Great news! I just saw the pictures of this morning and they look so happy! I guess we were expecting this but it still took me by suprise. I didn't see Mary though in the pictures with the danish government earlier.

Mary and Frederik make a party for Joachim and Marie.
What does it tell us? Right- Mary and Marie will never get along well.
That's not very logical, in my opinion.

as far as I know Mary isn't part of the constitution (only the Queen, Prince Consort and the Crown Prince). This is why she wasn't at the meeting of the Danish Parliament.

I hope that they are very happy! I do not think that there will be a problem with Mary and Marie. Mary knows her role and that she will be the next Queen. Marie also know this as well.

I have just said that it is my felling that they will not be best friends like going shopping together! But if the party is at Fredensborg we can assume that Frderick and Mary are involved in that!

Does anyone think this will be a smaller wedding attended by representatives of the royal families or do you think the crown royals will come out? I'm thinking smaller scale?

Her teeth are reallyyy white...
On the press conference, maybe I didn't listen properly, but I thought she said something about Mary's fascinating background and her being really nice and simple, when asked? (something with simple and great simplicity) It was a while before the question if she could learn anything from her.

Did a few day ago she dropped a hint to photographers that they will soon have an official occasion to picture her and Prince Joachim. Then we all wonder what did she meant "official occasion" picture. Well, sure enough, few days later the royal family announced her engagement to Prince Joachim. She cannot kept quite.

I hope so, too... But they said they hope for a private wedding, so what does that mean? Only family?

Yes, and I think it would be quite stupid of Marie to start a fight with the future queen.

I think those comments are quite annoying, just like the comments about a rivalry between Alexandra and Mary were. They make both sides look bad. And I would like to believe that these women are on a much more mature level.

I'm surprised to see how many speculation about the relationship of Mary and Marie are going around in this thread.
Maybe the best would be to wait a bit until Mary and Marie had time to get to know each other and will show each other together in public during official events.
Until then everyone should stay relaxed and see them as 2 totally different women.

I never expected that there would be so many people who talk so badly about Marie.. My first impression of her today was quite a good one. She and Joachim looked really cute together and it was lovely to see the Prince supporting his future wife during the inteview.

Hey,

i don´t know if i speak for everyone but, i think every person have the right to post here his opinion...and this is that what they do. When you don´t like that, than don´t read it.

But at the same time in this instance since it is a second marriage maybe it is better for the sake of others that it was kept a secret. However, still a little annoying to me that it was kept quiet.
It was kept quiet because Folketinget (Parliament) was on holiday. As long as they're on holiday, I don't think there are councils of State. Without that, Margrethe couldn't have officially given her permission for the couple to wed. Formalities, but it would be rather odd to announce the engagement and then fail to get the queen's permission...

Benedikte - Richard (Germany/Prince)
Anne-Marie - Constantine (Greece/King)
Frederik IX - Ingrid (Sweden/Princess)
Knud - Caroline-Mathilde (Denmark - Princess) - male children from this marriage married Danish commoners, and lost their rights to the Danish throne.
Christian X - Alexandrine (Mecklenburg-Schwerin/Duchess)
Frederik VIII - Louise (Sweden/Princess)
Christian IX - Louise (Hesse-Kassel/Princess)

The commentators before the press conference called him one of the more hard-working members of the royal family, and seemed fairly impressed with how he had turned Schackenborg around from being a not-so-profitable farm, to finding a niche for the products.
