A picture of Amber Petty at the party here, the picture 2nd row from the top and on the left. Not a very flattering picture. There are pictures of some other guests on that link too, some of which do their best to copy Paris Hiltons style of clothing... I agree however that Caroline Heering looks very nice, as usual I might add.

While it is interesting to get an inside view of the party, I can't help thinking that this is slightly distasteful? Although i can hardly imagine that Amber just blabbed without Mary and Fredericks consent. Surely she would have checked with them if it was ok to do the interveiw?? I mean she is still staying in their house so they would have to have some knowledge of it surely. And maybe it is well constructed publicity for the CP couple?? I would love to hear what others think.

I can' t think this is especially good publicity for the couple, with quotes like 'Mary is quite the princess here' and Frederik playing his mondharmonica on stage. But I agree that it is unlikely that Amber made this call without informing her friends first about it. Funny detail: the Queen asked a waitress if she was alowed to smoke at dinner.

Note that the radio people are asking 4 times (or more) if Amber kissed/ did more with somebody, went to bed alone etc. They seem to have a one track mind ...

Thats pretty typical of that type of radio show (one of the exact reasons I try to avoid the shows to be honest)

And I agree TRH must have had some knowledge of what Amber was doing, but I cant see how this is good publicity - air guitars, princess comments etc

Maybe Mary is a fan of Guitar Hero... I wonder if she'll purchase the latest edition, Guitar Hero:Metallica for the family Xbox? (assuming the CPC has one)


Or, perhaps she's practicing for an Air Guitar competition in the future like this one:

Frederik's harmonica playing is no secret - Se videoerne: Frede gav den fuld gas til rockkoncert since his stage appareance with Led Zeppelin Jam last year.

I hope that Crown Prince Frederik had a good birthday. It would be cool if i could meet the Danish Royal family in person. I really look up to them.
they might know About the Canute/Cornett connection. it would be cool to have a conversation with them. And also i have alot of respect for the Danish Royal Family it would be really cool to meet them in person.

Why weren't there other Royals too? Like Willem Alexander and Maxima?
They also didn't attend the wedding of Marie and Joachim. Haven't they been invited?

They had festivities around the 10th wedding-anniversary of cousin Maurits and Marilene last Saturday (31st).
The Spanish CPs had the annual diner before the day Dia de las Fuerzas Armadas (31st and 1st).

Danish Royal Watchers: Mary sang for Frederik
This is an article by DRW..about Mary singing for Frederik on his birthday.
It also gives a list of what the party did after the event at the Orangery.

Neither event was official! Apart from family and friends there were
no must-invites!

Perhaps the Dutch CPly couple were invited, but unable to attend? If so,
this is not normally made public by the royal court!

BTW I'm new! Looking forward to seeing you on the TRF-forum

mary's pink dress was lovely. it completely suits her. it's funny how mette-marit, victoria and carina chose very similar dresses! the cut, style and colour were very similar for them all.

not so sure about helle redtz outfit: maybe not very appropriate? caroline and tanya looked adorable, each one in their own style.

I doubt whether they OK'ed the interview ... mind you, Amber has to make a living, and she is after all a D-grade celebrity, not a princess! No doubt it was a condition of her getting time off from work ... and Frederik and Mary don't, I"m sure, make it their business to control Amber's professional life. I guess they trust her not to tell tales, and she's a very vivacious lassie ... and her radio pals were egging her on!
