I haven't seen any individual pictures of her but she was at the 1st night's gala.Her gown was lovely on the video I saw. It was a similar color of Her Majesty's beautiful red gown but in a Grecian style.

I saw on Tumblr a Gif of Isabella running to say hello to her Godmother Queen Mathilde of Belgium. I'd only seen the still photo of Isabella and Mathilde. What a delight to Isabella's enthusiasm to see Mathlde.

Prince Henrik was too ill to attend his wife's birthday parties but over the weekend he went to Venice on his own.

Another tantrum or a miracle recovery??

Not good. Apart from the birthday he also cancelled an official event Friday afternoon.

Well, at least we know he has fully recovered from his flu...

ADDED: The news is spreading like wildfire! http://www.dr.dk/Nyheder/Indland/201...0420125501.htm
Weelll, timing and stuff and perhaps people would be forgiven for wondering why he has recovered enough to go to Italy but not enough to attend a couple of hours of dinner.
But I won't, I'm merely pleased he doesn't seem in danger of having contracted pneumonia or something similar after his flu.

Me too - but I thought that for an 80 year old it all went very quickly between bedridden with flu and holiday in Venice.

The Queen was still smiling all the time , was it for the pictures ??
With Royal smiles we never know !

Ph is fortunate in having a very loving and overbearing wife.
I fear my wife would tear off my ears if I did something similar.

No, I suspect this is a case of stereotypical "male-flu"...
And while far from all of us are deadly ill when we contract flu there are admittedly some who are, and who recover almost instantly when the attention... eh, I mean when the flu is over.
And PH does indeed have a history, also in interviews, to feel a wee bit sorry for himself when he's a bit under the weather.

[Duke of Marmalade]

He certainly knows that it looks bad but he couldn't care less!!

When I first heard flu in a man nearly 81, who does not appear to have taken he best care of himself, I was alarmed - I don't see how he recovered from bona-fide flu so quickly.

That's right - if he were truly sick last week, and he might have been, most of us would save our family embarrassment and decide to lie low for another week even if we did recover overnight.


I wonder as he ages we are going to see more of this, and more Palace covering for him. "Oh, did we say flu... we really meant flew, yes, yes, he flew to Italy."

[Frelinghighness]

Surely the queen would know about this. It just makes him look bad and me feel sorry for her.

[amaryllus]

She knows him pretty well by now and his quirks and drama... She also knows the warmer loving funny side we would not be party to and it balences out.

[Muhler]

Methinks the reports about PH's flu were slightly exaggerated... and it was more likely (and fortunately) merely a common cold.
- Mind you a cold can feel (almost) as fatal... eh, as bad as a flu.
Just as a cough can almost feel as bad a pneumonia.

I must admit I was slightly concerned, because at age 80 a flu is no joke, but fortunately is seems like PH is back in form and ready to entertain us for a good while more.

And now for something merrier. BB has put up a number of videos from the celebrations, nicely categorized: Billed Bladet – Danmarks Royale TV | Tag :dronningmargrethe
