Crown Prince Frederik & Mary Donaldson Current Events: September 2002 - December 2002

Hey Kelly B,

I think that the reactions and answers to the press by Mary's parents was pretty silly, considering he is suppose to be a Professor and she a respectable crime writer. I am saying this not to be catty or mean, but I can't imagine both of them being the future Grandparents of a future King of Denmark. Princess Alexandra's parents had class, even though they were divorced and were very presentable. Here you have a picture of them waving at the press with a big smile and dollar signs in their eyes, reminds me so much of the Goldfield days in California when a nugget of gold was found and just that look. They had to pose of all places right outside Amaliensborg castle?.

I don't think that Queen Margrethe would be very pleased with that photo and shocked too. :o :x All this reminds me so much of Sven Hoiby. Its like they are taking this opportunity to create some publicity for themselves. I bet poor Mary must be angry, afterall, she has waited so long and so close to hitting the jackpot and now thanks to her parents this had to happen. I think that she would be heading off to Paris, Brazil or England the next time her parents were in town, who wouldn't. :x

Hugs,

Lorissa

Hi.

Princess Alexandra's parents aren't divorced.

I think the interviews are kind of odd. Why her father simply doesn't say 'I would prefer not to talk about Mary, thanks' is beyond me. He says in one sentence 'I would prefer that any news came from Mary' yet speaks to the reporter. And when asked about May 24th he starts 'messing around' in stead of just saying 'No'. I mean his wife then says 'But John you're teaching that day!'. Why this secrecy? I find it quite odd also that he doesn't seem to be especially interested in what's going on. 'I don't what to pry' (spelling) he says. They surely cannot be very close if he doesn't speak to her about this. I mean she only has one parent left - you would think she were very close with him.

Well, I still think they just should have said 'no coments, please'. Wouldn't that be the proper thing to do?

According to www.billedbladetnet.dk, Frederik met with Mary's father while he was visiting in Denmark. Anyone have any speculations as to what Fred and "Dad' chatted about?

Here's the article in Danish w/ a pic of Fred :)

Frederik alene med Marys far: Møde under fire øjne - nr. 51


Båndene mellem kronprins Frederik og hans kommende svigerfar bliver stærkere og stærkere, efterhånden som de to mænd lærer hinanden bedre at kende.
Mens kronprinsen i begyndelsen udelukkende mødtes med John Donaldson i selskab med Mary, har Frederik nu holdt mindst ét fortroligt møde med sin kommende svigerfar uden Marys tilstedeværelse. Et møde under fire øjne.
Mødet fandt sted i sidste øjeblik, inden Donaldson igen rejste hjem til Oxford, England, og det varede i mere end en time. Tilsyneladende havde både Frederik og John Donaldson behov for en god, fortrolig snak om fremtiden.
