Maybe the clip will be on You Tube like Mary's Engagement Interview, so I can watch it later...
Is anyone having the same problem?
yes, you must minimize the window and reopen it again, then you can see something for a few minutes...

Marie says that she is not going to move to Denmark until they marry.

Joachim says that there is rubies, diamonds and sapphires in the engagement ring.

And a quick kiss for the photographers

all the best wishes for the couple and a long and happy life together.
thanks for the link to the press conference. joachim looks so happy and the most animated i've ever seen him. marie has the sweetest voice and a charming manner. she doesn't remind me so much of mary as letizia (her delicate features and demeanor) very lovely.
PJ asked her to marry him this summer and got down on his knee to propose after he had asked her grandmother, mother and father for permission. such a charming "old school" traditon, it's very romantic and sweet. i caught that she found the family very welcoming, marie has only been around alexandra a few time but she was very nice and sweet to her. i missed the question but heard an answer "i don't know her well enough to say" was she talking about Mary????? there's a quiet family party tonight with a dozen or more family members and they are looking forward to it. also she won't move in with him until AFTER the wedding and they have no plans yet but are hoping its a private wedding. that's all i caught hopefully others can fill in more about the press conference.

Sorry, but I wish more royal houses were like the Dutch in terms of their view on religion (i.e. CP Maxima).

Every royal house does things differently.
As there is no law actively regulating which church/religion the spouses of the Danish royal house belong to*, I can only assume that this is, as was said in the press release UserDane quoted, that Marie, maybe in discussion with Joachim over her future, chose to convert.

*The only regulation from the constitution is that the monarch must belong to the Danish Lutheran Church. No mention of anyone else in the family in that context.

Hi bbb from what I heard of the interview she was asked whether or not she would be able to learn anything from Crown Princess Mary and she said she didn't know her well enough yet to say. Hope thats correct?

That was all I was able to get from her answer as well (thanks to that annoying commentator!)

I think it has a definate french upper class touch: asking the family first and deciding to wait till the actual marriage to move officially together sounds very formal, but I guess this was Joachim de Laborde de Monpezat, son of a French nobleman, proposing to the French demoiselle Marie Cavallier and not our modern Danish prince Joachim. I believe prince Henrik must be very, very happy to have hope for 3/4 French grandchildren and once the patriarch of the family is happy, all others may be happy, too.

I'm very happy for them and wish them all the luck and happiness in the world.

Oh, I found some more official pics, with the parents and Joachim's sons. Unfortunately, they are tiny:

Congratulations to the couple!
At the same time, Marie conveys an image of feline to me. I assume that there is a possibility of a hidden rivalry between Crown Princess Mary and Her Royal Highness Princess Marie
