Hello : Welcome

Danish Royals Enjoy a Break at ther French Chateau

Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik of Denmark have been enjoying a break at their summer residence in Caïx, south-western France. The royal couple were all smiles as they made their annual trip to the chateau, which is nestled in the family's renowned Cahors vineyards.

The charming medieval city of Cahors offers a beautiful and relaxed environment, belying its history as one of Europe's major power centres. Walking around the pretty streets, it's hard to imagine that this was once one of the continent's most important banking cities.

Its laid-back atmosphere owes much to the fact that it hasn't been developed as a tourist destination to the same extent as other towns in the region. Visitors can enjoy a boat ride on the River Lot, taking in the famous Valentre fortress bridge which dates back to the 1300s. And those with a more adventurous spirit may wish to visit the underground rivers and grottos in nearby Gouffre de Padirac.

But probably the most impressive thing about this part of rural France is the sheer beauty of the countryside. Many holidaymakers prefer to follow the example of Prince Henrik, who prefers a simple walk in its picturesque forests and vineyards.

thanks for the pics Squidgy and HMQueen Margrethe :)
 
Queen Margrethe seems to love that colour and/or the model of that t-shirt, I think it's the same one she was wearing during last year's press meeting & photo opportunity. It's always nice to see those yearly picturess of her at the market, strolling around. Thanks for the pictures.

I think that Queen Margrethe is a prime example of a royal lady who recycles her clothes.:)

My translation of an article about today's press meeting from DR:


Focus on grandchildren at the wine castle Caïx

Crown Princess Mary’s coming childbirth was in focus when Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik invited to the yearly press meeting at the wine castle Caïx on Thursday.

For Queen Margrethe, it’s not essential that Crown Prince Fredrik and Crown Princess Mary’s first child will be a boy who can become King of Denmark one day, without having to change the rules of the succession to the throne.

- We are a family. Girl or boy – it’s a child, said Queen Margrethe, when she arm in arm with Prince Henrik met the big group of journalists and photographers for the annual press meeting on Thursday, that started the summer holiday at the vine castle Caïx for the regent couple.

The Queen denied to tell if she in advance have been notified of the child’s sex, but emphasized that she is very happy to become a grandmother again.

Continuously slender Mary

Flanked by the two dachshunds Evita and Saga and the Labrador Pollock, Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik received to a press meeting that mostly came to be about Crown Princess Mary and the coming childbirth in October.

The Queen said that Crown Princess Mary is in really good shape, and that she therefore is not troubled by the pregnancy. Prince Henrik stated that his daughter in law was very slender as a pregnant woman.

Princess Alexandra’s new “friend”

Queen Margrethe was also asked if she knows that Princess Alexandra has a new boyfriend – the 26 year old portrait photographer Martin Jørgensen, which the weekly Se & Hør and Ekstra Bladet could tell about on Thursday.

The Queen let the press know that she was familiar with the Princess’ new “friend”, and that she had not read either Se & Hør or Ekstra Bladet, and that she does not interfere with Alexandra’s personal life.

The back is doing better

About her own health, the Queen said that the back problems she has been dealing with during the summer are better.

After the press meeting, Prince Henrik showed the journalists and photographers around the vineyard, before the regent couple invited them to join them for a glass of wine in the castle’s wine cellar.

The Prince looks optimistically at this year’s harvest, which he though expects will be smaller than last year’s. The couple will remain at Caïx until 26 August.

Many thanks for your translations Grand Duchess.:)

I found it interesting that after all these years Her Majesty still gets nervous and a bit "giddy" about exhibiting her work. What a Queen!:)

I wish we could see some photos of the Queen's art.
