Summary of article in Billed Bladet #22, 2014.
Written by our maritime reporter Ulrik Ulriksen.

Frederik was taking part in a Nordic Championships for small boats in Øresund (the strait between Sweden and Zealand) Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Along with two mates who ended up as number eight out of 24 contestants.

Thanks for sharing the photos of Frederik's sailing event. :flowers: The children looked like they were having a good time, Isabella in particular. :D I like how the children come along sometimes to support their parents in sporting events.
 
Delightful pic! Thanks for sharing the picture of Mary and the children cheering, Maggie.

I can tell Frederik, Mary and children had the best summer weather Saturday.

Oh yes! And Josephine as well (with her charming smile and obvious willpower) I bet Frederik wan't sleep peacefully at night when those two become teenage daughters at around the same time.

:flowers:Many Thanks Maggie for the wonderful pictures.....Bella sure is cheering her dad on, what a lively girl she is. Great pictures of the family together.
 
Here's an article and a 'real' picture: Mary and the children followed daddy Frederik

Kronprinsesse Mary og børnene fulgte farmand Frederik - Villabyerne

The article tells Mary and the children sailed in the boat from Amaliehaven (just behind Amalienborg) to Hellerup where the sailing regatta took place.

Christian already knows a lot about sailing. As previously written here on TRF he is sailing optimist dinghy in Skovshoved. We have seen around on Facebook that people have spotted Frederik out looking at the Christian sails. Frederik also started sailing optimist dinghy when he was little.

CP Frederik has been spotted at a regatta in France.
He haven't sail much the last years and back in May he sold his boat 'Nanoq'. I wonder if there's a special reason because I see his secretary Morten Roland Hansen is there too. As well as F&M's Chief of Court Christian Schønau to the far right.

Tuesday was Se og Hor exclusive chat with a tired but happy Crown Prince in St Tropez. Here he revealed that Tuesday's sailing was not as challenging as the previous day, but all in all it goes gun with the race:

- It was not as fun as yesterday, there was less wind yesterday, told the Crown Prince

The newspaper Politiken informs us that Frederik won a sailing competition off the french riviera: Kronprinsen vinder prestigefuld kapsejlads: »Der er ikke blevet givet ved dørene« - Politiken.dk

My knowledge, let alone interest for sailing is limited so bear with me.
Frederik had rented a TP52 boat and he was the captain for the fifteen man crew, who are apparently very competent.
As tactician Polyesco's Frederik had chosen an Australian, James Spithill.

In fact Frederik's boat was not among the favorites, but neverthless they won.
But it wasn't easy, they had to work for the result.

The race lasted a week and that explains Frederik's abscence lately. - Now we only need to learn where QMII has been hiding...
 
Thats great news that they Won! Especially as they weren't favourites.

I was also curious why we have not heard much about the sailing adventures of Crown Prince Frederik and after some searching realized he had sold Nanoq:
Tasmanian crew on Farr 40 campaign with ‘royal’ yacht
that is now doing very well indeed in her new Australian home!

I imagine he has not enough time in the day to do all the things he would like to do....:bang:

Article and picture about Frederik sailing in the south of France two weeks ago

Kronprins Frederik blev nummer to i St. Tropez | billedbladet.dk

it looks like he did this race last year, he doesn't seem to sail much these past few years so this might be what he concentrates on in sailing.
Seems he did pretty well last year and this year :flowers:

"The recent past has seen a bit of everything for Crown Prince Frederik, who has had lots of governmental and private tasks in his calendar. One of the most demanding was Les voiles-race in France."

Frederik's arrived in Oz for "Audi Hamilton Island Race Week" - photo on Instagram.

(Looks like "Southern Cloud" is also at Hamilton Island - maybe Frederik is staying on board again.)

Australian TV presenter Lisa Wilkinson is at Hamilton Island and has just posted that she is watching Frederik and Mary sailing on "Wild Oats".

(I thought Mary still had obligations in Denmark and wasn't here yet?)

Looks like a case of assuming too much. She has an official event on the calendar tomorrow Monday. If she is going after that, who knows...
 
Just saw Frederik on Australian news: Crown Prince Frederik arrived at Hamilton Island... Princess Mary is at home in Denmark with their children. There was also a very short interview.

So I guess it's safer to assume that Mary is not in Australia (yet). She may go after her engagement on 21st.

Frederik quoted as saying Mary's not coming. (She was going to, but changed her mind.)

And a photo of Frederik from today's sailing.

Daily Mail on Mary not being there: Prince Frederik sails solo at Hamilton Island Race Week | Daily Mail Online

According to this article in Daily Mail: Danish Crown Prince Frederik turned away from Brisbane bar | Daily Mail Online

Frederik and a number of friends were turned away from a bar in Brisbane, because they couldn't produce ID proving they were of legal age for drinking.
After a brief discussion the party returned fifteen minutes later with no less than seven police officers, who could confirm that they indeed were of legal age.

We're gonna hear more on that one, that's for sure! :D

Do members of the DRF not carry ID?

It's weird, I actually heard about this not long ago from friends living in Brisbane. Apparently they make you scan your ID before entering the bar or club and it's not so much about proving your age, (my friends are in their mid 30s), but rather about the owners being able to identify you if you cause trouble. I thought it seemed like not a bad idea but they tell me it's not been very popular, probably because of situations like Frederik's, only involving normal people who can't call on the police to back them up. :eek:
 
:lol: I guess he carries a diplomatic passport, but he may not be that interested in flaunting it to just anyone - who might call the press or worse...

So if he and his party can't get in anywhere in Brisbane due to this, I imagine Frederik PET officers called in the locals. Who indeed showed up in force. - Makes a refreshing diversion on an otherwise (hopefully) uneventful watch.

There is something about Australian bars and Frederik... :D

Indeed Muhler, three of the national TV channels - 7, 9 and ABC - had reports about it this morning, also in my Sydney newspaper. The most popular Queensland paper had it as the biggest story on their front page today.

Here's another article -

No Cookies | The Courier Mail

And camelot23ca is right - the ID is not about legal drinking age. It's a part of the lock-out laws introduced in many parts of Australia to try and curb the number of deaths from one-punch attacks that have killed many innocent people just passing by in the street.

The businesses that make money from out-of-control drunks are complaining, but the hospitals, police and families of victims, are all glad of these laws being bought in.

Also very strict laws now regarding bringing alcohol to the cricket, fire-works displays etc., to safeguard the general public from the drunk and angry.


And while the manager at the Jade Buddha was "running around like a lunatic" organising wait staff, Frederik went to the bar himself where he was asked "hey dude, what can I get you". (A "Dark and Stormy" apparently.)

It sounds a bit ridiculous but the bar staff were just doing their job. The Queensland law requires everyone the show appropriate ID after 10PM and scan it into the system upon entry. So it's not about whether the security believed you are of age, it's about documenting everyone's info in case anything happens.

If I were the bar manager I wouldn't want to be known giving exceptions to 'royals/celebrities' (and breaking the law) when the media finds out. So Freddie, bring your diplomatic passport with you next time :lol::lol::lol:
 
The reports I have heard is that Fred is exempt - because he has a diplomatic passport - but how to prove that without having one to produce I don't know.

More from the local papers. The main problem seems to be that the scanners at the door have problems scanning foreign ID papers, which is of course a problem, if you wish to have foreigners among your guests at such establishments. This is not the first time something like this has happened in regards to foreigners.

Enjoy the video in the Daily Mail article. ?
I think the owner is very pleased indeed! He's got more nation wide publicity than he could ever dream of.

Having a diplomatic passport does not mean you are not required to follow the laws of in this case Australia, it just means he immune from prosecution from the Australian authorities.

I read somewhere that the protections officers had apparently said that with a diplomatic passport Frederik was not subject to the ID laws. He is actually, and so is his entourage and PET officers. So whether the police officers have "interpreted the facts in a liberal way" or whether it's a misunderstanding remains to be seen.
But with several police officers around, I think it's fairly safe to say they can guarantee he won't cause trouble... ;)

The news has hit DK by now.
