Now it makes sense why the two other women’s magazines here in Australia did not make much fuss about Mary becoming Queen. The February issue of “big sister” publication “The Australian Women’s Weekly” … which only comes out monthly … has been given to the Danish happenings. All three...

Did you see the friends of Mary’s mother got together Izzie … that was a nice thing that got a bit of coverage. Yes, the mags are for those not on the internet CrownPrincessJava, my mother buys them to help with her insomnia. :lol: I’m just surprised it wasn’t bigger for them to put out...

Yes, I have to agree with what you’re saying Curryong. I did a big bit on these magazines when Christian and Chiara were a hot topic. But, seeing how much they both cover the Royals … our Royals … I can’t believe they didn’t mine this for all it’s worth this week. No other Australian is ever...

I think we must have passed peak interest in “our” Mary becoming a Queen down here in Oz, at least for the time being. The two weekly women’s magazines came out today with their Proclamation/Coronation issues, and one didn’t even have a headline about it on their cover, let alone a photo. In...

Tourism Tasmania have taken the opportunity to promote Tassie to both mainlanders and Danes with newspaper ads and a congratulations video … https://mumbrella.com.au/tourism-tasmania-sends-well-wishes-to-denmarks-new-tassie-born-queen-812238

One of the Australian breakfast tv shows has interviewed the designer of Queen Mary’s proclamation event dress …

Daily Mail has live video at the top of this article … (the top video, after a couple of ads)...

Australian breakfast tv show “Today” with an interview with the former manager of the Slip Inn … who was there the night Mary met Frederik … Australian tv channel 10 with a live cross to Copenhagen … Australia’s ABC tv reporting from Copenhagen … Australian tv channel 7, on the...

Sorry for your disappointment Tarlita. “The Mercury”, Hobart’s paper, is running a story about the guy who missed Mary when she knocked on the door of her childhood home just before her wedding. He has lived there more than twenty years now and “coped” with his disappointment by throwing a...

Vogue Australia says they will be doing rolling coverage Dantheman, but they also say keep your eyes peeled for William and Kate to be there! :eek:… so I don’t know how good it will be. Sounds like some are getting carried away a bit. Did you see the calls to dump Australia Day, but put up a...

I think I had my insomnia the wrong night … last night. I will have to catch up after. Have a wonderful night. It’s a very small table Izzie … I posted a photo upthread … but Huon Pine is a very unique wood, so I’m not surprised this was the choice. Tasmania has many fine native woods that...

Here Tarlita … Sky is doing live coverage if you don’t have to get up for work the next day. https://tvtonight.com.au/2024/01/queen-mary-coronation-on-sky-news.html

Not rules Iluvbertie, manners.

“People” now has an article Tatiana Maria that quotes the official Palace announcement regarding when Frederik was first informed that he was to become King. Seventy two hours notice. And Ms Balleby declined to say when the court officials, or Denmark’s Prime Minister, were informed. But she...

You’ve got it CrownPrincessJava. Even the Danish Ambassador doesn’t seem too worked up about it … taking a flight back to Canberra to host something instead of crossing Bass Strait by ship. A few hours in the air versus a full day … or full night … at sea. Then hours of driving up to the ACT...

Australia isn’t focusing on other royals Izzie … more likely focussing on the tennis. But the Danish Ambassador has been on breakfast tv today and said you can go online and sign a Book of Congratulations. She, the Ambassador, will actually miss it and have to catch up later. She’ll be at...

Here’s some Aussie etiquette that Zara and Mike missed. Don’t pile your gear up on the picnic table while you take a swim. Put it on the grass and let the ants crawl on it. Put it on the sand and let it get gritty. You can see the brick BBQ in the background in one of the photos. Leave the...

Don’t worry CrownPrincessJava … it was about thirty seconds of the evening bulletin. And I had to disappointment my mainland friend a few days ago … she asked if we were all getting excited down here … and, well, no. No-one is talking about it in the family groups and occasions I’ve been at...

Cute. The Slipp Inn is putting on a Danish menu for the rest of January and putting up Danish decorations, including daisies. There will be a couple of thrones for people to photograph themselves sitting on, and a special cocktail to be callled “There’s Something About Mary”. And busloads of...

A “nice gift” indeed Curryong. More fuel for that to keep burning along. And why can’t it be true … the information that the Royal family members were only told a couple of days before the nation … those posters upthread finding this hard to believe. Why would the Palace lie … and use poor Ms...

Thanks JR76 … good to have an official announcement on this. Having read that Prince Joachim was informed of his mother’s abdication by a friend, this at least comes off a bit better. I believe the short notice … whether decided so quickly or just the Queen keeping her cards close to her chest...

The Australian women’s magazines have been able to catch up with the news of our Mary about to become a Queen only today. (Last week’s issues came out early due to the Christmas/New Year break in publication, and this is the first time they have been able to cover this.) Both “New Idea” and...

And Australia is a big country … not that big a population … but even little Tasmania is bigger than Denmark. Between Christmas and school going back there is a lot going on. No-one even pays that much attention to our own Royalty. I just had the tv on … breakfast time here … and the news had...

Here is a photo of Mary in her “flannie” … her flannelette shirt … Toledo. (Scroll down a bit, Mary standing between two guys, holding a can of drink, black and white.). I don’t think the Murdoch press had anything to do with the local coverage here in Tasmania yesterday, or that there will be...

Well Toledo, the 4pm tv news covered it, but not until forty minutes into the bulletin … after everything else, including the sport. And that is here in Tasmania. But the report was more about Mary than about Queen Margrethe or Frederik, so I suppose there is that.
