Joachim smiling to Alex-why divorce? Are they good friends or something now? wow-they are amazingly civilized. Does Alex have a new love already or something?
What wonderful pictures! I have a few pictures but I think they're only duplicates of what's hereAlexandria said:About Mary's outfit: The jacket is wonderful and the darker dress underneath it wasn't so bad. Although I wonder why she didn't wear that pretty light pink/beige dress she wore at the engagement press conference with the jacket; that was a much better dress than the dark one from today. The shoes (also from the engagement) were the second best part of her outfit aside from the jacket. The hat however, was horrendous. And what was with the bow or tie thing at the side?!
Benedikte looked really great however.
As for Alexandra and Joachim: From the few pictures I saw of the couple interacting during the opening, if I didn't know better I couldn't tell at all that they were divorcing. They seemed perfectly normal and natural together, talking and interacting. It is obviously not an acrimonious seperation.
And it is just me or did everyone seem incredibly bored with the opening of parliament? The Dutch royals didn't seem all that happy to be at their opening of parliament either.
Hard to believe, but I have actually encountered a number of posters who liked the oufit (hat and all! - but we're understandably a bit pro-Mary at the CP Mary MB...lol).lucys said:I'm surprised. Mary wore something not a one poster liked.
I think it's great when Royal women repeat clothing, but there are certain things that should never be worn twice. That beautiful coat was one of them. And then to make it worse. It wasn't even close to the lovely outfit she wore on her engagement day--to this day my favorite Mary outfit. Now she's gone and ruined the memory with that terrible hat and a dress too long for the coat. Such a shame.

H.M. Margrethe said:No Queen Margrethe do not give a speeche from the throne becaus she and the rest of the royal family may not express ther political opinion. Therefore the queen and the royal family can´t place ther vote when ther is a election to the Danish Parliament.

Less royal ladies appearance means less interesting to watch, doesn't it ?liv said:Sorry, but it is really boring to look at this pics without Mary and Alex
I think what Sara meant that Alexandra officially is not a member of royal family anymore then she will not continue to join "official " royal tradition in parliament opening ceremony, but yes of course she still remains part of the family because of her children then she might still invited for a less formal event of the family .H.M. Margrethe said:I don´t think that it´s tru because she has given birth to both Prince Nikolai and Prince Felix and they are 3. and 4. in line to the crown,so in that way she will still be in the family. She migth not be married to Prince Joachim BUT her blood is running in the veins of Prince Nikolai and Prince Felix.
I don't understand why somebody still bring up a commoner blood issue to nowaday royal... in present DRF it self I think only the queen and her siblings has "pure" royal blood. Frederick and Joachim don't considered as having the same kind of what their mother has since prince Henrik doesn't come from a royal family background (just aristocracy family). Frederick’s wife also has a commoner background and then the future Cp or Cps will have 3/4 commoner blood. I don't think that is a big issue anymore.Princejonnhy25 said:Her blood may be running through her kids vains but that is commoner blood and does not affect her at all.
