It's great to see the family together at Easter. Isabella looks beautiful and grown up in her coat and scarf!
is it common or usual practice for people to leave church early? I'm not a big church goer not do I live in Denmark but I've never known people to leave early.
I think the case with Prince Henrik is that he is catholic. Yes, he converted to the lutheran upon marriage, but IMHO he´s catholic by heart. And catholics won´t share communion with protestants.I'm hardly the most active churchgoer myself, however going to the alter is optional and many leave at that time. - rather than sit and wait for perhaps 200 people each getting their oblate and wine.
I believe that is in line with the teaching of the Luheran church where the connection between you and God is personal and doesn't necessarily require a priest.
Perhaps FasterB can elaborate some more?
QMII is as you know a very devout Christian and I can imagine a service (especially at Easter) simply wouldn't feel right without the blood and flesh of Christ.
Frederik is also religious but in my impression on a much more private level. Not sure Prince Henrik is that religious and as for Mary that's difficult to say...

Yes, but still, I think the case is: Once catholic, always catholicI may remember wrongly - but didn't Henrik say once in an interview years back that he is not a very religious person? - that his wife is far more religious than he is?

Denmark's special 20 korner coin was issued on May 2004. 1 side has H.M. Margrethe II Queen of Denamrk. The other side HRH Crown Prince Frederik and now Crown Princess Mary has been added. Can anyone explain the coin? Is it rare is regularly used in money exchanges?
