I'm sure it would be appreciated greatly if someone is able to provide a summary of the article. Is it an interview with Queen Anne-Marie?
this is a rough translation:
she became at the age of 18 the youngest and most beautiful queen in greece. 40 years later she is pictured in london with 4 of her 6 grandchildren and she gives us a rare confession. they were expecting a boy. but again they got a girl. the third. It is said that their neighbour in Holland, prins bernhard sent the following telegram: we have 3 too. the 3rd daughter of frederik and ingrid was born at the palace of amalienborg august 31, 1946. her grandfather was the king of denmark, her father the crownprince and her mother a granddaughter of the queen of sweden.
royal life was simple, without protocol and without a wild cosmopolitan life.
the girls grew up in a very protected environment. "they are like all the children: noisy, curious, sometimes naughty but they are always my darlings frederik is reported to have said.
AM stood out by her very sweet nature. she loves classical music and has a talent for art. she went to school until she was 16 and then went to austria to learne english. At that time she met her 2nd (3rd? faraway) cousin, crownprince constantine. a thunderbolt went through them when they met. she is the most beautiful girl I have seen in my life constantine is reported to have said.
AM does not comment/remains silent when he says this.
