Crown Prince Frederik, Current Events Part 6: November 2015 - December 2017

[Muhler]

It's banter.

I believe banter and the odd joke is essential in keeping a forum inviting and to maintain a civil tone between the members.
People who chuckle don't fight.

Nor shall I say anything about flying home afterwards.

"This time it was again terrific for Crown Prince Frederik as the stone landed near the center with the highest points."
So he did very well under pressure. Excellent

"- In Odense, we are very pleased that Crown Prince Frederik show interest in our hosting of the World Cup trampoline. We are investing in major international sports events, which we can use as a springboard to talk about Fyn and the transformation of Odense into a modern city, we have launched, says Odense Mayor Anker Boye (S)."

"- It is important for us that the Crown Prince shows its recognition of our sport and the great work that lies in arranging an international championship, "said the chairman of GymDanmark, Flemming Knudsen, who hopes that many will follow Kronprinsens example and come visit the arena."

Just wondering, do females curl also?

Absolutely. The Swedish womens curling team won olympic gold 2006 and 2010 and silver 2014.

[Muhler]

Forgive my utter ignorance, trampoline I understand - and I guess you can call it a sport.
But tumbling and DMT? What on earth is that?
And there is a team-finals for men in double-mini?!?

Are anyone outside Uggerbøl seniors and Plumwater United doing such activities?

We learned on the main news at 19.00 that Frederik is on the job tonight.

Today the boss for Tour de France visited Copenhagen to be presented for a Danish plan for the tour to start in Copenhagen at some point within the next few years.
As a part of that visit (and presentation) the tour-boss (can't remember his name off hand) has been invited to dinner tonight at Marienborg, the official residence of the PM. And at that dinner is also Frederik, who as we know has a big interest in sports.

[Roskilde]

Thanks Muhler,
I was just about to log in to post the same after watching the news tonight.

Again, I do not understand why it isn't written in the calendar.

[Muhler]

Perhaps he was invited to add some extra weight to the arguments?

Thank you Grevinnan, that is very good to know as I like all women to participate in sports like their male counterparts do. I never heard of curling before, so this is new to me. Forgive my ignorance, it is good to learn something each day.

Good to read. And I do hope they put it on his calendar .

I remember a year ago, at a marathon that took place in Copenhagen the organizers thanked Frederik for his help in organizing and his role in getting Copenhagen to be the hosts.
It was the marathon where the previous Danish primer minister Helle, and Frederik started the race.

With more time I'll look for the article where they mention Frederik's work in bringing this race to Denmark . It's in a thread somewhere here
I'm sure he is very knowledgeable and it would be huge if the tour de France can start in Denmark
not surprised frederik is present, the sports people are highly happy with Frederik's support and work

And as we know Frederik is regent starting today till December 4th

[polyesco]

Article from billedbladet, it looks like Frederik received attention from some of the Australian athletes who are from Tasmania like Mary.
He also confirmed his kids also enjoy a trampoline at home.

"Several of the Australian athletes had heard that the royal couple and their four children enjoy Christmas in Australia this year.
It was very popular, and some of the Australian girls said they would look for Mary and Frederik to Tasmania in December."

DK has been trying for the start of Tour de France to start in Copenhagen in 2018.
That didn't quite succeed but the effort apparently made an impression. So perhaps 2020?
The plan seems to have three legs of the tour all over DK, before moving to France. That of course costs a lot of money, but also generate lots of money in return.

So a few days ago the tour-boss, Christian Prudhomme, went to DK and got the royal treatment - literally. Normally the DRF are not involved on this level, but Frederik is a sports enthusiasts and member of the IOC so he was brought in for a dinner in the evening in honor of Prudhomme.

DR video with Frederik being interviewed:

Q: What about your own children, do they have a trampoline in the backyard?
- They have the classic one, yes. They jump and come around and they actually goes a little to gymnastics. So it's very fun to watch.

[Roskilde]

As Frederik is Denmark's regent this week, he this morning held public audience at Christiansborg Palace at 10.00 am:

Offentlig audiens på Christiansborg Slot kl. 10.00 - Kongehuset

We never get pictures from these public audiences.

Very nice to hear about this. Frederik's work outside the official calendar.
Again hearing how he is involved from the beginning
"Crown Prince Frederik was present. Usually it is the case that the royal perhaps no one greets when the whole event takes place, but here it was all very early in the process, and it helped to emphasize the passion of it all,"

I remember in the Documentary on the royal family from 2010(i think) Kongehuset Indefra, we saw Christian and Isabella enjoying their trampoline. Here is some gifs of Christian and Isabella jumping around from this lovely blog

thank you Roskilde. as he is regent, so now he does the audiences by himself. They should release one or two from time to time like the other royals,

a few more pictures from the Trampoline event, were Frederik was handsome as usual with his lovely smile. Its lovely how he makes a note to greet the Australian athletes too

"Professors and violinists were among the 69 citizens who Monday attended the audience with Crown Prince Frederik to thank for orders, distinctions and medals.
The military, the music and the universities were represented among the 69 women and men who Monday met an audience with Crown Prince Frederik at Christiansborg Palace."

He usually attends but this year he and his family are having a unique and special Christmas vacation in Australia for the first time.

A recorded message?

That does indicate he and Mary are on their way to Australia.

Does anyone know how long it takes to fly to Australia? Including a stop for four more or less impatient children.

From Europe, it all depends which route they take. If they go via SE Asia, it's about 24-26 hours (that takes into account transit time).

Via the UAE (i.e. Dubai etc) will take a few hours off.

Yes and from their beautiful "map" room in their home.
When I saw that his dates as regent changed I suspected that he wouldn't attend opening day. Nice that he sent out a message
