Is she a friend, or a nanny?

I read she's Christian's nanny.

Uhm....Tilla. If you find the letter P - I certainly will not be angry with you. I didn't know it was lost but I will be ha..y when it is found. Dot's just doesn't function as well as the letter does

I know the translation isn't "exact," but this sentence made me laugh:

"First went the trip via Paris and later at the evening he was again united with Mary and the two nuggets. "

I also laughed when I read the translation! From time to time, Billed-Bladet will use a Danish term about Isabella that translates to "gunpowder owl" in English. It always makes me smile when I see it, because it's a prime example of how things don't always translate easily from one language to another.

In the new issue of Billed Bladet, there's a report on their holidays in France and an interview with Mary. But I'm not very sure because I don't speak danish!lol

It says "My school holiday with the children" and "Christian and Isabella love France" and "Frederik buys". At the top of the portion with Mary's photo, it says that it is a summer interview with Mary.

No it says "My nice holiday with the children" and "Christian and Isabella love France" and " Frederik shops".

Thank you, H.M. Margrethe! I don't speak Danish, and I rely on an online translator. Things are often lost in translation. I thought that the term,
"school holiday" seemed a little bit off.

Does anyone know how large the Chateau is?????????????? How many guest rooms would be available for their friendfs, and how many Family Members could stay at the same time????????????

I was struck by the fact that Frederik travels with just two security guards. I would think that there'd be more?

The Danish Royal family are very low key about there titles and postion. They are very unlike the BRF. It's not surprising that he travels with little security.

I have been doing some calculations.

As far as I can tell there must have been security guards guarding Frederik 24 hours a day. With two security guards on duty there must have been at least 4 not on duty. This is due to the Danish labour marked regulations according to wich a person can only work 37 hours a week. Therefore there must have been at least 6 - perhaps more - security guards following Frederik on his vacation - but only two guards was visible.

i couldn't see the big pictures of the market, but it must have been a nice outing, french markets can be such fun.

the matching hats of frederik and mary and their friends are quite funny indeed. it seems that joachim and marie also got a pair! (or maybe it's a common type of hat?)

i wonder what mary told BB in the interview... hopefully BB will write the story sometime.

Yes I think it's wonderful that Mary, Frederik, Marie and Joachim have the same hats. Quite coincidental.

That is such a beautiful picture, so innnocent. It is quite funny that everyone is wearing the same hat, except for mary. Frederik and Mary look quite relaxed, Mary looks like she did before she got married.
