I can understand why Margrethe would be ready to have her son and daughter-in-law take over this role. Hope that they can enjoy the place for many years to come.The DRF's communication chef Lene Balleby confirms in a Danish magazine out today that our Crown Prince Family will move into Gråsten Castle most of July month and will take over the summer tradition in Gråsten after Grandmother 'Mormor' Ingrid. Margrethe and Henrik are in Greenland the whole July until the 24th, so maybe it's also Frederik and Mary and children who will be the hosts for the annual gathering at Gråsten in late July?
If it's all are correct it's lovely and right in Frederik's grandmother Ingrid's spirit
With Gråsten as their summer base the CP-family has good opportunity to take off some days or weeks to Trend, Blokhus, Skagen etc. and to their close friends in Jutland.
The magazine also mentions that Margrethe already in 2004 said she hoped that Frederik and Mary and their children in a few years would take over Gråsten.
I wait to be absolutely sure before Billedbladet (or more trustworthy media also confirms it) though.
Im sure Frederik has very fond memories of Gråsten Manor.
And Mary and the kids seem to enjoy it to, this is where we have seen Frederik and Mary horseback riding right?
I think they enjoy Trend too but Gråsten Manor, might offer more options. And a nice touch to this part of DK.
Thats really nice that they can spend their summer there.
Do they drive there? Isn't it about 3 hours drive?
I guess the Royal Lifeguard will post sentries at Gråsten when M&F are in residence.
So this year it may be M&F and their children who will stand on the stairs at the changing of the guards on is is Wednesdays?
Or perhaps that's a privilege only for the Monarch?
Picturedesk has 54 great photos of CP Frederik, CPss Mary, Prince Christian, Princess Isabella's godmother Malou Skeel and her husband and son at the Vesterhavet beach - North Jutland on 9 July 2007 .
