Agree. That was very impressive that Joachim was so generous to his former father- and mother-in-law. From this fact, I suppose that the relationship of Joachim and Alexandra wasn´t that bad like other divorcing couples. It seemed to be an extraordinary smooth divorce process.

You're welcome!

For those of us who don't speak Danish that well, some of her comments from the fashion show (the only one I could find translated):

"You can express yourself personally through fashion. My own style is relaxing and myself. I don't keep up with the latest fashions."

I like that one! It's nice to know that although they are attending a grand event, they are normal people at heart!

alex001 and Paty,
Special thanks for the photos of Countess! As usually she looks amazing. Her outfits become her perfectly. She is so effortlessly elegant ...

It's about the book by Trine Villemann, and how, allegedly, Mary couldn't stand Alexandra after she caught her flirting with Frederik. You can find the thread on the book in the Royal Library forum.

Does anybody know if there are any pictures of her at the English Speaking Union's Public Speaking Finals which she attended today, according to her website. (Countess Alexandra of Frederiksborg - Activities)

RoyalFan77, here is the link.

Alex0001, I haven't seen or heard anything about it. I'll search and see if I can find any more detailed news about it for you.

Here's an article from Billedbladet.dk, but I'm not sure what it's about, not speaking Danish. 02-04: Felix for lille til ræs ... Billed-Bladet: Danmarks Royale Ugeblad...

Found it! Hello! has an article:
Romance still blooming for Alexandra and her new husband

OK, the article isn't actually about the English Speaking Union Finals that she attended, but the pictures are from it.

There's another 9 photos from Isifa, but I can't find any of her christening the olympic woman's double scull, (which is named after her) today. Can anybody help me please?

There's the schedule of the event here, but I still can't find any pictures.

I agree, it's so nice to see her after a period of her doing almost no engagements.
