Frederik and Mary's Current Events Part Ten

adorable pics, indeed! how come they were in amalienborg? was it to supervise the construction? the event doesn't seem to be an official one and is not in the official agenda, so i thought it was more of a private thing.

It seems to be an informal gathering to celebrate that the workmen have more or less finished the restoration and other work on the palace.

Does anyone know when they are supposed to move in? Do you think they will change nursery school now to one closer to Amalienborg? Fredensborg isn't very far from Copenhagen if you go by car, is it?
I really liked to see the pictures of Frederik taking Christian to nursery school by bike, with Ziggy running along with them, and it must have been a perfect opportunity to spend som quality father-and-son-time together, just the two of them. I hope the move doesn't put an end to that, and that Frederik drives Christian himself if they should choose to go by car instead.

I'm guessing that prince Joachim and princess Benedikte also have residences in Copenhagen, do they also have apartments at Amalienborg or do they live somewhere else?

Prince Christian is lovely. I see him every day more similar to his cousin, Prince Felix, at his same age.

Christian looks very cute....and seems to be a curious and social boy. He's adorable

[agnessa]

Talking about Fr&M I think that everything is just ok but IF it isn't so it's obvious that they don't show this on public. It's nice to see them in their future home and I was wondering how well behave and good boy Chr is and seems that he don't afraid other people too (he must get used to it).

aww, he's so cute! I'm sorry for always saying the same, but it's just that this little boy is just getting more adorable every day. It must be quite cold already in Denmark, judged by the way Cristian is dressed. Was that an apple he was holding in his hand? Just a quick question, because I've never heard of this royal hunt before, is this a yearly traditional thing? Are the deer on the pictures with Christian dead? Seems so sad.

The royal hunt is a yearly event, Princess Leonor. There is a whole topic dedicated to this year's hunt in the topic Royal Hunt at Fredensborg. Please click here to the thread.

Mary is cute with her kid. she is always a combination between the girl next door and a real princess. I like that about her. She can get back to being normal.

Tonight, Sunday, the Crown Prince Couple attended the Swedish film ARN:Tempelriddaren (Arn: The Temple Knight) at the Imperial theather in Copenhagen.

The film is based on the novels by Jan Guillou, in which, Arn de Gothia, the son of a high-ranking Swedish nobleman, is educated in a monastery and sent to the Holy Land as a knight templar to do penance for a forbidden love. This Swedish flick is also about other Norse badbutts joining the crusades in Jerusalem. Apparently, it's the biggest production ever in Sweden (or rahter Scandinavia on a whole), raking in at over $30 million, not exactly much in Hollywood terms. The average Scandinavian film usually has a $2 million budget.

To learn more about the movie click here to talk with others on IMDB about this flick. There is apparently a sequel coming soon entitled, ARN-Riket vid vägens slut. Some people love this flick, others hate it. You decide check it out when it comes to a movie house near you.

Interesting outfit from Mary...not to sure what I think of it really. Love her hair though - it's straightened!! Thanks for the info on the film GT

[GlitteringTiaras]

No problem, but from what I have been hearing (I heard about this film prior to TCP couple viewing it) that the movie isn't half bad. Although I tend to like the books better because it's hard to transfer a novel to screen, if you know what I mean. So Arn is a cross between/rip-off of Kingdom of Heaven (which was an awful, awful movie byt the way) Gladiator (in terms of tone, lighting, camera angles, dialogue, music, style and so forth), and Lord of the Rings (battle scenes.)





You can watch the trailer on Youtube, like one.




Or click to hear a bunch of people who worked on the flick babble on and on and on about their experience reciting lines, how wonderful this film is, and watching some above-the-line guys holding a steady cam whilst following the actors around and so forth.


Here is my friend's summary of the movie:
In the first book, we meet Arn Magnusson a young noble of one of the great clans in Sweden. He is taught to ride and fight by a retired templar living in a monestary in Denmark. When he returns home to the semi-pagan Sweden he is immediatly caught in the political scheeming between the clans.

He falls in love with a lownoble woman called Cecilia. They are "together" before marriage which is then discovered by the evil clan of Sverkerne.

The knowledge they utilize by having the Swedish Archbishop (a member of their clan) to condem Arn and his beloved Cecilia to 20 years of service to the church. Arn is to serve as a Knight Templar in the Holy Land while Cecilia is to be locked up in a monestary.



That's how Arn ends up in where he is.
