, and it's good that they're...

Maybe this trip is Frederik's Christmas gift to Mary: a nice, quiet, and private vacation in her homeland. And a family reunion of more than just a few days. Hope they continue to be left alone.

Sun Lion, I, for one, would love to see a picture of the tree loaded with Swarovski crystals! Muhler, I think the custom of caroling from door to door began in England, but I'm not sure. There are old carols that refer to ''wassailing'' (we've been awhile a-wandering among the leaves so...

Hopefully they will be back in time for the New Year's Courts. All the jewels and uniforms - we would certainly miss Mary and Frederik!:newyear:

Well, I think Mary is a very disciplined person who holds herself to a high standard re her appearance and her royal duties. I've only been following her for the last couple of years, but from the pictures I've seen, I don't get a snobbish vibe at all. If the Danish monarchy ever goes down, it...

Unfortunately I don't have the bandwidth to watch the whole thing without going over my allotted data usage. I have checked out a few scenes here and there, and it was pretty much what I expected. The dialogue is very hard to understand - between the high-pitched voices and the fast talking...

Thank you everyone, for the details and comments. I watched the Daily Mail videos - I'm not cringing, but I am blushing :blush:

All this talk about accuracy, etc. In the trailer, ''QMII'' asks ''Frederik'' if he can trust ''Mary'' not to sell her story. That could very well have happened. Looking forward to details on Monday.
