Article from billedbladet, it looks like Frederik received attention from some of the Australian athletes who are from Tasmania like Mary.
He also confirmed his kids also enjoy a trampoline at home.
Kronprins Frederik til VM i trampolin | BILLED-BLADET

"Several of the Australian athletes had heard that the royal couple and their four children enjoy Christmas in Australia this year.
It was very popular, and some of the Australian girls said they would look for Mary and Frederik to Tasmania in December."

DK has been trying for the start of Tour de France to start in Copenhagen in 2018.
That didn't quite succeed but the effort apparently made an impression. So perhaps 2020?
The plan seems to have three legs of the tour all over DK, before moving to France. That of course costs a lot of money, but also generate lots of money in return.

So a few days ago the tour-boss, Christian Prudhomme, went to DK and got the royal treatment - literally. Normally the DRF are not involved on this level, but Frederik is a sports enthusiasts and member of the IOC so he was brought in for a dinner in the evening in honor of Prudhomme.

Very nice to hear about this. Frederik's work outside the official calendar.
Again hearing how he is involved from the beginning:flowers:
"Crown Prince Frederik was present. Usually it is the case that the royal perhaps no one greets when the whole event takes place, but here it was all very early in the process, and it helped to emphasize the passion of it all,"

DR video with Frederik being interviewed:
VIDEO Begejstret Kronprins mindes 80’er-trampolin med brormand | Øvrig sport | DR

Q: What about your own children, do they have a trampoline in the backyard?
- They have the classic one, yes. They jump and come around and they actually goes a little to gymnastics. So it's very fun to watch.

I remember in the Documentary on the royal family from 2010(i think) Kongehuset Indefra, we saw Christian and Isabella enjoying their trampoline. Here is some gifs of Christian and Isabella jumping around from this lovely blog
silver linings

As Frederik is Denmark's regent this week, he this morning held public audience at Christiansborg Palace at 10.00 am:

Offentlig audiens på Christiansborg Slot kl. 10.00 - Kongehuset

We never get pictures from these public audiences.

thank you Roskilde. as he is regent, so now he does the audiences by himself. They should release one or two from time to time like the other royals, :flowers:

a few more pictures from the Trampoline event, were Frederik was handsome as usual with his lovely smile. Its lovely how he makes a note to greet the Australian athletes too

No pictures but we got an article :lol:

"Professors and violinists were among the 69 citizens who Monday attended the audience with Crown Prince Frederik to thank for orders, distinctions and medals.
The military, the music and the universities were represented among the 69 women and men who Monday met an audience with Crown Prince Frederik at Christiansborg Palace."

He usually attends but this year he and his family are having a unique and special Christmas vacation in Australia for the first time.

A recorded message?

That does indicate he and Mary are on their way to Australia.

Does anyone know how long it takes to fly to Australia? Including a stop for four more or less impatient children.

From Europe, it all depends which route they take. If they go via SE Asia, it's about 24-26 hours (that takes into account transit time).

Via the UAE (i.e. Dubai etc) will take a few hours off.

Yes and from their beautiful "map" room in their home.
When I saw that his dates as regent changed I suspected that he wouldn't attend opening day. Nice that he sent out a message :flowers:
 
the introduction video for the handball tournament is now on the DRF website
VIDEO: VM i håndbold for kvinder 2015 - Kongehuset

"HRH The Crown Prince is patron of the 22 world championship in women's handball played in Denmark in December 2015. See here the introduction video for the World Championships. " :flowers:
 
Today Frederik will present at sports award in the town of Herning. Kronprins Frederik skal uddele sportspris | BILLED-BLADET

Last year that resulted in the now infamous "bridge-gate", but today there is no storm and though DK is covered in a layer of snow there are no plans for closing the bridges.
So may he have a safe and uneventful journey to Herning and back. :p

Crown Prince Frederik in the world's first royal SnapChat interview :D
https://www.facebook.com/DRSporten/videos/vb.113910068652488/995311963845623/?type=2&theater

DR's host of the Sport 2015 asked Frederik if he was fresh on a short SnapChat interview - and he was. Frederik is always fresh on such things and the Danes love him for it.

The host ask: Wouldn't you just rather have been a football player when you were a child?
Frederik laughs: Haha, I think I would be an astronaut when I was a child.. to be honest..
The host: Astronaut and Prince?
Frederik: Yes.
The host: Perfect combination.

And looking like we've got snow? I can promise you we have gotten snow. Copenhagen and Roskilde has lots of snow and it feels like we have been left in the deep freezer the last week. You remember the pictures of Mary and Frederik cycling Vincent and Josephine to their kindergarten? Particularly Josephine's facial expressions explained how cold we have had it. But the last 3 days (as you can see at the pictures from Frederik's event yesterday) we have had no wind, sunshine from a clear sky mixed with white snow on the ground and freezing temperatures. Unspeakably beautiful!

(Sorry Muhler, I do not know how the weather situation is in Jutland ;) )

:previous: Minus 17 C yesterday night, but almost tropical minus 5 C this night.

But no wind, so as long as you move around it's no big deal.
We can still drive around with our trailers over here and that's what matters. ;)
 
It is now on Frederik's calendar the reception for tomorrow, February 5th
"HRH The Crown Prince participates in the presentation of the Olympic flag bearer for the Danish team at the Olympic Games in 2016 in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Copenhagen City Hall, kl. 12.30."
BilledBladet article

and on the 12th he will be attending the opening of the 2nd annual Youth Olympics in Norway
"HRH The Crown Prince attends the 2nd Youth Olympic Games 2016 Lillehammer, Norway."
 
Yes, and M&F will be on TV for a national fundraiser to take place Saturday, so they won't be there for our Marie's birthday. - Which makes me suspect they will both celebrate their birthdays in Switzerland in weeks time?
