Crown Prince Frederik and Sailing Competitions

[camelot23ca]

I was pretty sure from how they looked at the christening Isabella and Christian must have gotten some sun lately!
It was nice to see John Donaldson with the family.

While Crown Princess Mary attended a swimming event in Copenhagen today, the kids and Ziggy are with Crown Prince Frederik in Sweden!

Here are some pics from today, August 25 (the last one was made by a blogger who kindly shared it):

Obviously the two nannies and one of the two female conscripts onboard this year.

Christian would very much like to steer that boat!

It's fun to see Christian and Isabelle being pibed onboard.
(Don't tell a sailor that a boatswains-pibe is a whistle, unless you want a disapproving look).

Beautiful, active kids! I love Vincent and his mop top.

I can't help but think it's strange to see the sailors saluting Christian and Isabella when they're so young.

When QMII was a little princess, she and one or both of her sisters took delight in repeatedly walking past the guardsmen, who were obliged to present arms each time. Until Queen Ingrid or Frederik IX put an end to that, be exempting the guardsmen from saluting the young princesses. I believe it was QMII herself, who told that little story. - Only shows that royal children can be rascals as well.

I guess M&F's children haven't thought of that little prank.... yet.

Apart from that I think four lively children are a welcome diversion onboard. - Except for little fingers on the brass and windows, that needs polishing....

That's a cute story. Children add so much character to an event. It's never boring when they're around.

Ha, I'd heard that story, Muhler. It would be pretty fascinating for a little kid, I bet, to see these strange grown ups react like that every time you walked by. :)
I wonder if all of the children in the extended Danish royal family are saluted, (Joachim's kids, Princess Benedickte's grandchildren, etc)?

That's a really great gallery. Just one note of concern . . . Christian looks to be wearing a life jacket that is far too big for him. It really shows in those photo's with he and Isabella as hers is the right size and type. Is Frederik being a little too indulgent a dad?

Love seeing the twins. What a double handful!!
