i so agree royaltywatcher, too many of his clothes don't fit correctly.
linneatherose said:I notice that about Frederick too, but I think he's just in positions that pull the buttons in a lot of photos. If he wore his jackets much larger, we'd say they were too big! Haha! And yes, they do look amazing. They'd better with as much as they're spending. Any ugly clothes should be considered a CRIME against the people!!!
royaltywatcher said:Why can't Frederick wear a jacket that fits? There is always that triangle of shirt showing up below his button.
eek. i disagree. i think the English royals have the least sense of fashion. Sometimes they look positively clownish!!qui mal y pense said:Mary looks great in that color, but I wish she would wear more vivid colors so she stood out more in a crowd. That is one thing the English royals know.
Charles pays income tax on his earnings, as far as I know the Danish Royal couple do not.Margrethe II said:I think many dont look at the whole picture...
These people aren't your everyday indaviduals...they hold an office that is to represent Denmark and one day, shall represent the highest & most revered office in the land.
Some say its too extravegant to spend I million K a year on personal expenses. Given their role I dont think its that much at all. I would place a very big bet that Charles would spend much more than that yet he doesn't get chastized for it here, does he?
It would be interesting, but slightly pointless. The various monarchies are all different and some are wealthier than others.Margrethe II said:I would very much love to see how Mary & Frederik's costs of expenses compare to those of their counterparts, and if by chance they have spent more than some, I am confident they have their reasons for it. Who are we to judge what other's spend their personal allocated income on?
Oprah Winfrey earned her money herself, as do the vast majoirty of celebrities. It is hers to spend as she chooses.Margrethe II said:Any how, if the tabloids are at all "accurate", I think it better to have spent 1 million K in a year than $US 1 million in a month like Miss Oprah Winfrey. But I guess that's just one of the many difference's between royal's and celebrities.

I'm a Danish taxpayer and as far as I am concerned I consider the petty claims that they should be held 'accountable' for just ...petty. The royal family get an alotted amount from the Danish state/taxpayers to be divided amongst the individual members of the family. That amount is - IMO - so ridiculously small compared with the amounts that are spent - a lot misspent - elsewhere in our society that I cannot lower myself to complain about it - considering the PR the country get for that money all the whining about the 'poor Danish taxpayers' is just so misplaced.Little_star said:Fred and Mary on the other hand receive their income from the Danish taxpayer so should be expected to be accountable to the people.
