Schackenborg Castle, Tønder

[rylt11]

That entry room, perhaps a great hall, may have been the only room large enough to hold all the guests. That is what I surmise.

In the pre-wedding video about Marie, towards the end, she calls her mother into another room, set up like a dining room, to see some newspaper clippings of Joachim as a young boy on a tractor, etc. This dining room furniture was quite modern, and looked like it sat maybe 14 people or so. it was very modern, square looking, and placed in the middle of a much larger room. (It almost looked too modern for the style of the home).

Not everything is white. In one of the interviews released about Marie before the wedding, Joachim and Marie are sitting in a living room on a sofa. The walls of the room were red.

The table for the baptism was all in white, the room for the formal baptism and wedding pictures were also white, with baseboards and trim in a grey / taupe shade. The first formal pictures of Henrik Carl were also taken in a white room, on a white sofa, in a room with a white rug.

There have been other videos filmed, or pictures taken in the interview room which you are referring to. The walls are a deep red there. Years ago, there was a wonderful picture of Alexandra and Joachim in formal attire, taken in the same room. It had the same deep red color. Cozy looking room.

Yet another room is a very soft pink shade, nearly white. This room looked more formal, with period furniture. I think the stools on which they sat at their wedding were taken from this room. The video about Marie before the wedding featured this room.

Pictures of Joachim and Alexandra were taken in a billiards room as well. These walls were a very light grey or white with the same trim as the other rooms. Joachim and Alexandra have also been pictured on the stairs. These are in old threads, obviously. Still, it looks like quite a few rooms that have been featured are painted white, or just off white.

Does Prince Joachim maintain a horse stable ?? We know Prince Joachim did ride as a young man, does he continue to do so, and what about Nikolai & Felix, and of course Marie ??

I've never seen any of them ride a horse. But I imagine such a place like Schakenborg does have a stable.

I have seen pictures of Joachim riding (while married to Alexandra---I don't know he she also rode-----the pictures are in one of the closed threads here -- but you can still see the pictures).
Also in this closed thread it mentioned that when Joachim & Alex married they had no Gala dinner
