Can someone translate?
Prins Henrik: Frederik får vinslottet

[stellad]

I think the report says that Prince Henrik has decided to give the Castle and wine industry in Cahors, France to Frederik as Joachim already owns a castle (Schalkenborg ? Spelling). Fred can either let the wine industry continue and they can use the castle as their summer home. something to that effect.

Do you know if the wine is available for purchase? What is their wine called?

[Lilla]

The most common one is called "Château de Caïx", but there are also others like "Les Marches de Caïx", "Le Prince de Caïx" and "Les Cepages de Caïx".

The wines are sold at a danish supermarked called Irma and some wineshops. I don't know wheter it is possible to bye them anywhere else or outside Denmark.

Thank you, Lilla! I love wine, and I think it would be nice to try their wines. Maybe I can find it online.

[Lilla]

If you do mannage to get this wine online, if is important to know that they are best served with spicy food and they have to be left open to oxidise for a rather long period of time (2 - 4 hours).

Thank you for the tip, Lilla!

Mary has shown her true colors at the Olympics and, apparently, they aren't the red and white of the Dannenbrog.

If you go to this thread http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...3-a-18003.html you can find some links about how this is all untrue.

The LOUSY trouble making press seems to be the same the whole world over. Half truths and lies seem to be their bible.

You know what! In this case , I entirely agree with you. The press has made a huge something out of absolutely nothing. CP Mary has been loyally supporting all the Danish athletes in action and she has even on most occasions worn the Danish colours - red and white - to show her support for her new country!

"In action" yes, but not privately apparently. Mary certainly partied with the Australian athletes and not with the Danes.

[Freye]

Apparently people are still jumping to false conclusions without knowing the facts.

Mary attended a 20th birthday celebration for an Australian athlete. She also attended support events for the Danish Olympians - there is a link posted somewhere that emphatically states that she did.

As many of you know I do not shy away from critizing the DRF. Just look at the 1015 København K-thread! Anyway on this occasion, I think we should cut CP Mary a little slack. So what, if she did party with the Aussies, but only showed up for the flag ceremony at the Danish camp? I don't think it is such a big deal.

[Currier]

In the Internet, today, Billad-Bladat has a most loving picture of Mary and Frederik and, if my elementary use of a Danish-English dictionary hasn't led me astray, I think it says they are expected to stay together for ever. Amen to thaT!

I agree. The Australian Women's Weekly this month features an article where it quotes Frederik in 2005 stating emphatically that he would stay with Mary forever. It has pix from Fred's birthday biography this year, and it's a great read.

This is another poll of Billed-Bladet:
Will Frederik and Mary stay together till eternity?
The article mentions Charles&Diana, Joachim&Alexandra and states that divorces are very common in the western world nowadays,
even in the "best" society.
BB asks its readers whether they think F&M's love will last or break?
When I looked at the results it was: 90% love will last, 10% divorce.

You hear this in the US all the time. Hilary Clinton was criticized for not wearing a US flag pin. Somehow she was unpatriotic and didn't support the troops. How stupid. To say Mary is the same for not wearing the colors of Denmark at the Olympics is dumb too. Why does the media have to be so negative all the time? Don't we have enough to feel bad about?
