Thanks, Iceflower.

I love Henrik's slippers You could create an entire thread alone based on the somewhat eccentric pieces of clothing Henrik's has worn.

ADDED: Two pictures of M&F from BT. We've seen them before but these are larger versions:

You are very kind Kathia_Sophia

However, in regards to going sightseeing in Copenhagen I think some of our fellow members who are Copenhagernes would be of much bigger help than me, as I only go to Copenhagen two or three times a year. - And I'm certain they would be more than willing to answer any questions you may have.
As for spotting royals. Well, you are not the first one to ask and at least two fellow members were lucky. One got a prime spot at Amalienborg at QMII's birthday and another almost bumped into Mary doing an early morning run. - They may offer advise as well.
Otherwise, let's return to the subject when you are going to DK.

Translation of article in Billed Bladet #45, 2012.
Henriks herlige Hubertusbørn - Henrik's lovely Hubertus-children.
Written by the Ulrik Ulriksen, who among other things describes Prince Henrik as a hugging-machine.

Prince Henrik had a merry company when he went to Hubertus Hunt at Dyrehaven (The Animal Park, where Eremitageslottet is located) Sunday forenoon. With him he had three of his beloved grandchildren, Prince Christian, Princess Isabella and Prince Felix who along with their farfar (grandpa) made their entrance in a couple of neat carriages.
The three young royals made sure that dull moments were far between on a forenoon that of course was first and foremost about horses and riders dressed in red hunting through Dyreparken north of Copenhagen. It was very obvious that the Prince Consort's grandchildren were also hunting for a funny experience on the picnic with grandad.
After arriving to the Eremitage Palace Prince Henrik and the three children took up position on the palace balcony (actually more like a terrace or a repos), from here they experienced most of the Hubertus Hunt.
Even though it was primarily about keeping an eye on horses and riders, where in particular the negotiation of the Depot-Pond (*) caught their interest, there were plenty of other things on the schedule for the young trio.
Christian and Felix had a cosy time as mates with a good boys-talk on the balcony and it seemed like the talk was about other things than horses. For example they talked a lot about a helicopter that constantly howered over the Hubertus-field.
Isabella, in the meantime was pretty good at entertaining herself. Especially when she heard the hunting-bugles sound she was like a fish in the water and (she) performed as so many times before with her own private dance-show.
Isabella didn't settle herself with dancing. Perhaps she followed the DR1 television contest "Maestro", where Danish celebs are being taught to be a conductor. Because she conducted the horn-orchestra in her own funny way.
When the Hubertus Hunt and the exciting finish was over the Prince Consort handed over Prizes and he a good help from his very own Hubertus Team, consisting of the grandchildren, who just like farfar made sure to shake hands with fastest riders of the day.
Prince Henrik was proud of his grandchildren and during the hunt he made no effort to hide his great love for them, they all three took turns in being hugged. Several of Henrik's Hubertus-hugs to the children was handed out on the balcony in front of the almost 40.000 spectators in Dyrehaven.
That was something that made an impression on people. It certainly also made an impression on the audience that Isabell both danced to and directed the hunting-bugle orchestra.
"She's a genuine little rythm-princess", said a man among the audience who spotted Isabella in the middle of a dance-step.
After a couple of merry hours at Eremitageslottet it was time for the royals to go home and a crown-car (**) drove up in front of the palace in Dyrehaven to pick up the Prince Consort and the grandchildren.
Billed Bladet managed just before departure to ask Princess Isabella and Prince Christian whether they had had a funny Hubertus-day. - "Yes", was the swift reply from isabella, before Christian took over. - "Yes, it has been fun", was the polite reply from Isabella's older brother.

ADDED: I forgot to mention that M&F's first nanny, Mette Frederiksen was with the children.
I wonder if she has returned? It is true love between Christian and Mette Frederiksen!

(*) This is where everyone hope some riders will fall off and drop into the cold muddy water. Apparantly also Bella, who according to a caption was a bit disappointed that no one fell off this year.

(**) Popular name for the official cars of the DRF.

At the same time M&F were photographed going for a stroll with the twins along the harbour not far from Amalienborg. In full winterclothing and wearing sunglasses I doubt many would have noticed them.

Wow! One thing about the Danish Royals . . . they are not boring. Actually, I think Joachim, Marie and Mary are the "hold-outs" on the family's penchant for whimsy!

Queen Margrethe: Love the ensemble and are they Golden Poppies I see?

Prince Henrik: You've got to love a man wearing slippers on a formal occasion. And very elegant and stylish slippers they are!

Prince Frederik: Oh Fred! A sneaky wacky bow tie, coloured socks, natty kerchief, diverting cummerbund? Anything to prove they haven't quashed the "Red Trousers" out of you!

On November 15 Princess Benedikte has hosted a reception at Christian VIII's Palace on the occasion of the fact that Denmark is the official partner country at the World Equestrian Festival 2013 in Aachen, Germany. Crown Prince Frederik attended as well.

The DRF at the Nutcracker. Princes Felix and Nikolai accompanied Marie and the family but it seems Prince Henrik and Princess Athena stayed home with Joachim.

Lovely pictures! I love the ones of Marie with her step-sons! I wonder why little Prince Henrik didn't attend? Surely he is old enough to sit through a performance.

[kathia_sophia]

maybe he was with a cold? lots of people have colds in this time of the year.

princess isabella looks quite of a handful...
