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

Does Schackenborg get decorated outside for the holidays?
We've seen heart-shaped wreaths for the Joachim and Marie's wedding, but don't recall decorations.

The link to the article just shows the cover pictures, not the extensive pictures which are mentioned, such as the kitchen, etc. Perhaps someone could redo the link in order to be able to see these as well.
Thank you.

In a interview with Prince Henrik's brother,Princess Marie said that Schackenborg Manor is 4-stories and 32,291.99 square feet (or 3,000 square meters).......................
No wonder she maintains her great shape, that is a lot of house to walk around in, with the grounds covering 1,000 hectacres.....
I sure could get use to that beautiful home.
Wonder how many people it takes to keep the place cleean ?? Do they have live-in help ???

I think it's safe to say that they have live in help in addition to caretakers for the grounds. Now there is also a nanny.
Would it be possible to scan the pictures that were in that article and post them? Is that allowed? As I mentioned before, the link only shows the cover of the magazine and couple of other pictures, not the extensive pictures that are mentioned. Are they on another thread somewhere?

B.T. had a short article February 11, 2010, that Joachim is or has leased part of his 1200 hectacres,
AND
his Farm Manager Stewart Soren Frrdereksen of 17-years will be leaving (no reason given) the first of the year, so the position will be open............
Any one have some additonal information....perhaps (my guess only) Joachim will be taking over more duties from Henrik & the Queen, as Fred will be tied up with the IOC for 9.5 more years
