Thanks, Valberg :flowers:

Yes, Frederik got a warm reception.

He started out by telling the children to basically focus on the sport they were about to engage in and simply have fun, forget about the iPad for a moment.

It was our sports-reporter Ulrik Ulriksen who interviewed Frederik, and he appreciated being recieved like a super-sports-star.

Frederik also told about his own time at the stadium when he went to school, he didn't win gold, alas.

He also got a spontanous hug by a girl at 1:25.

Yes, red pants... Perhaps some of you former members of the Red Pants Brigade should start your own social group here at TRF? Red and reddish - and colored :)tongue:) pants seems to be very much in among royal males these days and presumably the DRF males are not the only ones?

Yes, the DRF and M&F in particular are surprisingly popular among children and young people, that is certainly my impression. - And contrary to what the "opinion-elitists" would like to tell us...

They are not the worst rolemodels either.

M&F are well covered in this weeks issue of BB, unfortunately there isn't much meat on the articles, so I'll deal with Frederik.

A summary of the Regent Couple's summer cruise and an interview with Countess Alexandra coming up.

Summary of article in Billed Bladet #26, 2014.
Written by Marianne Singer.

Wearing number 272, Frederik started his half ironman before the Devil puts on his shoes (idiom meaning very early) at 06.30 by jumping into the 15.7 degree warm or rather chilly water to swim 1.9 kilometer.
Having completed that he jumped on his bike and started pedalling for 90 kilometers and when the morning became forenoon, the locals started to gather (*) just in time for Frederik to start his 21.1 kilometer run. By now he was cheered on by the crowd. Somethng he appreciated very much.
Having finished Frederik grabbed a microphone and said: "It's been a great experience and a great pleasure for me to run here today. It's a nice race which you can complete as you wish - nail it to the floor or with the heart (take it easy presumably) that's up to you. But no matter what, all who complete have won something - so well done everybody".

Frederik's close friend Peter Heering also took part.

(I predict we will se Mary complete something similar this summer. Perhaps not a half ironman, but a long swim or a run).

(*) Having finished their Sunday morning pastry no doubt. On Sunday mornings here in DK you can observe an astonishing number of husbands and family fathers, often with a dog and with morning hair (those who have hair, that is...) embarking on a pilgrimage to the nearest baker to obtaing fresh bread and pastries for the Mrs. still at home in bed.
The phenomenon leads to the following mouthwatering result: http://dalsgaardiskivholme.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/picture11.jpg

-----------

Summary of article in BB #26.
Written by Ulrik Ulriksen.

Frederik attended the annual school olympics which took place at Østerbro Stadium. The children chanted: "Frederik, Frederik", when Frederik arrived, accompanied by the mayor of Copenhagen, Frank Jensen. (He was ignored...).
The children were almost queuing up to have their photos taken with Frederik and Frederik took his time having his picture taken, chatting with the children or encouraging them.
He started by giving a short speech before a collective warming up with the children and later on firing the gun for the first event, 60 meter sprint.

When he left a couple of hours later, he told how delighted he was at seeing the children so earger to participate in the various discliplines. And of course pleased that he was treated like a major sports start himself.

Thank you Muhler for letting us know how Danish men spoil their wives with pastry breakfast. However, I also now understand why both the Crown Prince and Princess are such sport lovers; you must work hard to fight the calorie-count of so many pastries and so much jam! The trim waistlines are hard to maintain; congratulations on such good results. Me I would not do well in Denmark as I must say 'no' to such breakfasts'! I will not and cannot run an Ironman/woman!:lol:

Oh to live in Denmark, what a wonderful life it would be! I would be very happy to eat pastries all morning in Copenhagen and then go cycling through the countryside the rest of the day!!

I just saw on the royal calendar that Frederik will be regent from August 5th to the 23rd?
during August 1st to the 8th he will be in Greenland, he can still be regent while in Greenland?
 
Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark.

When the Queen stays there she is officially not "out of the kingdom". Therefore there never is a Regent/Rigsforstander appointed.
The same goes for Frederik.

Recently added to his calendar, Frederik " shall initiate visit to Silicon Valley, USA
August 25, 2014"

H.K.H. Kronprinsen aflægger iværksætterbesøg i Silicon Valley, USA - Kongehuset

Does anyone have more information on what he is going for? the calendar on the DRF doesnt give more information.

I have not found more information yet, but Silicon Valley in California is home to many of the largest companies of the world technology and thousands of new small businesses.
Some Danish companies as well

If my google translate is correct iværksætterbesøg = entrepreneur visits ?

:previous: Thanks Polyesco :flowers:

And you are absolutely right - entrepreneur visit to Silicon Valley, USA.

It sounds interesting, and I hope and believe that we in the coming days will learn more of the details of the visit at kongehuset.dk. Can see his visit will last about a week.

An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.0 has shaken northern California, causing injuries and damage to buildings.
California Governor Jerry Brown has declared a state of emergency in order to deal with the effects of the quake

^^
just read this..wonder if it will effect frederiks visit..?
 
Its frustrating the lack of information :bang:
but thank you Roskilde :flowers:

The earthquake was big one, injures and damages. without knowing the exact location and when Frederik arrives, its about an hour and 40 minutes distance. If Frederik was already in Silicon Valley he would have felt something.

There is an Innovation Center of Denmark in Silicon Valley
News from Innovation Center Denmark
Hopefully we get more information
 
So Frederik today starts an entrepreneur visit to Silicon Valley, USA but yet the DRF website has not given us more information, press release, dates, agenda, etc.

disappointing : (

He stopped my favorite hummus restaurant and I missed it! And yes, he's wearing a t-shirt (probably trying to blend in with local techies).

Regarding the earthquake: there was major damage in Napa, but that's 80 miles north of Silicon Valley. No damage down here, but some of my friends felt it while I slept through it. It was a "deep" quake so the impact was big, but concentrated closer to the epicenter.

Wow, you guys are good researchers! Thanks for sharing the pics from Prince Frederik's California trip. It's neat to think that a royal is out here in my neck of the woods. :)
