Crown Prince Frederik, Current Events 1: November 2002 - October 2007

[Jo of Palatine]

From the photos it looks like Fred is wearing a tie in the MacDonald of the Isles tartan.

Do you know by chance if the Donaldsons have a tartan of their own or do belong to another clan? Would that give Prince Frederick as the husband of a Donaldson the right to wear "her" tartan? And does he have as a descendent of the Stuarts a right to wear the Royal Steward tartan?

As MacDonald means son of Donald, Donaldson is the english version of MacDonald. Donaldson doesn't have it's own tartan as such but the bearesr of the name would be able to trace themselves back to the appropriate MacDonald clan and wear that tartan.

Frederick has such a "boyish" look about him. He looks much younger than he is... only the slightly greying gives away his age.

He seems like a very nice and approachable prince. He's got a very pleasant, happy look about him. The photos here are great. Does anyone know if he and princess Mary are headed to Australia soon? Will they stop by Singapore? Has he ever been to Singapore? Frederik and Mary are my favourite royal couple. Hope to get a chance to meet them soon.

 

[PrincessDianafan]

Aslo Frederik looks a lot younger than Joachim, don't you think?

 

[UserDane]

Definitely. He always did; even when they were boys and went to the same schools, Joachim always had a much older look.
Personally, I always had the impression that it was partly because Joachim took himself and his position a bit more 'seriously' than Frederik. Frederik is reputed to very approachable and not stand too much on formality.
​

 

[PrincessDianafan]

Yes, you can tell just by looking at them. Frederik looks like the sort you could joke with whereas Joachim looks a bit aloof. Have you met them?

 

[H.M. Margrethe]

I have met them and i have to say that Frederik is one of the most attractive men i ever have talkede with..On the other hand Joachim is not the moste plessent person to talk with..he walks and talks like he shoud be the next king indsted of Frederik.

No, unfortunately I haven't met him. Just heard that he is nice to be around, from a radio DJ/musician, Alex Nyborg Madsen, amongst others who some years ago did a music broadcast with Frederik. Think Frederik almost turned Nyborg Madsen into a royalist :mrgreen: . As to Joachim, what I have heard about him - and what is sometimes written between the lines in the media - is what H.M. Margrethe says. Nobody can fault his dedication, but he does appear 'self-conscious'.

[PrincessDianafan]

Thanks H.M Margarethe and User Daner,

You're lucky you got to meet him. Did you manage to get some pictures or did protocol prevent that? I've always wanted to go to Denmark to meet the Royals. I write Children's story books and that's another reason I've always wanted to go, it's home to the best story teller ever and I was hoping to be inspired by a visit there. Well, anyway I hope to meet Frederik and Mary one day.

You welcom PrincessDianafan.
No i did not get a pictur with Frederik and me. Not because of protocol but because my uncel. When i met Frederik and Joachim i also met Margrethe their mother and she is also a very nice person to talk with.
I met them because my uncel had the assignment to measure the boat for Henrik and Frederik..at the time the royal family was in my birthtown Aarhus and my uncel was going to measure the boats for a race.
The royal family was at the Dannebro and it was ther i met them..my uncel asked me if i wantede to met them and i said yes.

 

[PrincessDianafan]

You're so lucky. Thanks for sharing your experience. Maybe you'll get to see them again soon.

 

[H.M. Margrethe]

No i don´t think so because now i live in a city callede Odense

I love that web site.
But what I don't like is Frederick's blazer. I'm not sure if it is the color or the cut or both that make it look more like a "lab coat" as opposed to a blazer.
And I wish he would run a brush thru his hair. He always has that "frazzled, frumpy look. To me that is. He looked best alst week in the pictures of the family when he was wearing the shorts and casual shirts.
But dressed up does him no justice.

 

[sirmax]

Maybe that's what he really thinks. Maybe in a way he envy's Frederik because of all the things that goes with the title of King. He was three years-old when his mother became Queen, so maybe he has seen that his brother gets more attention because of his title. Well that's what I think.

Aslo Frederik looks a lot younger than Joachim, don't you think?

Totally! I was just going to make this comment when I read your post. I used to think that Joachim was the older son...hmmm...I guess it's just the little boy face (ahhhh...I'm infatuated! ...) that makes him look younger.

And YES, he is soooooo cute. O.k I'll stop slobbering on this thread!

 

[crisscross1]

I still think he needs a Carsen Kressley make over. He looks like he just got out of bed in the third picture.
