Mary has been riding horses all her life. She used to show horses when she was younger.

Magazine time!
In the latest edition of Billed Bladet, the author notes how Prince Christian is slowly being introduced to the world of horses, "Christian calm and calmly introduce[d] to for instance the pony at a quietly and cautions moderation."
Apparently, Frederik doesn't have good memories when he was first introduced to horses, "Frederik has a long way from they good memories about his first appointment by horse of its kind childhood." Today, however, Frederik allegedly has " conquered the childhood fear" and is now a "capable rider."
According to the journalist, many thanks should be given to Mary who is a confident and strong rider and because of this Christian should be more confident with horses (or something along those lines.) In the end, it is "...very important [to the Crown Prince couple] that their son is relaxed and artless when around as well as riding horses."
There's more to the article, but it's a bunch of fluff and hogwash. To see the latest photos of Mary, Christian, and Frederik at the stables in Gråsten please click here.
Bigger and better close-ups photos of Mary and Frederik riding at Gråsten from another one of my favorite Dutch blogs, Troonopvolgers.
On this week's cover (with a photo of the couple looking irritated and distant towards each other) of Her og Nu, the journalists are questioning Mary and Frederik's spending habits noting that, "The friends paying the feast Crown Prince couple's latest rsregnskab treats food for thought... the business about Frederik and Marys consumption..." Also, the cover notes something about 15 million Kroner and that it is not enough for the couple since they believe their friends are paying for everything (the authors believe the couple are mooching off their friends who are far wealthier) and receiving free vacation trips (eluding to their Croatian holiday, I believe.) Read and look at the cover article you're bored.
Finally, Se og Hor, has nothing new to report. Yet. They are still extremely fascinated by the naked prostitute posing, rather straddling, on the Danish throne and in other places within the palace.

Thank you, Glittering Tiaras, for your good and current input, especially today for the translation of the article in Billed Bladet. I tried to tramnslate it with the 3rd and largest of my Danish dictionaries with much frustration and a lot of laughs when I discovered my mistakes.

Can't wait to see them back on duty

Princess effect beefs up pork sales
Crown Princess Mary is giving Danish pork a marketing boost in Australia, where industry sales have more than doubled over the past year.
In the first three months of 2007, Australia imported DKK 292 million worth of pork from Denmark, compared with DKK 125 million in 2006. The total Danish pork export ‘Down Under’ last year totalled DKK 594 million, but at the current pace 2007 sales will reach nearly DKK 1 billion

Thank you for the pictures! Christian is the most adorable little, he's serious even on the playground. He seems distracted by the cameras looking at him. I can't get enough of this little guy, he's SO cute!

Christian looked so adorable! Is this the same park they went to when Princess Alexia was up there about a year ago with her kids?

Such a sweet family. Christian is absolutely precious, I love his chubby cheeks. I think that Alexandra of Berleberg and Richard and Ingrid were there too, weren't they?

thanks for all the wonderful pics. they seem to be such a happy "normal" family and i love seeing them out having fun, not just walking, waving, getting in a car. lilleprinc is the cutest little man in his jean and tennis shoes with his sweater and shirt on just like his dad. i could just eat him up with butter on toast, he's so sweet.
