:previous: No. They won't be confirmed until spring 2025 at soonest but more likely spring 2026. The Dagmar-cross is also a common christening gift for girls. And perhaps more relevant, it's a very popular piece of jewellery among Danish teenage girls these days. It has gotten a revival somehow.

I've completely missed that the name of the little Princess has been revealed. I love the name Mafalda! Hadn't seen that coming at all (was a bit worried she'd get a bit of a clunky honour-name like her brother). I wish we knew if she and her brother had any other names that G&C just haven't...

Indeed. It's one of Mary's Zimmermann dresses. Josephine is also wearing one of Mary's dresses – a Paul & Joe dress she wore last in 2018.

Isabella wearing one of Mary's Zimmermann dresses and Josephine in Mary's Paul & Joe dress, I believe 😊 And QMII, very symbolic, in the same dress she wore at the balcony for Frederik's 50th birthday! ETA: This picture of QMII and Frederik is just wonderful! QMII positively beaming with pride.

Mary's choice of tiara made perfect sense. The Ruby Parure came into the DRF through Lovisa of Sweden and on top of that, the set was Ingrid of Sweden's signature piece. Likewise, it was no coincidence that Victoria wore the Connaught Tiara – commissioned for her and Frederik's shared...

Oh boy... you'd think an institution like the DRF would avoid a pitfall as obvious as the Streisand Effect 🤦‍♀️ But then you remember how shoddy the DRF's communications department is and it makes sense again.

It is simply nonsensical to assume that a resident of a country must agree with all the politics of said country. Gustav is a German citizen. Are we speculating he feels uneasy about using a surrogate as well? Besides, while surrogacy within Germany indeed is illegal, there's absolutely nothing...

Gustav Albrecht's birth was also officially announced by the DRF while this time around, it seems like Billed Bladet inquired and Gustav and Carina's spokesperson confirmed. Maybe they haven't picked a name yet and that's why they hadn't announced the birth yet. I don't know. To feel some type...

Benedikte doesn't strike me as particularly narrow-minded person, so I'm sure she loves all her grandchildren equally for who they are – no matter how they look or how they were brought into this world.

QMII's smile in that picture is just wonderful!

Wonderful news! Gustav and Carina welcomed their second child – a daughter – via surrogate on 26 April 2024. Kæmpe baby-overraskelse: Prins Gustav og prinsesse Carina er blevet forældre igen

:previous: How so? People here aren't outraged that a teenager went partying. That's just the tabloids attempting to garner clicks. And they would do so wether he's 1st or 2nd in line to the throne. Isabella, unfortunately, is in for the same treatment next year.

Woeful news given its history with the DRF. A favourite palace of Queen Caroline Amalie as well as Christian X and Queen Alexandrine. But as members of the DRF aren't exactly lining up to use it, an understandable decision. In a different decade, one could easily have imagined M&F taking up...

Unless Christian moves directly into the main building after his granny 😂

Today, 13 April, Nathalie has been elected to the board of the Danish Equestrian Association. She received the most votes of all the candidates.

Brilliant news for Eid! I'm so happy for them! Especially happy news for Rajwa after losing her dad earlier this year.

That is the most precious thing! What a sweetheart Athena is.

:previous: Indeed they were! Both travelled with their respective classes at school to Val Thorens. Not a school trip per se (as attendance is not an obligation) but a proud "gymnasium" tradition (at least in the Copenhagen area, can't speak for the rest of the country) to go skiing on trips...

A bit gutted not to see Mary in uniform (I know the majority on here is interested in seeing Frederik all uniformed up but in this abode, we're all about Major Mary looking smashing in her Home Guard attire 😅) but what a great speech! I love her affiliation with the Home Guard. And somewhat...

First, pardon for the super late reply. Secondly, did I word my post wrong since you seem to assume I want them to immediately work more than before rather than just keeping a decent workload somewhat on par with what they kept before? At a stretch, Mary has now had 22 engagements spanning over...

Actually, as the DRF communications department seemed to have snarkily asked the press to do ahead of the Easter debacle: The flag will tell. If Frederik is in the country, obviously the Royal Flag flies over his residence. However if Christian had served as regent during the Easter holiday...

Hate to be the Debbie Downer but I must say, I think M&F's vacation to work ratio since 14 January is looking grim. I mean, sure. Do 3 vacations in 3 months if you have tallied a decent amount of work between. But... have M&F done that? 😬 Mary has had 10 more or less official engagements (12 if...

:previous: ❤️❤️❤️ to you. All types of adjuvant therapy is – looking past the truly awful side effects – amazing but immunotherapy in particular is looking like it's gonna be a real game changer for cancer treatment.

As cancer cells were detected, she's definitely been given a cancer diagnosis. Though the assumed source of the cancer has been removed, it's virtually impossible to determine whether all cancer cells have been removed. Cue adjuvant therapy, in Kate's case chemotherapy – which is a cancer cell...

You can't possibly make an assertion like that without knowing the type of cancer she has. Some cancers are much harder to determine than others and I'd question the ethics of a doctor informing a patient they have cancer without knowing its exact nature.
