Emmily asked for a translation. Google provides one which is very good if sometimes amusing as they've used "gemini" for "twins." I use Google for all Billet-Bladet translations which are free.

Have I missed the Royal Family's attendance at Princess Nathalie's wedding?

Sorry to be so late in getting back to Atene. Frederick's wedding speech can be found in "Mary," by Karin Palshoj & Gitte Redder, page 185. It was the first book written about Mary and I especially love my copy because I bought it in Tasmania.

Those panama hats are expensive and the "in" summer hat these days. Todays New York Times had a lot of pictures of people in the city wearing them. Fads catch on quickly here and my local street fair had many cheaper varieties on sale today.

Mellie asked about the photo of P.Mary in the white evening gown with the corded trim. I wrote in Janusary that the picture appeared in the January 20th issue of "Hello" I have since come to think it was from the photo-shoot that appeared in "Vogue" four years ago, since the accipanying pictures...

I find this topic offensive--it is not anymore ethical than those reporters who dug into Mary's garbage in Tasmania. Who on earth wants their old, unflattering pictures displayed. I say, "Enough."

The New York Times of April 5th had pictures from the American-Scandinavian dinner; Mary looking great. Caroline Heering was also photographed. Mary's print stood out in the sea of predominately black.

The January 20th issue of "Hello" has a good article on Mary, AND a beautiful double page spread of her wearing a white evening gown and her wedding earrings. She looks very regal as she posed in the palace ballroom. The article also has 4 large pictures of M&F taken from the Australia "Vogue"...

That necklace Mary is wearing looks like the one she was given by Frederick on the birth of Christian. I thought, at the time, it was choking her, but this time it loooks as if the fit is more relaxed.

The card is a disappointment when I was hoping for a good recent picture of Isabella; however, perhaps M&F feel the children are already so exposed to cameras they wish to spare them a formal sitting.

royals.web-log.nl shows Mary in a beautiful black dress--chiffon top-- Does anyone know what function she and Frederik were attendin?

How is the renovation of the palace coming? Will M an F move in early in 2009?

In the Internet, today, Billad-Bladat has a most loving picture of Mary and Frederik and, if my elementary use of a Danish-English dictionary hasn't led me astray, I think it says they are expected to stay together for ever. Amen to thaT!

On the subject of books on the Danish Royals, I am interested in an English version of the one printed to coincide with Frederick's 40th birthday. I believe it is by Palshoj and Gitte. Can anyone give me help? As for pictures at Grastan, won't we see the family walk to the annual concert? M...

I presume a tiara can be considered an accessory, so I'd like to suggest that Mary get one more. Her wedding tiara was perfect for the veil and her ruby and diamond is simply gorgeous for the extremely formal occasion However, now that Marie has been given a beautiful tiara I think Mary needs...
