Well done MaggieDenmark! Great photos and first hand reporting. When you said you were shaken-well I was the same after my encounter last year. I bet you keep this in your memories forever!!:smile:

Congratulations to Albert and Charlene. Another wonderful time of their lives is about to be shared.

Thank you Roskilde for letting us know where the event of Mary shedding a tear was. I knew it wouldn't have had any thing to do with Frederik's night out. The good thing is that the magazine in question wouldn't have had any real sales increase because it really wouldn't be/isn't a big story...

Thank you everyone who posted the birthday galleries and photos of M and children at the sailing competition. Isabella looked like she was having fun. Wait until she is a teenager:smile:

I am trying to get a link but can't find them on the magazine website. I am wondering if the photos were from an engagement Mary attended a few months back and was a bit teary but I can't remember the month. I am meant to be packing up our house to move so forgive me for being distracted. TRF is...

Firstly polyesco, yes it is a gossip magazine but less outrageous than some of the U.S. "tabloids". Womans Day and New Idea used to be reputable "womens" mags i.e. knitting pattens, respectful royal coverage of the BRF, recipes and wholesome stories. That started to change in the 80s and now I...

Mills and Boon. My late grandmother and mother used to read them. Think Barbara Cartland and you are not far off!

I don't know the reporter so maybe she was from a DK network? Re: coverage here. I don't get tabloid papers or watch commercial TV (I'm boring I know!) but I do check the news websites and there has been a smattering of coverage. The largest coverage was in the two main weekly magazines - a...

What gorgeous photos. I had hoped for one or two portraits to be released. Josephine is going to be a heart breaker when she is older but all the children look fantastic in the photos (Ziggy too!). A lovely surprise.

Thank you polyesco and Roskilde. From what I can make out, her birth date is 26th December 1965. I have to double check google but I think this would be correct. If so, Danish members would it seem unlikely that Mary would be able to travel away from DK over Christmas and the New Years...

Roskilde, I forgot to write that! Thank you for being on the ball. The secret appears to be that Mary will be coming to Australia next year for her sister Jane's 50th birthday party. Not an official visit. Leanne has commented at various times and seems to do so without causing a rift...

Both main weekly magazines feature M&F's 10th wedding anniversary. Mary & Fred: A decade of love : Woman's Day Included in the paper version is a 16 page souvenir booklet. https://au.lifestyle.yahoo.com/new-idea/ In the New Idea Mary's brother and sister in law Leanne talk about how loving...

Roskilde, thank you for sharing your experience and photos of your day seeing Mary. I have been rather caught up following "some other royal visitors;)" here in Australia and I missed your post. Well done. My family still look back with fond memories of when we met M&F as I am sure you will too.

Yes William was a terror even at preschool. From the top of my head I remember him threatening another child along the lines of "when I'm King I will have your head chopped off" or similar. My children on school holidays still and my brain frazzled! Even if you can find footage on YouTube of...

A royal tour lift out in today's tabloid The Telegraph in New South Wales. A lengthy tour article on it's website too: No Cookies | thetelegraph.com.au Makes some comparison's with the Wales' and The Queen on previous tours.

polyesco and Tiggersk8 I am glad you appreciated the link. Muhler. I think you get the feeling from this thread :smile: The young family was enormously popular and has re-energised the feeling towards the BRF. I think the ties to the BRF are much appreciated and valued and as no real...

Someone yesterday had asked about Gallipoli and ANZAC day. Here is a letter from a soldier giving a first hand account. It may give a little insight into the significance of the landings: Gallipoli eyewitness: World War I soldier Sydney Skinner's letter to parents provides vivid account of...

Photo from the Dawn Service and article: Thousands gather for the Anzac Day dawn service, joined by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge On a different note Catherine looked beautiful last night. Lovely to see her with her hair up. She seemed very tired in some photos which isn't surprising given...

Govenor General's reception 6.10pm tonight for those who asked. Live coverage and photos of Parliament House event: http://www.canberratimes.com.au/lifestyle/royal-tour-2014-prince-william-and-catherine-duchess-of-cambridge-visit-canberra-20140423-373g2.html

Muhler, Thank you for your links.:smile: It is remarkable as you say for DK to have such coverage for another RF. The family has been very well received. Lots of media coverage and a regeneration of goodwill for the BRF as a consequence. The new generation of royalty i.e. William, Catherine and...

A link below for ABC website: Royal visit: Adelaide prepares to welcome Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) A few good links in it and it also mentions that 50,000 people are expected to see the Royal couple today. Amazing number...

Thank you all for the lovely links and video of Uluru. I have walked part the way around the base myself at this time of year and it is beautiful. Flies aplenty though! The couple are doing a wonderful job and the tour has been a success in my opinion. I just hope that this thread doesn't...

Sbs Here is a link to SBS, Australian TV channel which has a focus on international programs, news etc. Their Royal Tour coverage on the internet is quite good. Worth a look anyway: Royal tour: Royals' day five in Australia | SBS News Bring on Canberra!

Yes, like flushing an expensive shoe down the toilet and also pressing the security button!
