Prince Henrik's 80th Birthday Celebrations: June 2014


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
I love queen Margethe's outfit- and the look between her and Henrik.
Don't like Marie's outfit- she looks like she's going to a beach party, don't care for Joachim's all black suit.
 

I like that we get to see the whole family together at times, Prince Henrik looks happy and proud it always nice to see him with the Queen.

Isabella and Christian are lovely children, as are Nikolai and Felix. Looking at Christian is almost like looking at a mini Frederik. The video of Prince Henrik and Isabella is just lovely, so nice to see a Grandfather spending quality time with grandchildren. I love Isabella's expression after the video was shown.
 
The 5 minutes long clip with Henrik and Bella. Henrik tells about his role as a Granpapa. That he loves to bake pancakes with them in the fireplace inside and that they enjoy it because they're not allowed to do that at home with their parents ;)

this is in Fredensborg right?
is this where Frederik and Mary are moving to for the Summer months?
maybe its in part so the kids can spend more time with their grandparents? just a thought

Loved that it was Isabella, his first granddaughter (after 3 grandsons) , with Henrik. from previous pictures it looks like they have a special bond
 
Any pictures of Princess Elisabeth or Count Ingolf and Countess Sussie?

It is indeed Fredensborg Palace :flowers:

I too think it's visible that Henrik has a special relationship to his eldest granddaughter. It is a well-known fact that both Henrik and QMII wanted more than two children, preferably a little girl, and I am quite sure that both he and QMII were absolutely thrilled when Bella was born – finally a little girl to dote on!
 
I though it was very generous of the DRF to include Alexandra and her husband in the celebrations. All very civilised.
 
The Regent couple and the Crown Prince couple will tomorrow at 4pm participate in a reception on the occasion of HRH Prince Consort's 80th birthday in the Orangery at Fredensborg Castle.

The press has the opportunity to cover the guests' arrival, the Regent og Crown Prince couple's arrival and the speeches.

Yes that's Fredensborg where Henrik & Margrethe lives now and where F&M moves to on Thursday ...

But there are still a bit differences in where Henrik & Margrethe live and where Frederik, Mary and children live. I have made a small picture in Paint which shows where Henrik&Margrethe lives, where F&M live and where Henrik and Bella were walking in the garden in the clip from the concert...

:previous: Definitely. Less than 5 minutes on feets and they can meet for a walk in the gardens ;)

ADDED:
When Margrethe and Henrik last month moved to Fredensborg, Margrethe held a speech for people who showed up. Here, she said that she was very happy they this year would be joined by the Crown Prince couple. She was pleased as mother, mother-in-law and grandmother.

Is anyone else surprised that the Heering's -- both parents and Mary's former LIW and her husband -- are missing from both events.

Is there any "talk" that there may have been a break in the relationship between the families?
 

That's a nice portrait of Henrik. At his beloved Château De Cayx :)


She was certainly happy :)
And we can see Frederik hand congratulate her after the clip and a proud Mary looking towards her.

I hadn't noticed that... That's really cute! Wonder who was most proud? Bella or dad and mom? ;)

Here are six beautiful pictures from last night found on Facebook.

Queen Anne-Marie and King Constantine

Article from B.T. tell that many of Henrik and Margrethe's friends were there. Some of Frederik and Mary's friends as well. Jørgen and Malou Skeel were come all the way from North Jutland.

One of the guests gave a speech about Henrik's rather acidic wine - it made him laughing loud.

And what abou the Heering's? I didn't see them!

Don't know. Perhaps they've gone on a cruise? Would fit the timing fine with Caroline Heering having stopped working for Mary and before she gets another job.
We'll find out eventually.
 
Thank you Muller for your kind answer, but i wasn't just mention only Carolina, i didnt' saw her mother in law too...

I know. :)

That's why the first thing that came to mind was a family cruise.

But at least the younger Heerings must still be around somewhere since they attended a big birthday party lately. Saw a pic of them too in BB.

:previous:
Bella is and will remain a little showgirl. To me it looks like she was pretty pleased with how she looked and that she enjoyed the attention. :cool:

This week BB has added a booklet of no less than 34 pages, with an interview of Frederik and Joachim about the father, PH.

This, very long interview, took place Tuesday 27th May, 2014.

The interview is based on photos of PH and what I'm going to do is to divide the interview into segments based on the relevant photos and add a translation or a summary, depending on my mood, and post them together.
This may take up to a couple of weeks, so patience please.

I prefer translations of interviews to summaries, because the way people express themselves say a lot about them.

The interview took place at M&F's home at Amalienborg. (In the room with the psycedelic ceilling I think). And it lasted about two hours.
The interviewers were Trine Larsen and Ulrik Ulriksen, with more than 400 photos being taken.
The setting was pretty relaxed as you can tell here: https://app.box.com/s/t210fx7xpon95ukb7g7p

And they actually started out by discussing the American version of the TV series House of Cards (The British is still the best IMO) which both Frederik and Joachim enjoy watching.

Here is first part of the interview:

thanks a billion Muhler :flowers::flowers:
a great job in bringing us the interview/pictures and doing translations. It is always appreciated :flowers:

I love the format of the interview, with pictures of Henrik being shown and Joachim and Frederik giving their thoughts on it.

Its funny how they both make fun at the picture of the Queen behind the wheel. :cool:

and I love how Frederik relates the picture of Henrik and Margrethe on their wedding day with the joy he felt on his own wedding day. I liked that he said that the day should be about 2 people (who so have shared their day with the public) but that you cant over think it and just enjoy it and live in the happiness.
"You should live in the present on such a day. If you sit and think too much about what is going to happen, the speech and the expectations… then you forget, pardon me for mentioning it, your day. You must simply sweep everything away and say: this is my greatest day”
;)
 
Muhler, thank you SO much for translating and sharing the pictures with us non-Danish speakers. Your insights, as always, are priceless and help so much in better appreciating how lucky Danes are to have such a fascinating Royal Family. I also watched part of the concert and was thrilled to hear Prince Henrik speak in French (which I DO understand) to Princess Isabella; I do hope that the grand children will also learn their grandpapa's native tongue!:flowers:
