Don't know where else to put this info:

Earlier this week, a dog of prince Henrik (a teckel), bit a royal bodyguard. The 11 y/o dog, called Evita, bit the man while she was being walked in the park of Fredensborg. The bodyguard has been taken to hospital to get a tetanus injection.

A year ago another dog of prince Henrik bit a bodyguard, the man was unable to work for 3 weeks.

Here is another article about Prince Henrik's dog. It says that the police have stated that the royal house is immune from punishment, and this will be considered before they decide what to do.

Politiet: Prins Henriks hund står over loven - Danmark

A very sad situation for everyone involved, IMO.

 

[Marengo]

Ah, and to make matters worse I see that some people in parlament have no bigger things to worry about on this day of European elections than the dog of the prince. They want the dog dead, as is normally the case with dogs that bite.

Politikere: Prins Henriks bidske gravhund skal aflives

poor Evita...but with such a name tragedy was only to be expected perhaps.

Prince Henrik made a visit to an herbal company, where he ate dried lice.

Prins Henrik spiste tørrede lus - Royale - BT.dk

He saw the company's production area, looked at dried blueberries and birch bark. The prince consort stated that he has always been very interested in herbs, ever since he was a child. He has herb gardens at Chateau Cayx and Fredensborg. The press were given spoonfuls of small black beads. They tasted them, and were told that they are lice. They are cochineal-lice, an insect that lives on cacti. Prince Henrik even tried some himself, and joked that he uses this in the kitchen.

 

[Lilla]

I was the Prince who fooled the press to eat the dried lice ............but afterwoods he did eat a few himselfe .
