Is there a transcript or video of the press conference anywhere? Thanks. And is she right outside the room where Fred and Mary's wedding ball was held? The floor looks familiar.

otherwise, i'm very happy we will see the dutch royals in denmark. i believe mette marit would not come because of neck problems. let's hope other royal families confirm their attendance!

The reason they banned them from demonstration was that the feared that pro-royalists would attack them.

I just love Margrethe and Henrik as a couple!! I don't if it has already been posted here but look at this picture. Aren't they just adorable? http://picture.belga.be/belgapicture...v/19678554.jpg

I'm already looking forward to the 16th... and all the accompanying celebrations... Margrethe is some kind of perfect Queen in my eyes.

Aww...that's a really sweet picture, Anne-fan. There's a video of all that online:

Aww... Such a gorgeous shot of them! Thanks for sharing it with us, Anne-Fan! I agree with you as she's my favorite Queen and I think, though there perhaps have been some difficulties within the last years, Margrethe and Henrik are still very fond of each other and it's always lovely to look at them. Am looking forward to all the celebrations, too!

That's true, to me they're some kind of proof that love can survive difficult ups and downs

Does anybody know wether the celebrations will be shown on television? Well except the danishTV of course. I'd like to see it.... but the DRF is probably too unimportant to the Germans...
