My guess is that Frederik have slept at Marselisborg castle this night. He held the royal hunt in Western Jutland yesterday and today he has events throughout the day in Jutland again.

First event is in Aarhus where he this morning (rigth now, actually) will be responsible for the official opening of the student event "Aarhus Symposium". Subsequently he drives to Aalborg, where he in the afternoon will inaugurate the new education campus "On the Trail" before he returns to Copenhagen.

Read more about his first event here:

Of Frederik arriving. I hear that Frederik is addressed with informal you, I also believe I've seen the man who recieves him before.
Anyway, Frederik remains close to one professor in particular at Aarhus University. Can't remember his name.

I thought the two of you only preferred Frederik dressed in scarlet? :p

But Frederik did indeed dress neatly, obviously having observed his younger brother - who is a perfect gentleman. :cool:

Campus on Track is an association of social worker as North and adult education & HF, which is housed in the old freight area in the heart of Aalborg.

After the inauguration, the future social and health care workers will be trained, among other things to care for people with dementia, Frederik was shown around the school.

Here he was presented with a robot that is used in the care of dementen. The robot that can both speak and give a hug, being in care, dementia also experience tenderness and closeness.

Frederick was also not afraid to take immediate robot experienced up on the arm when he first looked at it. Then demonstrated the country's future king, he is also the father of four and a highly experienced one of the slain.

That's some nice galleries of Frederiks events today, thanks Polyesco :flowers: He's in his element.

The BT article says that Frederik in the best new born baby style laid the robot's head on his shoulder like a baby who had to burp while he delighted said: "It reminds me of my children when they were babies" :)

Here is one more video:

Although I'm skeptical about all personal qualities in the future will be replaced by robots.

How about a kilt? At some time in the future, we may see Christian and Vincent in one, owing to their mother's Scottish heritage. We'll probably never see Fred in one, though. Too bad.

Annoyingly all that has recieved next to no coverage in the Danish papers.

Frederik is often getting some heat for only dealing with sports, and not taking more heavy subjects. Well, he is actually, but business and trade and men in suits are not sexy, so little coverage. - Because as every newspaper editor knows, we the readers, are stupid, we can't comprehend all that commerce something-whatever-stuff and if we could, we are not interested anyway...

So Frederik remains a bit unserious in the eyes of too many.

Frederik attending so many sports events, especially with schools, may turn out to be a very sound PR-policy on the long run.
Because Frederik is extremely good face to face and letting the future subjects get to know him, while they are young is a good idea.
The monarch of my generation is QMII, but the monarch of my children is Frederik. So yes, he might just as well start grooming them. And doing a good job at it BTW.

I agree.
This is the frustrating part.
His event on Monday that had a connection to sports got a lot of press but this one that deals with Business doesnt get much :bang:

a shame that some only see that aspect of him, but it was nice to see the recent poll I forget where, where Danes choose him as the best representative of the DRF. :flowers:
Also, from their recent economic trips, people in the business sector have pointed out how knowledgeable his is and the impact he creates having him be present.
And involving kids in sports and fitness/health living is a great cause. It stirs the youth to a healthier path. :flowers:
 
Today, Crown Prince attends a board meeting of the DIF. House of Sports, Brøndby Stadion 20, Brøndby pm. 14:00.

"DIF is an organization that has existed for more than 100 years, and over the years there have been more and more federations, so DIF family today consists of 61 sports federations, over 9,000 sports clubs and more than 1.9 million active members."

let us hope for at least one picture : D

You have written it several times and you're right ... Suits and serious meetings (which several of Frederik's events are) gets embarrassingly poor coverage. His events with children, sports or other more colorful stuff get good coverage. Maybe we should tip at least BB that we have nothing against seeing just a little coverage also from Frederik's more serious events? Not, that they are different when it comes to the other poor royal men...

ADDED:
Have actually just written a little note to BB haha... Don't know if I have done it the right way.

Another thing we rarely hear about or get coverage from is the meetings and Council of State meetings Frederik participates in together with Margrethe. I don't understand the difficulty of writing him in the calendar alongside Margrethe.

Anyway, here's pictures from last Wednesday where Frederik as usual participated in the State Council together with Margrethe at Christiansborg Palace:

agree with you 100%
Their calendar and website needs improvement. Listing him in these meetings, would be step one

thank you for the pictures
Something is better than nothing :flowers:

Nice picture, Polyesco.

He is good to that. To always visit the Australian team no matter where and what it's about. I don't even think it's out of duty, but because Frederik simply feels Australia is a part of him.
 
:previous:I think so too Roskilde

I'll put this note here...as we know Frederik and Mary were suppose to do a trip to Japan with a special Greenland Delegation, due to some special elections the trip was canceled,
Nevertheless, On 6 December 2014, The 4th International Forum, Future City Initiative was held in Japan an international conference to discuss green energy and sustainability, here the Ambassador of Denmark to Japan delivered a speech that included a message from Frederik (who we know visited Japan in 2011 after the Tsunami)

Crown Prince Frederik stated that he would never forget his visit in 2011: “Meeting the people of Higashi-Matsushima and listening to their heart-breaking stories of personal losses deeply moved me deeply”. He added that he was also “amazed by the stoic determination of the city’s inhabitants to move on and rebuild their lives as well as their city”. He concluded his message by expressing the hope that the Future City Forum would be successful – “to the benefit of a rebuilt Higashi-Matsushima and all other cities of the future in Japan”.

Not sure why this is not on the official DRF calendar :bang: but tomorrow, January 9th, the queen will hold an audience with the new minister for Domestic Affairs of Greenland.
After the audience with the Queen, the new minister will pay a visit to Frederik.

:previous: It's nothing new, isn't it... I still don't understand the idea of not writing all his events in the calendar. But nor is Margrethes audience written in the calendar. Don't know for what reason.

Anyway, Frederik will tonight participate in DR's live television show "Sport 2014" and he will during the show hands out the prize "Denmark's Olympic hope" to a young Danish sports talent. "Sport 2014" celebrates Danish athletes and awarded prizes to the athletes who have excelled in the past sport year.

There's just one little thing... Denmark is currently affected by severe storms and hurricanes. And Frederik will have to travel from Zealand to Jutland where the show takes place. I heard on the news that the Storebælt Bridge is closed (the bridge you have to pass to get from Zealand to Jutland), and the ferry route between Zealand and Jutland has been canceled due to the weather as well. Perhaps he's lucky to catch a flight.

:previous: You are right. He may have to cancel.

Vejrkort: DMI While there is a lull over Herning from 16.00-19.00 or so, there is still storm over Kattegat and I would think it irresponsible to launch a helicopter for such a non-essential flight.
But perhaps he managed to slip across the bridge before they closed it, but I think he will have to spend the night at Marselisborg.

Perhaps the wholw CP-family left yesterday to spend the weekend at Marselisborg :)
 
You were right, Muhler.
According to this article Frederik managed to cross the bridge just before it was closed so he has reached Herning in time:

Thanks, Roskilde.

But he ain't going back this side of midnight at the very earliest.
It's pretty windy around here now - a neighbor down the road has lost parts of the roof.

BB has some more on Frederik: http://www.billedbladet.dk/kongelige/danmark/kronprins-frederik-gav-ros-til-roert-verdensmester
Here presenting a prize to a cyclist, Camilla Pedersen, who has returned, and returned very well indeed, after a nasty fall just a little over a year ago.
Frederik said: "You (informal you) have been an inspiration for many".

Camillia on the other hand think Frederik is pretty cool.

thanks everyone for the information. Hopefully everyone is safe from the storm.

Here is some more information about the prize Frederik will hand out

"- I am both honored and touched that the crown prince follows up with what I'm doing. He's even tough when he has completed an Ironman, said a still impressed Camilla after his first meeting with sport prince."

Was he on TV last night?

More on Frederik in Herning: Vidner: Kronprinsens bil kørte over stormlukket Storebæltsbro - Danmark | www.bt.dk

According to BT several motorists waiting for the Great Belt Bridge to be opened saw Frederik's car drive across the bridge at around 02.29. The bridge was opened for traffic again at 04.00.

The bridge was closed Saturday afternoon because some cars had been blown up to a meter to the side by the wind while passing the bridge.
We have later learned that Frederik passed the bridge shortly before it was closed.

People observed Frederik's car (Crown 7) arrive at the bridge escorted by patrol cars. They stopped at the bridge and Frederik's car and the escorting PET car continued over the bridge. But these cars are fairly heavy with very experienced drivers, so I doubt Frederik was in any particular danger.
However this is one of the longest periods the Great Belt Bridge has been closed due to bad weather.

The agency responsible for the bridge will not comment.
The police responsible for closing the bridge will not comments.
PET will not comment.

- It was a pretty windy storm we had yesterday and this night, but fortunately without causing too serious damage. The rising water will cause a lot of damage in the day to come, but that's another matter. After half the North Sea has blown into the Baltic Sea.
