There is room for improvement for Frederik in terms of tattoos if he plans to catch up with granddad.

Perhaps. But so far he has a few more tattooes than just the shark.
I dare not start to list them though, lest FasterB & Sternchen will start bullying me again.

Anyway, here is a neat little gallery from BT of the todays New Year Court: Den store nytårskur 2011 | www.bt.dk

Thank you Muhler. I have to say that the most impressive outfits are on the soldiers. I love their red capes.

You are welcome

I'm sure FasterB will agree with you. She has a tendecy to swoon at the sight of a Guards Hussar.

You have got a point. CP Frederik has to be carefull not to bring home a cold.

BB managed to cover the first New Year Court before deadline this week.

Summary of article in Billed Bladet #1, 2011.
Nytårskur uden Mary - New Year Court without Mary.
Written by Anna Johannesen.

As you probably noticed, Mary was not present at the New Year Courts this year. So Frederik had to go alone, wearing his navy gala uniform, his orders and the Order of the Elephant worn on a chain, the only time of year, this order in worn on a chain.
Unsurprisingly he nevertheless got a good deal of attention. He was in great mood and despite Mary not being there, he had to pose: "Do you want such a alone-picture of me"?

Prior to Frederik, Joachim arrived, in his infantry gala uniform, with la Marie by his side.
The fair Marie was wearing her wedding tiara and dressed in a gown by Rikke Gudnitz.

The Regent Couple was there too, you know. QMII wearing a gown of ziberline-silk, whatever that is, created by Birgitte Thaulow.
The less said about Prince Henrik and him advertizing for the ladies, the better....

I was disappointed that Marie wasn't wearing more impressive jewellry at the New Year Gala. I wish the Queen would give her a decent necklace as well as the family order which I thought she would have had by now.

[Sternchen]

Why should the Queen give her a necklace? Last time I checked, Marie had a husband

Which order are you referring to here? The order of the Elephant? Pss Marie does have that one, you know

[Sternchen]

I thought the portrait of Margrethe is the family order?

I think she means the monarchs portrait.I also find it strange that Princess Marie doen't have it yet. Princess Alexandra got hers for the Queens Silver Jubilee in January 1997 and Crown Princess Mary got hers also very early after the marriage (i believe about 1 year later).

[FasterB]

Ahh, thank you, Sternchen and Stefan, I had forgot about that one :)

From the danish BB "Billedbladet" article (paperedition) about the New Year "kur":

"Will you have such a sole picture of me? asked Crown Prince Frederik, whereupon he smiled on the red carpet in front of the enlightened Christian VII's Palace at Amalienborg, where the royal couple has New Year Levee and banquet for the government, court and official Denmark. The Crown Prince was in top form after a nice New Year's Eve with his little family, and although he obviously wanted to have Mary at his side, he was still more comfortable with her staying home and taking care of her pregnant belly, because now the twins are expected to the world every moment.
The first celebration in the royal family is something that all the invited look forward to, and as usual there were beautiful deck to the royal table in the Great Hall, where about 60 guests ..... took place after having wished the royal couple, Crown Prince, Prince Joachim and Princess Marie Happy New Year. Fred got a speciel warm handshake to Princess Mary and a desire for "everything good " for the impending birth. The menu was ..."
