They are spending their vacation in France.
Prince Joachim and Princess Marie of Denmark on holidays with his children in Chateu Caix . July 7 2008.
Actually I think it's a bit strange that Joachim & Marie are doing a photo shoot during their holidays in France.What is cheesy about them? All Royals will be posing within the month at their summer vacation homes in similar photo shoots.

Because, besides royal family photo shoots like e.g. the annual Graasten or Marbella photo shoots, usually only the regents and some of the heirs do that kind of thing. Frederik and Mary never did a photo shoot during their summer holidays except when in Graasten with the rest of the family. And I don't quite see why Joachim has to do it. Did Konstantin&Laurentien, Laurent&Claire ever do a summer (or winter) holiday photo shoot (I mean when all on their own)?
I think Joachim & Marie are a nice couple and I hope Joachim really has found happiness this time but some of the pictures as well as the photo shoot itself (so soon after the maaany pre-wedding photo shoots) are "too much" for me.

They did? Could you give evidence, please.while they didn't do one in graasten specifically, they did a whole bunch of other photoshoots in other castles and places that had much more media display than this one, and it was just after their wedding as well.
Besides, Frederik is the heir to the throne, Joachim is not. There is no necessity for him to do this kind of thing but unlike his brother he seems to like the media attention.
Too much of a good thing can be as bad as too much of a bad thing. Abundance of photographed loving gestures can be interpreted as desperate attempts to prove that Prince Joachim has found his true soul mate. Additionally, nobility usually avoid displaying affections in public.
Just wanted to say the same GT
There hasn't been much going on since marriage, ok, it's honeymoon and vacation time but when I look at the pictures I have the slight impression that they enjoy the french easy lifestyle on their wine estate very much, much more perhaps than doing some dull and boring duties in cold Denmark. I hope the danish lessons have not been put on hold completely and that there will be something for Marie that can be called an agenda soon. She's a danish princess and that shouldn't come for free.
i Royal...but still not a Crown Princess...because young Crown Prince Christian will be the order of the day...If I am totally wrong there, then I truly am lost and I don't get these royal protocols
They did? Could you give evidence, please.
M&F were photographed on many occasions, they made a long official visit to Greenland and an official summercruise where there were lots of pictures taken, of course. A lot of paparazzi pictures were taken as well.
But when did they do a photoshoot like that during their holidays just after their wedding?
AFAIR the first holiday photo shoot they did was the one in Australia in 2006, followed by the one in Switzerland in 2007. In summer there were only the family gatherings in Graasten, and a trip to Legoland last year. (I am not talking about photo-shoots in connection with official visits, birth/christenings or birthdays.)
Besides, Frederik is the heir to the throne, Joachim is not. There is no necessity for him to do this kind of thing but unlike his brother he seems to like the media attention.
(Apart from that here is one correction: Joachim & Marie are on holiday in Caix, France. The pictures were taken there, not in Graasten. The larger family gathers in Graasten every year and then family pictures are taken there. That's a tradition.)
Excuse my ignorance on this topic, but how are Ladies In Waiting selected? Will Marie make this decision on her own, or is the decision made for her by a Danish court or other members of the Royal Family?
Yes I have the same opinion I rather see them then not! So to me is wonderful these photoshoot I hope they do them many times during the year!!!
