    Queen Máxima, Current Events Part 1 (May 2013 - October 2017)

    Hello! I'm hoping for some help. In this video, Maxima is visiting a home for young mothers, I believe. She's so sweet with one of the moms. Can someone help translate what she's saying in the video after the 2:35 time mark? They seem to be having a cute conversation. I'd love to know what...

    Danish Royal Family Christmas: 2003, 2004, 2006-2014, 2016-2023

    Oh thank you for posting the link to the DRW. I had been to the site recently and had totally missed that they have video links!

    Which Royals Are Good Friends?

    Letizia and Maxima are friends. I saw videos of them having a great time speaking with each other at the Danish wedding (both before and after the ceremony) and poor W-A looked very lost amidst all that Spanish-speaking!

    Danish Royal Family Christmas: 2003, 2004, 2006-2014, 2016-2023

    I have been waiting for WEEKS for these cute pictures. I love seeing families together for the holidays. Poor little Prince Christian has a boo-boo on his forehead though! :(

    Cute royal kids

    Princess Aiko and little Emma van Vollenhoven of The Netherlands are so sweet looking. And I just want to take Prince Christian home with me - such a surprise when one considers how he first looked (a tad sickly and jaundiced).

    Royal Voices & Accents

    Mostly I hear them and they fit the person's picture, but there are a few exceptions: Letizia looks like such a small person (in comparison with her husband), so I didn't expect her to have such a strong voice. Maxima has a VERY deep voice, but it's still pretty. Alexia of Greece also has a...

    It's a Girl for Pieter-Christiaan & Anita - Emma Francisca Catharina: Nov. 28, 2006

    Poor Anita should have demanded they use a better picture! She looks unprepared and a bit scared in this picture. Little Emma looks so sweet though.

    Princess Máxima, Current Events 3 (October 2006 - April 2007)

    Blech!:yuk: I really dislike that coat. It looks like drapery (sp?).

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

    I thought Greenland wasn't a part of Denmark in any way these days. Total independence no? I do like how the family frequently visits though, for tradition's sake.

    Divorce rumours for Princess Masako ?

    I wish people would leave speculation about their little family alone. Just because a person is sick, that doesn't mean their family is destined for ruin!

    It's a Girl for Pieter-Christiaan & Anita - Emma Francisca Catharina: Nov. 28, 2006

    Hey, at least we know they've planned SOMETHING and we won't have to wait until some tasteless photographer sneaks one of the poor girl. Can't wait for their photoshoot! I bet she's a cutie!

    The Prince Claus Awards (2003-2019)

    I'm baaaaack! :) I liked Maxima's outfit. It's a pretty brown/goldish colour and I like the bit of shine in it.

    Queen Margrethe II and Prince Henrik, Current Events 1: May 2003 - November 2006

    In response to an earlier post: QMII can't do what QBeatrix did because the stakes are much higher. The incident in The Netherlands was relatively isolated in terms of international involvement. Denmark is now dealing with every other nation on earth either supporting it, or demanding its...

    Queen Margrethe II and Prince Henrik, Current Events 1: May 2003 - November 2006

    "Bin Laden our beloved, Denmark must be blown up," protesters in Ramallah chanted. An imam at the Omari Mosque in Gaza City told 9,000 worshippers that those behind them should have their heads cut off. "If they want a war of religions, we are ready," Hassan Sharaf, an imam in Nablus, said in...

    Queen Margrethe II and Prince Henrik, Current Events 1: May 2003 - November 2006

    I hope QMII kind of disappears from sight for a while. I've been reading reports of radical Muslims demanding the death of anyone involved (and as the primary figure in Denmark, she'd be an obvious target). I doubt anyone would go that far, but it's best to be safe. Tensions are so high right...

    Who is the most hardworking royal sibling?

    Prince Friso. HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA. ;)

    Queen Margrethe II and Prince Henrik, Current Events 1: May 2003 - November 2006

    Queen Margrethe has no position in the fight with the Muslim protestors. The newspaper that published the offensive materials has the freedom of the press, and therefore the government is not responsible for anything they do. It's difficult for many in the Muslim world to understand that...

    Which Country Could Next Abolish Their Monarchy?

    I can't say which one might, but I know that England, The Netherlands, and Denmark certainly don't have anything to worry about. Both English and Danish royals enjoy a LONG history, and their respective publics see their monarchies as a needed entity (think what tourism in England would be like...

    The Royal Family of The Netherlands, Current Events 1 (June 2003 - May 2006)

    Can you find a picture (if it's not too much trouble)? I never can find the good ones like other members can!

    Marie-Chantal's relationship with her Royal In-Laws

    Of COURSE she can do charity work. There is the Queen Anna Maria Foundation to help disaster victims in Greece. Just because they aren't actually in Greece doesn't mean they can't do a lot of work for it. They insist on using the titles, so they should at least help back it up a little. I...

    Royals Rooting For Their Teams

    Some Danish posters should get on here because there were a TON of great photos from the last olympics with the Queen, CP Frederik, CP Mary, and even Henrik and Joachim I believe. They really went nuts for the gold-medal-winning Danish team (I believe it was in women's handball).

    Christening of Prince Christian: January 21, 2006

    Danish. And Infanta Leonor is only the heiress so long as she is the only child of the Crown Prince of Spain. If they have a son (and they are certainly planning on having more children), then he will be the heir and not Leonor. I think it's sad, but it's Spain's business. This is probably...

    Emotional Royals

    She did too cry at her mother's funeral! She was wearing a black covering over her face, so it was difficult for photographers to see (which I'm sure was the point). I saw a video and it was obvious that Queen Margrethe was crying over the loss of her mother, Queen Ingrid. I also read an...

    Christening of Prince Christian: January 21, 2006

    Little Prince Christian certainly looks cuter these days. I was worried for a little while, but now that he's filled out I see that he's precious!!! He was so alert, looking around and interacting with mommy. :) (I LOVED the picture of Mary looking down at him and him raising his hand to...
