Lovely. I'll christen the new topic.

Apparently, the DRF, yes that does include Frederik and Mary (and no, the kids were not there) attended some outdoor ballet function in Sonderborg. Everyone looked like they were freezing and slightly bored, but happy nonetheless (at least I believe so).

If you want to watch the new video clip, please click here. *You have to watch the whole 5 minute plus newscast if you desperately want to see the DRF clip. Their segment lasts ten seconds at the very end of the program. Enjoy.

Another clip from the ballet event thingy can be viewed here

I agree, Did't they also try to claim that Mary and Alexandra were at odds with each other?

If Womans Day and other similar tabloids had their way, everyone would be an someones enemy.

Thanks for posting the pictures of them on horses. Mary & Frederil looked great and enjoying a great sunny day. It was good to see them having so much fun on the bikes heading back to the palace/castle after their ride.
Has Mary been riding for sometime now or has she taken up the sport when marrying Frederik? Im looking forward to the day Frederik & Mary will ride with their children

[MissSaga]

Thanks Glittering Tiaras. Mary and Frederik looks like they were having fun and laughing and smiling at each other.

Her hair is really getting longer.

Mary has been riding horses all her life. She used to show horses when she was younger.

Magazine time!

In the latest edition of Billed Bladet, the author notes how Prince Christian is slowly being introduced to the world of horses, "Christian calm and calmly introduce[d] to for instance the pony at a quietly and cautions moderation."

Apparently, Frederik doesn't have good memories when he was first introduced to horses, "Frederik has a long way from they good memories about his first appointment by horse of its kind childhood." Today, however, Frederik allegedly has "conquered the childhood fear" and is now a "capable rider."

According to the journalist, many thanks should be given to Mary who is a confident and strong rider and because of this Christian should be more confident with horses (or something along those lines.) In the end, it is "...very important [to the Crown Prince couple] that their son is relaxed and artless when around as well as riding horses."

There's more to the article, but it's a bunch of fluff and hogwash. To see the latest photos of Mary, Christian, and Frederik at the stables in Gråsten please click here.

Bigger and better close-ups photos of Mary and Frederik riding at Gråsten from another one of my favorite Dutch blogs, Troonopvolgers.

*NEW UPDATED PHOTOS OF THE CROWN PRINCE COUPLE RIDING AND BIKE RIDING*
Click here, here, here, here, here, and here

On this week's cover (with a photo of the couple looking irritated and distant towards each other) of Her og Nu, the journalists are questioning Mary and Frederik's spending habits noting that, "The friends paying the feast Crown Prince couple's latest rsregnskab treats food for thought... the business about Frederik and Marys consumption..." Also, the cover notes something about 15 million Kroner and that it is not enough for the couple since they believe their friends are paying for everything (the authors believe the couple are mooching off their friends who are far wealthier) and receiving free vacation trips (eluding to their Croatian holiday, I believe.) Read and look at the cover article you're bored.

Finally,Se og Hor, has nothing new to report. Yet. They are still extremely fascinated by the naked prostitute posing, rather straddling, on the Danish throne and in other places within the palace.

It's good to know that he starting in so young age. I hope he will be good horse-rider in the near future.

Btw when Mary start riding?

[GlitteringTiaras]

I believe it is pretty much inevitable at this point.

What is pretty much inevitable?

[Currier]

Thank you, Glittering Tiaras, for your good and current input, especially today for the translation of the article in Billed Bladet. I tried to tramnslate it with the 3rd and largest of my Danish dictionaries with much frustration and a lot of laughs when I discovered my mistakes.

[HRH Kerry]

Currier,
I would love to have read it anyway!
