This is a truly a unique and heartwarming book.
Crown Princess Mary made the book as the official ‘people gift’ to her husband and the Danes on the occasion of his 50th birthday.
It's unique - I don't think we've seen such a personal picture book before in royal families. And it only gets better because most of the pictures are Mary's own and she gives good and reflective descriptions of when and why she has taken the pictures. You know, she is a great photographer. Heartvarming photos from their holidays in Trend, etc. that we might not otherwise see.
In addition, there are these 'behind the scenes' photos from the official photographs. They are also lovely and the book describes that Frederik and Mary have room for fun during the official shoots because it is needed for the official photos to get genuine.
A beautiful book that again shows Mary's deep love and understanding of her husband. With that book, Mary (again) beautifully and honestly describes what person Frederik is.
Frederik’s 50th birthday celebration was full of gifts for us royalists, it was a unique 2 weeks celebration. (I hope we get just some celebration of Mary too when she turns 50 years in 1.5 years and by that are giving the opportunity to see Frederik pay just as heartwarm tribute back to his wife. Her 40th birthday became completely low-key when Margrethe celebrated her 40th anniversary some weeks earlier. When Mary turns 50, Margrethe will be able to celebrate her 50th anniversary some weeks earlier. But I hope. A round birthday just gives a unique insight into the person having the birthday and after all Mary is our lovely future Queen. We got big official celebration at Prince Henrik’s birthdays, so there is hope.)
