Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik Picture Thread I

[Thomas Parkman]

Fake, dear people, I think not. Margerethe is a queen and truly regal in the real sense of the word and doesn't even think about it. she is totally natural and as honest as her postition allows her to be. She doesn't need to fake anything. those marvelous pictures from her vacation on Henrik's estate in France are the case in point. Cheers.

I think that prince Henrik makes QMII happy on many levels. Henrik has for many years faced some critism and ridicule about being 'too French' - too outlandish somehow for most Danes. But I think that a lot of Danes have finally come to appreciate the values he has contributed with. He obviously fulfills Margrethe's need for a real life-partner - someone she can share her passion for art with for example.
Also, his work efforts have not been adequately appreciated IMO; but he really does seem to put a lot of work into a variety of projects. It has sometimes been said by representatives from trade and industry that Henrik is a genuine asset whenever he joins one of the Danish trade promotion tours abroad.

It would be nice if Henrik received more general recognition for the work he has done over the years.

Hear, hear !!

I for one recognise Henrik for his work.

I bought a bottle of his red wine the other week.
Now I can't decide whether I should drink it or keep it as a souvenir.
I wish I bought two bottles

Bright idea: I will open it, drink it, and keep the bottle as a souvenir.

About Henrik and Margrethe; all couples have their ups and downs. We just don't exactly know if and when any downs occured. But right now, in their third age, they both seem happy and content with life and what it has given to them so far.

userDane; needless to say, I love your avatar.

This can absolutely not be our queen at all, but who is it then?

I think it is Princess Margretha of Sweden - the first cousin of Margrethe II of Denmark and sister of the present King of Sweden...
