Crown Prince Frederik's 50th Birthday Celebrations: May 2018


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.

Thanks, Archduchess Zelia. :flowers:
And also for your eyewitness report.

I wonder if Benedikte is living at Amalienborg more or less permanently now?

And yes, it was perhaps not the right company in which to demonstrate for the abolishment of the monarchy, even though quite a few republicans would like to see QMII (and now also Frederik) as president.

Here is a new book that has been released in relation to Frederik's 50th.

It appears to have a ton of private family photos. Is it possible for any of our Danish friends to get a hold of it and scan some? They look great!

If I have understood correctly, this book was kept a secret because it was a surprise from Mary to her Frederik. There is a collection of private photos from over the years and professional ones.

This book looks pricey!

It's looks like a must for M&F followers and especially admires of Frederik. - Don't show this to Polyesco! :D

It's no problem scanning the book, but in order to get the best result it's necessary to cut it up, and I'm not willing to do that before I know what I might be buying - and the price.
Wonder if you can get it as an e-book?

-------------------- Live link from BB of the guests arriving. ----------
This link is live in 60 minutes from now. And it is now 18.00 here in DK: https://www.billedbladet.dk/kongeli...erne-ankomme-til-gallafest-kronprins-frederik

NRK will start showing live again from 18.50. - in 45 minutes from now.

I wonder, too, but I am not sure. If I were in Denmark, I would definitely pick this up.

Honestly, Muhler, I think we'd all be grateful just to get a glimpse of it even if it's not scanned or photographed in the best manner. Something is better than nothing.

It does look expensive, though!

EDIT: More info about the book. 199,95 DKK

CP Mary wishes CP Frederik a happy birthday with this release; a fantastic photo book with special moments from the last 25 years from the Crown Prince life, chosen by CP Mary herself.
The book is released in a limited edition, and it cost 199,95 kr

I'm definitely getting the book! ?

It's been decided that CP Frederik & CP Mary will get an open carriage ride through Copenhagen, from Amalienborg to Christiansborg ?

Thanks both of you. Okay, at 199.95 I'm going to get that book and scan it!

That's cheap for such a book. Probably subsidized in some way.

That book is going to be ripped away!

------------------

Okay, I've ordered it.

-------------------- Important! ------------------------------

Dr is not working for me still, it says that the file is not supported -while I can play other clips from their website.

The good news is that the youtube-broadcast of BB does work.
 
No problems for me, in contrast now NRK won't show outside Norway! :bang:

So let's hope DR1 get their act together soon!

First guests are arriving. It'll be quite a while before the first royals arrive.

-------------

Try Chrome, Firefox, whatever for the Dr1 link.
 
I am watching it in the Billed-Bladet YouTube channel. All other TV links don't see to work for us on the other side of the Atlantic !
 
Stand-by the Greeks are coming.

The Berleburgs are coming.
 
I've just clicked on the live link on DK and it's now working! I'm now spoilt for choice (am also trying to watch a cricket test match especially as England has made a bit of a recovery, lol!)
 
Unfortunately I can’t get the link over here in the UK,but I too can see the Billed-Bladet you tube .thank you all for the great pics and posts.
 




That is a weird way of listing the guests: the names of the Scandinavian guests (including the Swedish and Norwegian royals) are in Danish; the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Luxembourg are listed in French, and other foreign royal guests are listed in English, including the children of Queen Anne Marie and King Constantine, but not the King and Queen themselves !


I am happy to see that Hereditary Prince Alois and Hereditary Princess Sophie are attending the gala too. Princess Sophie should be styled "Royal Highness" though as a member of the Royal House of Bavaria and not "Serene Highness" like her husband. The styles "Queen Máxima of the Netherlands" and "Queen Mathilde of the Belgians" are also technically incorrect, but it is pointless to argue against that practice since it seems to be widespread, not only in Denmark, but in other courts too.
 
The next guest to arrive from now on are the royals, from current monarchies.

--------------------------

The Guards Hussars are ready. Two squadrons.

--------------------
 
The Greeks are all wearing their orders..

Who was escorting Princess Alexandra in?

The arrivals are extremely messy. Prince Gustav and Patricia Bailey arrived in the middle of politicians and friends. Usually there's some sort of order to it, right?

Gotta love Christian Eugen-Olsen – "Princess Alexandra of Berleburg... and Egeskov" ?

Took a look at the guest list. Notable absences are Princess Elisabeth of Denmark, Princess Nathalie of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, Carina Axelsson as well as Princess Alexia, Prince Nikolaos and Princess Tatiana of Greece and Denmark. Patricia Bailey seems to be the sole Donaldson representative. So thrilled to see Prince Nikolai, King Constantine and Countess Alexandra on there though.

Oh yes.

If the politicians - including our PM - can figure out to arrive on schedule...

The carriage is moving!

QMII arriving.
