Thank you for your comments and insights about this somewhat provocative article Controversy is wonderful, it gets people talking about subjects that might otherwise be taken for granted. What delights me is the respect given by the writer (whose name I have already forgotten) to Queen Margrethe's artistic, literary and academic interests! He appreciates the Queen's intellectual abilities and gives a thumbs down to what he perceives as the celebrity-like fashion and family sense of the crown princely couple. Bearing in mind that there is rarely smoke without some fire, it seems to me that the pr guru's in the Crown princely household might want to encourage the crown princess to take painting lessons! Who knows, a butterfly might emerge from the new apartments at Amalienborg! (Strangely, I could find no artistic/creative smileys!)
Yeah, he strikes me as a bit of a Kystbane socialist = something like: posh neighbourhood-socialist.
You know, the type who is a communist because it's fashionable and provocative and it's so picturesque to visit workingclasse neighbourhoods. But heaven forbid you rub shoulders with the common riff raff at your cafe, while you and your mates discuss Karl Marx. - There were quite a few of those around in the 70's.
Tarlita is spot on.
Alas, neither Frederik nor Joachim have by their own admission inherited their parent's talents. Don't know about Mary and Marie though.
But since they have produced (soon) eight children among themselves, with a little bit of luck one or two of them may turn out to become artists. (They have to start somewhere, right?)
