Princess Benedikte and Prince Richard, Current Events 2: September 2005 - March 2017

[IslandDweller]

At the risk of being vulgar, does anyone know about the finances of this family? I assume Benedikte is on the Danish civil list? Has Prince Richard had a career? I know he inherited a castle, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's very "liquid". Any info would be much appreciated.

I actually managed to find out about the Danish Civil List, at the following website:
The Danish Monarchy - Organisation - State Civil List Annuity

Benedikte receives DKK 1 million per year, which one conversion site puts at EUR 134,306.96. The site says, "For Princess Benedikte, the allowance is to cover representative expenses in connection with official obligations."

What is a Schutzenfest? Are the men in the photo with Princess Benedikte somehow involved in the festival?

Here is the wikipedia-entry of "Schützenfest"! The men in the photo are "marksmen".

Thank you, Principessa! Did Princess Benedikte take part in this event by shooting, or was she just there to observe?

Wow Benedikte looks incredible. How does she know the bride or groom?

The mother of the groom is a cousin of her husband, I guess.

Princess Benedikte is in South Korea, where she spoke at a women's university:
Benedikte fejret i Sydkorea – nu er prinsessen filosof - Royale - BT.dk

She was given an honorary doctorate in philosophy due to her work in promoting the education of women.

Thanks for the info sgl.
I hadnt known that Princess benedikte promotes eductaion for women.

According to the article, she does this through her patronage work. The article cites a patronage that has done a lot for Girl Scouts International, which is something that the university works with too. I didn't know this either, but I do think that it is quite the honor for Princess Benedikte to receive this recognition.

Billed Bladet has an article about Princess Benedikte's work as a Danish princess:
Billed-Bladet - Prinsesesse Benedikte - en utrættelig slider

It says that she works tirelessly for her patronages and on official duties.

Pss Nathalie has a new nine week old black labrador puppy called Alice according to Billed Bladet Issue No.44.

There is a photo in that issue. Pss Nathalie's family has had black dogs in the past(perhaps labradors or other hunting and retriving breeds) & Pss Nathalie is carrying on that tradition.

I wonder if Carina has a dog.

I read in a magazine that Prince Richard of Berleberg is ranked in the top 400 of Germanys richest. He is probably involved with Banks and finance.

According to an article from Billed-Bladet Princess Benedikte and
Princess Nathalie attended an auction in Herning this weekend
and sold a three-year old horse to a dressage rider from Sweden.
The horse, called Henry, was born and raised in the royal stables
in Berleburg and was sold for 135.000 Danish kroner, around
18140 Euro. Prince Richard also wanted to attend the auction,
but had to cancel it as to a bad cold. Here's the full article:

Billed Bladet has an article that shows Princess Benedikte in her home:

Billed-Bladet - BILLED-BLADET hjemme hos prinsesse Benedikte

She was interviewed regarding her sister, Queen Margrethe, in honor of the Queen's upcoming 70th birthday. The short article that I linked advertises the interview, but does not contain the interview. Instead, it has some lovely pictures of Princess Benedikte's living room.
