Beautiful pictures, i'm glad the royals are attending events to do with the IOC. I know they are the host country, but it's nice to see.
Berlingske has an article that talks about the corruption scandals that some of the IOC members have been involved in, or have been accused of being involved in:
Kronprins Frederik på vej i dårligt selskab - Danmark
It says that this might not be a group of people that Crown Prince Frederik would want to associate with. It mentions the former IOC president Samaranch of Spain, who was a supporter of the the Spanish dictator Franco. It also says that members have been accused of tax fraud, smuggling, corruption, and murder (doesn't say which members-and only says that they have been accused).
