Today, November 22, Crown Prince Frederik attended a lunch with Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, Tour de France Director Christian Prudhomme and Cyrille Tricart of the Amaury Sport Organization at the Prime Minister's Office. Prudhomme is in Denmark to attended the annual general meeting of the AIOCC, the international federation of cycling coach organizers:

:previous: Another meeting of F/M that is not on the official calendar. Glad the DRF facebook wrote about it.
I had read in the past that this was something Frederik & Denmark were working to get.

More coverage on this meeting

Today Frederik also acts as regent (the Queen is traveling to Ghana for a state visit). Frederik will be regent until the 26.
Today he was at the State Council

:previous: Indeed.
This is something both Frederik and the current government is very passionate about and has lobbied quite a lot for.
Two days in DK, with all the media coverage that entails, is considered very good PR (and fairly cheap as well) for DK.

- On a personal level I'm not that convinced that the costs are worth the effort.

The Tour de France has been so big here in Australia for so long Muhler and polyesco.

(Often now just called "Le Tour".)

We get live coverage of all stages - our night time of course, plus repeats and highlights packages.

Even Bjarne Riis - former Danish winner in the 90s is a well known person here.

A lot of Australians have done the cycling trips that take you over the course. (Young and fit Australians, mostly young men.)

Not an unusual thing now, even some people I know have done that - even those mountain stages.

And others have travelled along with the actual race as spectators - stage to stage - either independantly, or with the several commercial operations that look after you and get you about.

A French chef who has lived in Australia for many years has a yearly food show called "Le Taste le Tour" in which he goes to the region of each stage and covers the markets, farms, vineyards, restaurants, their specialitly produce etc.

Some people say they only watch it to have a little holiday in France seeing all the wonderful scenery that is broadcast.

If Denmark is able to host the opening stage, it will give the country an enormous amount of exposure for the tourist industry.

Tour de France (or as it all also known here in DK: Tour de Epo) is also a huge event! And has been so for basically most of my life.
Not least because of a legendary commentator, Leth. - The sun rise in the east, we have presents and the Disney Show on Christmas Eve, See "Same procedure as every year, James" on New Years Eve and Leth comments on Tour de France. Period!
Giro de Italia is also a big event, but not up there with Tour de France.

- And mostly the media go way over the top, especially if a Dane happens to anywhere in the lead. ?
No wonder since half the press corps use the opportunity to frolic... I mean, report from France.
 
Yesterday, Frederik held the public audiences
"HRH The Crown Prince held public hearing at the Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen on November 27, 2017. By audience it is possible to thank for an order or medal and for royal appointment or parting."

Here is a gallery of some who attended yesterday

Isn't it nice, that the court has remembered to change that to Frederik...;)
For the past 24 hours, that entry has said it was the Queen who held the audience.

very nice. it surprised me too! They often do not correct these things when its Frederik regent or holding audiences
 
Tomorrow, HRH The Crown Prince will be at the inauguration of the Red Cross Volunteer House.

"The Red Cross has organized a volunteer residence in front of the country office in Copenhagen. The idea behind the volunteer home is to create a gathering place where volunteers in the Red Cross can meet and develop voluntary efforts for vulnerable in both Denmark and the world"

Another pic from the event

Also a nice detail. Instead of cutting the ribbon for the inauguration, Frederik and one of the volunteers tied the ties together
"The Crown Prince and our volunteer jonna møllemand inaugurated the house by tying a string together to a nice bow.
It symbolized that we in the red cross tie people together"

"HRH The Crown Prince participates in the celebration of the 150th anniversary of H.C. Andersen's honorary citizenship in Odense.

This year it is 150 years ago that H.C. Andersen was appointed honorary citizen in Odense. It happened as a recognition of the great impression his adventure had put in the whole world. The anniversary is marked with the internationally renowned lighting artist Bruce Munro's "Field of Light" installation in Eventyrhaven."

Thanks Muhler and Polyesco for the beautiful pictures of Crown Prince Frederik lighting up H.C. Andersen's Odense. A beautiful sight, right?

This event, as well as Mary's event last night, seems to be F&M's last official appearances before they and their children travel "home" to Australia to celebrate Christmas with Mary's family. No official events have been added to the official calendar despite the weekly update today. Frederik is Denmark's regent until Sunday - here after I think we can be pretty sure they are traveling... Then they can reach 3 weeks in Australia, which is certainly not too much when you are traveling to the other side of the globe.

I cross my fingers they are left alone for photographers for most of their time (like in 2015). They deserve it as a family.

Good trip.:auflag::ausflag2:
