Prince Henrik took a visit to Sardinia a few days after the christening of his newest grandson, little Prince Henrik:
Ekstra Bladet - Prins Henriks fede ferie

The article says that the rest of his family stayed behind in Denmark during this visit. He was on a luxury boat when this photo was taken. There is no mention of where he stayed, or whom he was with during this vacation.

Prince Henrik will not participate in any royal hunts. His advanced age, shoulder problems, and other health concerns are preventing him from being able to keep up with the activity required during the hunts, according to this article:
Prins Henrik opgiver jagt - Royale - BT.dk

The prince also has gout, back pain, and an arm problem that keeps him from being able to properly handle the rifle.

Oh how awful, he sounds like he has real trouble. Is he being treated for what he has?

[sgl]

The article didn't mention treatment, but I would be very surprised if he wasn't receiving some sort of treatment. I have read in previous articles that he does work with a physical trainer.

[maria-olivia]

I wonder if Prince Henrik has a "morphine treatment" to support his various health problems that should be a reason he looks a bit fat ?

[sgl]

Not sure about his weight, but here is an article that says Prince Henrik is still participating in hunts (just in a slightly different way):
World’s first royal GPS hunt

He hid the first royal geocache near his house in France. GPS hunting has become very popular throughout the world, and Prince Henrik is the first royal to participate in GPS hunting. His participation has been confirmed.

Here's a photo and an article about the Queen's visit to the Danish Jockey Club:
sn.dk - Sjællands Nyheder - Danmark

The article says that the honorary prize went to Swedish rider Annika Sjokvist. It also says that women jockeys have been more prevalent due to a shortage of male jockeys. And that the women who have been riding have done so well that they have done better than men in this traditionally male-dominated sport.

Prince Henrik attended an exhibition on September 21,
2009 and seems to have enjoyed it a lot but I
couldn't find any additional information about it:

It is great to see Prince Henrik again. I feel like it has been awhile since we have last seen him. He looks healthy and happy in the photos. Thanks for the link, Iceflower!

I'm happy to see prince Henrik well too. I was missing him.

Are these liquor stores somehow related to his winery?
