"Rests in his role as father and Crown Prince
Frederick is a modern father of four
by reporter Katja Maria Salomonsen - Saturday, 15 January 2011, 20:07
The royal lackeys stood ready at the Crown cars. The fanciest clothes from a bygone era, they waited to carry the royal couple and their newborn crown jewels in true style from Empire to the Royal Palace yesterday.
And when Frederik and Mary had finished showing the twins, answering press questions and waving to the royalists standing in line Fred showed that he is a temporary crown prince of his time.
He and Crown Princess fastend the seatbelts and put the twins securely in the car, and then father himself sat in the drivers seat.
A modern man
For regardless of whether the assignment states to carry his precious home safely, or to stand his wife bee at her confinement, then the 10th Frederik in the Danish royal line is a modern man. A man who is present and engaged in family welfare. And unlike previous generations mantra - children should be seen and not heard - is the country's 42-year-old crown prince deeply involved in his children.
- I was at the birth, and it is a huge, huge experience also this one time. Two children to be born, very very big. An great gift, he said yesterday when he and Crown Princess left of with their twins in their arms.
Crown Prince Frederik, who in particular can boast of 'macho' training at the Naval Frogman Corps, is also so much in contact with his soft side that he takes part in the more everyday shades of everyday life.
- Now we start a new life up and get them well into their rhythms. They do of course have to find their rhythms, and they must obviously have some food, said the Crown Prince about the twins yesterday.
Paternity leave
Crown Prince Frederik, who took nearly three weeks of paternity leave in connection with the twin birth is also man enough to admit that maybe it was too little. Asked directly whether he was considering taking maternity leave said Crown Prince:
- Yes, it has occurred to me.
But where the Crown Prince really consisted manhood test, was his reaction to Princess Mary's answer to the question whether the Crown Prince had been a huge help at birth:
- Invaluable much, with great love. He does everything right.
Frederick's eyes were shining, tears squeezed themselves in and the sensitive father of four showed he is a modern man."
