Frederik, Mary and Family on Summer Holidays: 2005-2008, 2012-2023


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Thank you for the pics. :flowers:

A 38 pic gallery from Jyske Vestkysten with more to be released later: jv.dk - Lokale nyheder - Sønderborg - Se billederne af kronprins-familien i Gråsten

Notice Pic #10. A horse was nervous and Mary put her arms out to protect Vincent, who don't seem to have noticed anything. As the gentle soul he appears to be, he is enjoying the flowers.

There were some 300 riders in the procession, representing various riding clubs and associations and marching bands and each of them brought flowers for the M&F family. - So that amounted to a lot of flowers!
Josephine, who seems to be upstaging her older sister, appears to have appointed herself as the one in the family responsible for accepting the bouquets.
I think Josephine had a field day! People, not least girls, dressed up. And regardless of her mishap, she doesn't seem to be afraid of horses. - Perhaps it had nothing to do with horses at all, but instead the accident just happened near the stables?

That arm of Josephine has quite a bruise on it as well, so a fall or impact of some sort would be indicated. She is certainly not afraid of horses; the parents were wise to bring her out to demonstrate her courage! Her twin seemed to have a bit of sibling rivalry issues at one point, but his parents have the matter well in hand! Great parenting, well done:flowers:
 
Such lovely pictures, this family is just a gift that keeps on giving :wub:

The pictures of Mary and Frederik on their way back to the palace are wonderful :heart: I also loved that Christian took Josephine's flowers for fun – who's to say that little princes don't want flowers just as well as little princesses :ROFLMAO: It's really great to see that the fall hasn't made Josephine scared of horses – didn't think it would either, she seems like a tough little one.

Daddy's boys; Vincent and Christian aren't sons of Frederik for nothing :D

I love this picture, at first I thought it was just Christian but then I spotted Vincent in the background – it's a double hand-in-pocket situation, they're their father's sons for sure :D

Can't help feeling sympathy for Gustav and Carina standing there in the background looking at M&F and their children.
This could be themselves receiving the locals in front of Berleburg - that is if they had any children...
In all likelihood they would want to have a family as well, but no, they can't get married and now it's probably too late.

I read somewhere that Isabella apparently knew some of the girls riding ponies by name. I guess they could be daughters of employees at the manor and Isabella could very well have met some of the local children. Gråsten is after all a very small town.

Now we know where Frederik was photographed. In LEGOLAND where he and Mary and the children last Thursday was a private excursion (and thankfully apparently the press didn't noticed it :flowers:)

Article and picture:
Mødet med Frederik: Brittas store dag | Ude og Hjemme

-We were in LEGOLAND and we did noticed that the Crown Prince also was in the park with his family. They enjoyed themselves in the same way as everyone else, and we really didn't wanted to disturb them, says Gitte.

-But my sister is sometimes a little more impulsive so she went to greet Frederik.

- And he was just so friendly and nice, says Gitte, who asked for permission to take a picture of the crown prince with Britta. A desire which Frederik smiling said yes.

Britta is very interested in the Crown Prince couple and their family and follows them closely. So it was a great experience for Britta to have spoken with Frederik himself.

And we have the first delightful picture of our Crown Prince family receiving the Gråsten Ring Rider Association today. They all look so lovely and as you can see in the picture Josephine is in top form despite her broken arm :flowers:

Trust me you weren't the only one who had those thoughts about Gustav and Carina.:sad:
 
Josephine seems to be going through a phase where she wants constant attention. Can be very tiring for the parents, trying to teach them how to behave. I know all about it. :lol:

Am I right this isn't the traditional photo call yet?

Actually I don't think Gustav & Carina don't have children because of those old family laws... Who knows what the real reason is, but if you really want children nothing is going to stop you.... It's such a strong wish. Of course not all couples have the wish, and some are not so fortunate to see their wish fulfilled.
 
Real talk:They can indeed marry and even have children.They just have to then deal with consequences of that choice.

Josephine looks like the exuberant twin and Vincent the gentler one. Yes I agree she is taking up her sisters outgoing mantle and antics now that Isabella is aging out of the little kid phase/behavior.
 
Yes that also. My point is the status quo is presumably working well for them.

I was thinking the same thing; with current reproductive technology its probably never too late, but I imagine the Berleburg heirs have already exhausted all appeals to the ridiculous conditions set out in the family will. I wonder if, after Gustav inherits, he will marry after all?:whistling:

Couldn't agree more! :heart: This family melts my heart time after time. And can't get enough of those four bubbly children. They each have such a personality already.

Lot's more of the wonderful family pictures from yesterday :flowers:

Thank you everyone for the link to all the wonderful pictures. Frederik is obviously very proud of his family. Since Mary and the children were the ones showered with flowers, he seemed content to hold back a little and let them shine. That's one of the things I like about Frederik - it's not ''all about him.'' It was nice to see Carina and Gustav there, too. I thought she looked a little wistful.

Now we can look forward to the family photo shoot on Saturday. I hope QM and Henrik will be back from Greenland in time to participate.

I wouldn't be surprise he married but with another woman and younger to have kids, wouldn't be the first one who do that! it is sad for her, but she choose this, may be she froze her eggs?
 
hi everyone!!!
I love family princess mary, especially Josephine. Here are pictures of her, this girl is so beautiful and lovely.
face to face
 
I wonder how long they will let her hair grow? It is very beautiful but thick and long must be a pain on an active 4 year old sometimes.
 
Hola

Congratulations on your first post Khanhvi and yes Josephine is really a beautiful little girl (they all four are) and a broken arm certainly not prevent her to having a blast (;

thank you all for the wonderful links and information:flowers:
what a wonderful event, its just great that Frederik and family were able to do it this year in place of the Queen.

This video is so nice. We can see that Frederik and Mary had their hands full in greeting the public and riders, making sure the horses didnt hit the kids, and receiving all those flowers. they did a great job and had great attitudes.

in the video at 1:50 you see how Vincent did not want to give his flowers to Frederik and Gustav lol
at 3:30 Josephine did not get some flowers like all her siblings, Frederik quickly talks to her so she doesn't panic lol ...we later see Isabella hand her some flowers that she received.

Love Josephine's enthusiasm, she is Isabella's sister

Thanks for a thoroughly enjoyable video, Fairy Tale :flowers:

A lot of details.

I'm amazed at how completely fearless Josephine is of the horses.
I noticed that several of the flowers and presents were personal, some with letters or cards. Christian at some point proudly showed mother one such card. He may be the older brother but he is still a child.
Josephine stole the show and she seemed to believe she should have more flowers, - most of them - all of them preferably...
While Vincent on several occasions voiced a meek protest. He'd like some flowers of his own too... - It really is unfair the girls get so many flowers! :ermm:

In the beginning Josephine unwisely were ready to allow Christian to hold her bouquet. She has not yet learned that older brothers, dads and uncles should not be entrusted anything! And broken arm or not she didn't let go.

Towards the end I noticed Mary explaining Josephine that it's time to smile, which seems to be family's term for posing for the cameras.

Mary certainly had her hands full! While daddy Frederik stayed in the back and tried to manage the troops verbally - a hopeless task! So why bother? Better leave that to Mary, women are better at multitasking anyway. (While dad's know when to give up). :p

Congratulations on a great first post, Khanhvi :flowers:

You too Polyesco & Roskilde. :)

This picture of Bella is a hoot: http://herognu.dk/Upload/Galleries/9656/05.jpg
Like an actress or dancer receiving flowers on premiere night.

I think Isabella would do well in the theatre. She has the presence of an actress.

Cute little Vincent, he seems to be the most shy/quiet out of the 4 but that can change instantly (I remember him mooing at the cows a few months ago)

I've noticed that picture before and it's one of the most adorable photos of the day! Not because of Vincent but because of the girl and her horse. Can it possibly become more "My Pony"? :lol:

Always such a pleasure to read your post, Muhler and you are spot on with this video here :D

I also really enjoyed the 10 minutes glorious video. Many lovely and funny details.

Thanks for all the pics. This family are just too adorable!

Also, this picture. Little Vincent is so casual. :flowers:
