My Favorite Royal!!! Such an elegant Woman!!! IMHO, of the three sisters, she has always been the prettiest, not Anne Marie. Also, she is such support to her sister, Her Majesty, Queen Margrethe, as well as Denmark.

Does she also support alot of German Functions/Causes as she does for Denmark?

 

[Stig Buelow]

You are totally right, Princess Benedikte is a very elegant and bautiful lady, im a big fan of her and have collected pictures , clippings, magasines and books and recordede programs about her on danish TV for years, she is absolutely my favorite in the royal danish family, however I think crownprincess Mary is fantastic too.

Benedikte does a lot of work for denmark, she does not support many german causes, but she is the patron of the spastics in her hometown Berleburg as well as in Denmark, where she is a patron for a lot of other causes. When she is working in Germany its mainly for Danish courses like, opening of danish exhebitions, danish weeks, and other events which promotes Denmark in Germany. she is travelling a lot abroad to participate in all kind of events/causes to support her country and the charities she is involved in, and she is doing a wonderful job. If you do have questions about her , I have a rather big knowledge , and will allways try to answer if I can.

How is Prince Richard? Hopefully, his health is alright. I read on Netty's board, that Princess Nathalie has returned to Berleburg, as has Prince Gustav. Where does Princess Alexandra and her family reside? Are they still in France?

 

[paulette]

I think up to the present Princess Alexandra is in France with her family. I think she has a job related to one of the branches of UN.

does someone new something about Benediktes husband?
I haven't seen him since month.

 

[Jamerican]

The Princess has a new website:

http://www.hrhbenedikte.com/

I like the layout.

This website seems not to be connected to her fuctions with the Danish royal agenda but for the International Equestrian Federation.

I'm surprised that Princess Benedikte has to campaign like this for the presidency. I would think the organization would think it an advantage and a privilege to have a Princess of Denmark representing them.

 

[Jamerican]

I wonder who else is in the running.

I don't know much about horses, but I love the fact that she has invited comments. There are a few comments posted, one of them quite insightful.

 

[Genevieve]

I wonder who else is in the running.

Princess Haya of Jordan was either former president or a candidate is as much as I know. I wonder if other royal equestrians are part of this organization? Like Norway's Martha Louise or Zara Philips or Spain's Elena? Or Benedike's daughter Nathalie?

I agree.

I find it slightly out of place to run for a precidency, even if it's a horse association.

Either they want her or they don't.

Does the other 2 children of Benedikte, Gustav and Alexandra, ride as well as Prince Richard?

I was expecting Princess Benedikte to attend King Gustav's birthday party. Was she not invited?

 

[Alisa]

She was invited, but the event coincided with her bid Presidency of the Federation for Equestrian sport.

 

[princess olga]

She was invited, but the event coincided with her bid Presidency of the Federation for Equestrian sport.

which she ultimately lost. To miss the birthday party of a king she must know well personally of course, this equstrian club & the election must have meant a great deal to her. All the more insulting that she had to compete for the title, only to lose the election. I agree with other posters on this: either the horse association should have asked her to be the prez., or she should have refused to participate altogether.

Princess Benedikte is currently attending the World Equestrian Games in Aachen, Germany, were her daughter Nathalie is participating in the dressage competitions (read more in her thread here). Here is a picture of her in the area of the games, and tonight she will present the gold medal to the winner of the Grand Prix.

Other than the appearance of Royal Photos, does anyone know how close Princess Benedikte is with Carina, her son's girlfriend? Was she close to Elvire, his prior fiance?
