To me the hardest part of this life is too be far from their children for so long!!! It must be really hard for Mary leaving their children, at home, so far, alone with nannys  !!!

Mary's father has also been in Denmark as a guest lecturer recently. It is likely that he and his wife are on hand to be with the children, just as they have for many of the other times Frederik and Mary both had to be away. So Christian and Isabella's experience is not so different from that of other children sharing a little holiday with grandparents.

My niece is a Nanny to well known children. She reckons that they have a great time while mum and dad are away on business trips. They go to the movies, they play at the park, ice skating, roller skating, horse riding, fun parks etc and, she has taken them on overseas kid's trips. I would like to know how that can be so terrible. While mum and dad are away, the kids will play  sounds good to me

Thanks for the links and pics of their time in Colorado. I live in this beautiful state and wish I could have seen them while they were here. Did they leave last night? A major snowstorm has hit with up to two feet of snow expected. Hope they got out!

Emmily, I too live in Colorado and I'm hoping they we're well on their way out of Colorado. It's nice if you can be sitting by a fire watching it snow but not to travel!

Yes, I agree! If they did not get out last night I think they will be here for awhile. It's nasty out.
I will admit that I am a dork, but it was exciting to me to see pictures of them with Governor Ritter.

I can tell you that Fred and Mary could have come incognito to Des Moines... very few people knew they were here until it ran in the newspaper next day. And I'm just finding out 2 days later.

Hopefully they got out early so Mary could do some shopping in NYC. That would be a crime to come all the way to the US and not be able to shop in NYC.

what does private programme mean? that mary will perform duties which will not be with media being present or publisized or that she doesn't perform duties and will dedicate the day to other personal pursuits?

I think that mean they will have a programme or meeting without the press or time out for the couple to do whatever they want

A quick note on the places they have been to. Torsten Jansen of the Danish Embassy told BT, that part of the reason for going to Central USA, was that this is a place, that is almost never visited by royals and heads of state.
And, if we can be very honest for a second. The Crownprice couple went to America last year, and stayed almost exclusively in the New York area. They did pretty much the same as they have on this trip, but they barely got a mention in the local paper. Which is of course bad, since part of the reason behind these trips, is to support and promote Danish industry abroad. It is my understanding, that they have done a lot better this time, publicity wise, and part of this is probably because of where they went.

Idaho is certainly a sportsman's paradise.
Nebraska has grain farming - it is the breadbasket of the USA. There is a lot of wealth and farm industry in Nebraska. Plus a huge state university.
You would be amazed at the sophistication of the people who live in these states. They travel all over the world and bring culture back home through museums and orchestras.
These people certainly like and demand the finer things in life.

Who was degrading it? I just can't imagine what would be of interest to them there. I think that it is a great thing that they've gone to visit, but I just can't imagine what their presence is going to accomplish there, or how much enjoyment they would get out of it.
Nevertheless, for some reason I thought that they were visiting there. Although they are visiting Nebraska, and I stand by my statment that I can't see a reason why they should. Colorado and Illinois are a totally different story.

I'm guessing they got stuck here in the snow since most/all flights out of DIA (Denver's airport) were canceled yesterday (Thursday).
