I didn't know that she jogged everyday. So that's how she keeps her beautiful figure! I think it is funny that the bodyguard can't jog with her.
There is an article about the event!
Copenhagen hosts European Film Awards 2008 - Official tourist-site about Copenhagen
This is great for Denmark! I had no idea that these awards were so prestigious. It is nice to see that Denmark was the first Scandinavian country to host them.

Queen Margrethe: Mary was not good enough
Margrethe tried as a matchmaker - after Mary had moved to Denmark, claiming noble German author of new book The Queen was not certain that Mary was the best of Frederick. It writes BT dag.Derfor Margrethe repeatedly tried to get her son to meet princess-themes, as with their blue blood would be more suitable wives than a 'bourgeois', Australian girl from Tasmania. It claims the German nobleman and journalist Alexander von Schönburg, who has written the book 'All this you did not know about kings, but you wanted to know ', writes BT According to him the queen was so keen that Frederik would marry a woman with blue blood on the arteries and Diadem in jewelry skrinet that one summer she decided to take matters into their own hands.
In the summer of 2003, the Queen Margrethe II of Denmark a last desperate attempt to get his son Frederick to grasp the interest of a stand-approved 'bride. Without telling him about his intentions, she invited more beautiful, young, unmarried princesses to Fredensborg Castle. Most of them came from Germany, writes Alexander von Schönburg, as the book stresses that kronprinsen certainly was not love to see her mother in the role of matchmaker.
At that time he was and Mary already solid par. When friends kept birthday, christenings or wedding, Mary stood as a matter of course also on the invitation, and although she was also well underway to prepare for his new life in Denmark. In a half years she had lived in an apartment at Langelinie, she went to the Danish and she had also met his future father-in-law.
But this summer, she was of good reasons not invited to the Fredensborg Castle, and it was a little dour crown prince, who met the princesses. - Kronprinsen through skuede his mother's level of resignation with the visits, spoke clearly reluctantly with the young ladies and withdrew as soon as possible under one pretext or another, writes von Schönburg, published in the book in Germany in October. Although he is a part of the nobles Thurner und Taxis family, which means he is far closer to the royal protagonists than most other writers.

I don't believe one word of this!
Do you know where the author got his information? Was he close to the Danish royal family?
Jeg har forhørt mig blandt kollegerne i huset og ingen mener dette er korrekt. Den påståede begivenhed er heller ikke registreret i kalenderoversigter fra året, så jeg er bange for at jeg ikke kan bekræfte, hvad von Schönburg mener, har fundet sted,« skriver Lene Balleby i en e-mail
I´ve asked colleagues in the house and no one else is believing, it is correct. The alleged incident isn´t noted in the calendar overview of the year, so I fear I can´t confirm, what Schönburg is believing to have taken place
If the story is now true or not, is an other question. As much as I recall it, he got the year wrong and wrote 2004, which is actually impossible (I hope...a mommy searching a wife for her son a couple of months after the wedding would be quite rare )
But the reaction of the press person (Lene Balleby) at the court isn´t wise either
