    Frederik, Mary and Family on Summer Holidays: 2005-2008, 2012-2024

    Well suztav, strike off a sailing holiday aboard their friend’s yacht “ Miss Silver”. That is still berthed at La Ciotat in the South of France. Also, I don’t think they are at Chateau de Cayx, as there are photos coming out of Prince Joachim’s four children celebrating one of their birthdays...

    Frederik, Mary and Family on Summer Holidays: 2005-2008, 2012-2024

    Yes Archduchess Zelia and ricarda, not Australia, it’s winter down here. Apologies if my post upthread was confusing … a lot of the photos on the website I linked were taken in Sydney, but the yacht has been in the Northern Hemisphere for a while now … at the Monaco Boat Show etc. But, I...

    Frederik, Mary and Family on Summer Holidays: 2005-2008, 2012-2024

    Will the family have a holiday outside of Denmark before summer is over? Last July they had time aboard Chris Meehan’s yacht “Miss Silver” in Ibiza. (They stayed at Mr Meehan’s newest development in Queenstown in New Zealand in December, and stayed at his house “Gaelforce” at Palm Beach the...

    Crown Prince Christian, News and Current Events Part 1: January 2024 -

    So Christian is in Tisvilde too, at the music festival that Isabella has been photographed at … music i lejet. The reality star thought perhaps Christian didn’t actually know who he was … do I have that right. Anyway, a nice photo of the Crown Prince...

    The Plantagenets (1154-1399)

    Yes, I had a few weeks following up on all these historic figures after watching the film. (I watched it a few weeks before posting about it, watched it a few times actually.) After following the family trees on the internet … and what a lot of other interesting people were ancestors and...

    The Plantagenets (1154-1399)

    The sharp script. When I recently saw it again as an adult An Ard Ri … well I couldn’t get over how well-written it was, such cleverness in revealing the complexity of the characters Then the performances given by the actors, so in command of what they were doing. Everyone was top of their game...

    Videos and Links to Russian/Romanov websites

    I know there are many videos available, but this one about the children … based on first hand accounts … touched my heart.

    The Plantagenets (1154-1399)

    I’ve been watching … savouring really … the 1968 movie “The Lion in Winter” across several nights. It popped up on one of the catch-up free-to-air tv channels here in Australia recently. I first saw it decades ago, but was too young to appreciate what a spectacularly clever script it has...

    King Juan Carlos - Fiscal Investigations, Inheritance and Exile : 2018-2022

    The one I saw last night Marengo was titled “Juan Carlos The Downfall of the King”. It was made by Sky and distributed by NBC. Four parts, and the version I saw had English sub-titles by our Australian tv station SBS. Each episode finished with a note that all interviews … there are a lot...

    King Juan Carlos - Fiscal Investigations, Inheritance and Exile : 2018-2022

    Thanks lula. Although I don’t follow the Spanish Royal family I did find this four-part documentary riverting. No-one comes out of it well. Even poor Prince Albert of Monaco … having known Corinna Larsen since she was seventeen, and then not responding when she reached out to him because...

    King Juan Carlos - Fiscal Investigations, Inheritance and Exile : 2018-2022

    It struck me how Sofia was described to “ have already lost” by the time she returned. The facade presented versus the reality too, like when she visited the hospital, but did not actually see the King, and only spoke with hospital staff before coming out again and speaking to the press. But...

    King Juan Carlos - Fiscal Investigations, Inheritance and Exile : 2018-2022

    I found so many things in it surprising An Ard Ri … such a different world to what most people would consider “normal”.

    King Juan Carlos - Fiscal Investigations, Inheritance and Exile : 2018-2022

    I have just watched the documentary “Juan Carlos The Downfall of the King” … a four part series … on Australian tv. I found it fascinating. I watched all four episodes straight through. Too much detail to share here, and most of it from Corinna Larsen herself, so her side of things of course …...

    Buckingham Palace 2: Sep. 2022 -

    Yes, I was amazed they took it all down off the walls and then put it back An Ard Ri. Truly masters at their jobs. And also that so many aspects of the decor were originally in the Brighton Pavillion. It would be wonderful to see inside this part of the Palace, as we are all so familiar with...

    Buckingham Palace 2: Sep. 2022 -

    A really lovely Australian tv channel 7 report, with some wonderful footage, of the newly restored East Wing of Buckingham Palace … the part of the building that lies behind the famous front facade … that is now to be open to the public.

    Queen Mary's Daytime Fashion Part 1: January 2024 -

    Yes, the same hat Duke of Marmalade. The company has added some photos of Mary from the official welcome to Grasten to their Instagram Account now. They have several photos posted of her wearing this, or the other one she has, on different occasions. Mary wore this in the Ayrburn photos when...

    Introductory/State Visits to Sweden, Norway, Faroe Islands, Greenland, Germany: 2024, 2025

    I assume so EML, even though they have sometimes added a mini private holiday onto the end of an official visit … Mexico and Australia for example. The Greenland Government Facebook Account says the tour is over, and also that Vincent and Josephine only participated from Aasiaat to Nuuk. I...

    General Questions and Information about the Danish Royal Family

    Gyles Brandreth has written a new book and quotes Queen Margrethe in it … … When I visited the Queen of Denmark at her palace in Copenhagen, she said to me: 'Being Queen involves a lot of repetition — the same ceremonies, the same functions, the same routine. Sometimes you think: 'Here we go...

    The fabric of Mary’s dress is so beautiful, especially in the sunlight. I hope she wears this more, and often. https://www.billedbladet.dk/kongelige/danmark/se-billederne-kong-frederik-og-dronning-mary-ankommer-med-stil-til-festmiddag-i

    Danish and Swedish Royal Jewels, “The Royal Jewels, Episode 1”.

    That sounds awful JR76. I did find your Queen … yes it’s an old documentary … so charming when she was talking, and what an interesting background she has.
