Thought I'd post some pics of Fred from his younger days with old flames. First is Fred and Katja. Top pic is of Frederik sitting next to Alexandra at a state dinner (it's just cute, so I thought I'd post it)

Before I get to your other questions Alexandria I wanted to point out how most of Fred's ex-girlfriends have gotten married (save for Maria Montell)...hmmm, is Fred a committment phobe?

Bettina is a cute person and while I am not crazy about strapless wedding gowns, I actually think she looks very fresh and attractive. Her bouquet is appropriate, too. It's got a little color and it's not terribly formal. Some brides absolutely ruin the overall look w/ the wrong flowers. I think Bettina looked great. The gown actually looks as though it suits her breezy personality.

Hi everybody!

Hmm ... interesting that most of Frederik's ex-girlfriends have gotten married. What does that say about Frederik?!

I have to say that Bettina looks quite pretty in these pictures. The pictures that were posted of her a few years ago when she and Frederik were dating and the whole naked on a boat thing were not very flattering of her.

I do like her simple dress and flowers. I think you're right Julia, some brides do overdo their flowers so that they overpower the effect of their gown or whatever. But Bettina's are small, simple and elegant with just a pop of colour.

Perhaps Mary should take notes! :P

Hi Alexandria,

I agree that the whole naked on a boat thing was not in the least bit flattering, but here she looks very fresh and pretty. The bouquet with that pop of color is just perfect for spring/summer.

Now, I know I am getting far too ahead of myself but I am I really wonder what Mary would choose as a gown (flowers, the whole kit and caboodle)?

:) CP Frederick has the eyes for cute and pretty ladies..Look at her ex-girlfriends they are pretty but with varied personalities..:)

Bettina is a pretty person and I like her strapless gown because its style is simple yet elegant to look and wear. I think she looks good and attractive in her gown. Her bouquet is appropriate for her look. Though it has somewhat a little color but it didn't ruin the look. Some brides ruin their looks because of having the wrong flowers in the boquetl. Bettina looked great. The gown actually shows her outgoing personality.

Prince Frederick has a lot of girlfriends. Some are good looking and I find others less beautiful though. But they have distinct features.. I find Katja Storkholm beautiful.. CP Fred and Princess Alexandra would have been a good pair but I think Alexandra best siuts with Joachim.
