    Prince Christian and Princess Isabella, Current Events 2: June 2007 - May 2008

    I can understand that people would think Christiane seemed underdressed for the occassion, especially if all pictures that have been posted shows Christiane merely wearing his blue shirt. But if you look at this thumbnail (and as pointed out by UserDane etc), Christiane was dressed...

    Crown Princess Mary, Current Events 8: March 2007 - March 2008

    Australians nowadays don't connect as much with the British royals, unlike the older generation who did. The result isnt because of Mary's "popularity of late"... IMO Mary was chosen over QEII because she's was once one of "us": she knows and lived the Australian lifestyle, know what it's like...

    Prince Joachim and Marie Cavallier, Current Events 2: May 2007 - May 2008

    I want Marie and Joachim to eventually get engaged, but I hope for a longer courtship - something like Gustav and his fiance perhaps. But if they get engaged soon then that's okay too. I think Marie is good for Joachim. I like that she's very relaxed, very open, and the fact that she blurted...

    Danish Royal Family, Current Events 1: April 2003 - March 2008

    Seeing as it was raining, and their kids were with them out in the rain (with that flimsy umbrella being held by someone else), I can fully understand why M&F didn't stand around in the rain yacking with the journalists... :)

    A Thread about Frederik and Mary's Marriage

    no-one even predicted that Joachim and Alexandra would get divorced, yet we're still convinced that we can tell someone's marriage is on the rocks from seeing a few pics/ photos. Goes to show that people can "put on a good show" and fool everyone, and the difficulty in reading people based on a...

    Prince Christian and Lille Prinsesse, Current Events 1: March 2007 - June 2007

    She's such a cutie!! I think the little princess has blue eyes.... if you look closely at her eyes in this picture (especially the one closest to the pillow) it looks blue... Politiken.dk - det levende net Eye colour can change tho, so she may very well end up with brown eyes.

    A Princess is Born in Denmark!: April 21, 2007

    LOL Re mailing - I didn't know Australia Post has become that strict re packages. Re the little princess - wonder what colour her eyes are. Probably brown like Mary's, but I'm hoping she has her daddy's blue eyes. If so, we might have another blue eyed brown haired stunner like Charlotte of...

    A Princess is Born in Denmark!: April 21, 2007

    We can't really tell if they do or don't get along (in a sense that they dislike each other, and not merely that they're not close chums) or even that the report of Letiia calling Mary is true!. All we have are some pics of them attending each others weddings etc... we don't have much to go on...

    A Princess is Born in Denmark!: April 21, 2007

    Lol ;) . CP Frederik helped with the birth of the princess. He cut the umblical cord. Imagine if he did that whilst wearing a tie or a bow tie. Or if he changed out of what he was wearing so he could look all "royal" in front of the press. Now THAT would give us much more cause for concern...

    What is your opinion of Frederik and Mary

    As we all know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I thought Christian's pic was cute - and it wasn't as if Mary and Fred smeared chocolate over Christian's mouth, Christian did it himself! It was a normal kid doing his thing, and the pic released showed a normal kid enjoying his birthday...

    Crown Princess Mary, Current Events 8: March 2007 - March 2008

    I don't remember Mary saying that. When did she say it?

    Prince Christian's First Day of Nursery School: March 27, 2007

    The Danish system is apparently one of the best, so rest assured they know what they're doing. "Lunch" may not even mean a sandwich, but something more easily digestible, who knows. Some kids have "naps" (siesta's are more of a Latin thing... means the same i suppose) at different times. I...

    Countess Alexandra & Martin Jørgensen, Current Events 1: March 2007 - October 2008

    I thought that Alex got a huge lump sum payment, and she's not really entitled to anything else from Joachim? Apart from the child maintenance Joachim is paying for sons, there is nothing else to demand. And I think the post should have been "I couldn't disagree with you more", since the post...

    Princess Alexandra, Current Events 3: April 2006 - March 2007

    I believe that the decision to give Alex an allowance was influenced heavily by the amount of public appearances she did in the years leading up to the divorce. If the circumstances have changed, then yes, I think the allowance should be reviewed. Why do I think the circumstances have...

    Princess Alexandra, Current Events 3: April 2006 - March 2007

    Perhaps she shouldn't give up all of her allowance then - perhaps she should give up 1/3 of it (to reflect the fact that she's losing 1/3 of her patronages). As for the taxation aspect - that's another matter entirely. She won't be royal anymore after her marriage, therefore she will pay tax...

    Princess Alexandra, Current Events 3: April 2006 - March 2007

    It seems that the patronages she gave up recently are small ones. Does anyone have a complete list of those patronages? We don't know the full story of course, but to me it would seem to be more prudent to announce that she no longer wishes to be given the allowance from the Danish government...

    Princess Alexandra, Current Events 3: April 2006 - March 2007

    That any of the royals have a 100% say in what they do (i.e. what they want always happens) is indeed naive. But that they can't decide "anything" for themselves is also very unlikely. I think for the most part, they have quite a lot of say in what they want to do. E.g. some people were...

    Princess Alexandra, Current Events 3: April 2006 - March 2007

    Alexandra did receive a divorce settlement worth millions (though nowhere near as big as what Diana got), as well as a house of her own choosing. It would also be reasonable to assume that Joachim contributes towards the maintenance of his sons - I imagine this is in Danish law. In addition to...

    Princess Alexandra, Current Events 3: April 2006 - March 2007

    All this "maybe someone's telling her not to work as much because of Mary" sounds like pure nonsense to me. Firstly, Alex not working is really not a good look for the DRF - so why would they tell her to work less? Secondly, if it was because of Mary - then why didn't Alex reduce her duties...

    Prince Christian, Current Events 2: July 2006 - March 2007

    I think you're referring to the Greenlandic traditional costume? It looks like a simple looking white hooded sweatshirt, but I don't think it's supposed to be 'informal'.

    Discussion About Frederik and Mary's Prenuptial Agreement

    <Remarks re Mary's education deleted as per warning/Mandy> (ooopss, I see that this has already been covered by others :) Back to the pre-nup changes, yes I can imagine getting something else in return for the changes. But I think more than anything else, I think the reason she agreed was...

    Princess Alexandra, Current Events 3: April 2006 - March 2007

    Don't you think that Joachim also pays for Nikolai and Felix? I wouldn't be surprised at all if Joachim took on half of the financial responsibility when it come to raising his sons. It would be expecting too much (and giving too much credit) to think that Alexandra pays for all of her sons'...

    Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary, Current Events 5: May - December 2006

    Pffttt... I don't think Mary has to "outproduce" anyone. Why debase life by making the birth of a kid seem like its some sort of competition? Camilla's dress looks exactly like the dress she wore at her own wedding. Which really goes to show: everyone's different. Maxima, Sophia etc have all...

    Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary, Current Events 5: May - December 2006

    If the "guests shouldn't wear white to a wedding" rule is strictly applied to this wedding, then someone should shoot the ushers, who (shock, horror) wore white shirts! I'm kidding of course... Whatever - I don't care that Mary wore white. She wore a funky black top to go with the skirt, and...
