I have been looking through this thread, and I have some questions:

Amalienborg has four palaces, if I am correct:
Christian VII palace, for what do they use this?
Christian VIII palace, for the CP and CPss
Christian IX palace, again, what is happening here?
Frederik VIII palace, residence of The Queen?

And finally, where do princess Elisabeth and her brother Count Ingolf live. Where do Benedikte and Anne-Marie stay when they are in Denmark, do they have their own appartments somewhere? And does Joachim have a place to stay in Copenhagen?

Christian VII's Palace is used for visiting guests/dignitaries and representation.

Christian VIII's Palace houses the Glücksburg royals museum (the Oldenburgs can be found at Rosenborg castle) as well as offices, a depot of the Queen's library and residence for the heir (until the renovations are finished on Frederik VIII's Palace). Prince Joachim also have a flat here, as will Anne-Marie and Benedikte after the renovations.

Christian IX's Palace has been the residence of Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik since 1967.

Frederik VIII's Palace was the residence of Queen Ingrid and King Frederik and is currently undergoing renovations to become the residence for Mary and Frederik.

As mentioned above, Benedikte and Anne-Marie have/will have flats at Amalienborg. Benedikte had one, but Anne-Marie, I think, stayed with her mother when she was in Denmark.

Benedikte and Anne-Marie have already flats/Rooms at Christiansborg VIII. Palace since the renovation of Frederik VIII. Palace started. Frederik and Mary have rooms at Christiansborg VII. Palace at their disposal when needed.

Also worth a Visit is Christian's VII. Palace at Amalienborg. It is also open in the Summer-Months but only on Saturdays and Sundays are guided tours there.

I've heard that there are renovation in one castle of Amalienborg palace and the work will be finish in 2009. Then the castle will be official residence for Fr & M and they decide if they move to Amalienborg or stay at Fredensborg. Does somebody know something more about that?

Yes, that is true. Renovations are currently taking place in one of the palaces at Amalienborg and will be completed in 2009 for Mary, Frederik and their children to move into as their official residence. Earlier this year, M&F had a meeting with the designers who would be designing the interior of the apartments

I dont really know, but I would imagen that they would have more than "an apartment", since it will be their primary recidence. They will likely get at least a floor. Something will be used to representation, but I supose it it likely that they would still use some of the rooms that are currently at Christian IX's Palace, since they would already have been build for representation...

They will have the entire Frederik VIII's Palais (Brockdorff Palais) which was until 2000 the residence of Queen Ingrid. Just the same as Queen margrethe II. and Prince Henrike have the entire Christian IX's Palais since 1967. At the moment the have appartements in the Christian VIII's Palais when they have to stay over night at Copenhagen.

Well, obviously. But just like with Christian VIII's Palace, something will most likely also be used for something else. Representation, staff etc.

Do any of these Palaces has an indoor pool? I think I read that Mary & Fred have an outdoor pool (a wedding gift) at Chancellory House (where they had a pool party for Isabella's Christening.....

I didn't know they had an outdoor pool. It would be wonderful if Amalienborg had an indoor pool but they don't have much garden for outdoor one. Does Amalienborg have any outdoor space for a garden?

There is no outdoor pool at Amalienborg. If there were one I would have seen it, as Amalienborg is open to the public and I live close by. I do very much doubt that there is an indoor pool. Amalienborg is a listed building which in 1794 became the residence of the King/queen. Making an indoor pool simply isn't in accordiance with danish law regarding listed buildings.

I was commenting on the supposed outdoor pool at Chancellery house. And yes I would have seen it aswell as I have seen pictures from Google Earth and have walked around Amalienborg myself.

Perhaps the outdoor pool was at one of the other Palaces ... it was an ariel shot of a Palace.............

Acording to this article from Danish tabloid EB, the crownprince couple will not more into Amalienborg until 2010. From January - March, the renovated palace will apparently be open to limited public viewing and they will therefore not begin the move until April of 2010, at the earliest.
