Too cold to be outside??? Remember that scandianavian children are out of doors from the day they are born. They are taken for daily rides in their buggys and strollers. They take their naps in the buggy in a safe out door place. Scandinavians of all ages must be fairly sick before they spend a whole day indoors.

I don't think you are talking about little Prince Christina. "They are taken for daily rides in strollers!!!No not little Christian who spends his time inside his warm and cosy home!!!!So yes it is a little cold outside to have a ride with him but....

Actually it is (was) an unusually warm January in Denmark and Northern Germany.
Meteorologically spoken that's the reason for the storms.
But it will become very cold again.
So it wasn't that cold on that day, it was just very windy.

It still fuzzles my brain (despite the non-seriousness of Hello polls) that Britney scored 38% of the votes, Mary having 40%. . .
How could she get that close to beating Mary in elegance??????
Fuzzle, fuzzle, fuzzle.........

I am sorry I do think Mary is very elegant but I just can't take the poll seriously (or think it has any credibility) with Britney coming in as a close second as the most elegant....wt??!!

Yes, thinking the same thing. Mary is to me, clearly the most elegantly dressed princess in Europe currently, and consistently so. She at least deserves all these votes.
But Britney?!

I agree I cannot and refuse to believe Britney would come close to any of the princesses in elegance after the recent pictures of her that have appeared in the press!
I was also wondering about something I read. I read on an internet profile that before she married frederik she had to agree to certain things such as changin her religion. But the thing that i was wondering about was that she also has to relinquish her rights to the couple's children in the event of a divorce? Would this mean that the custody of Christian and the new arrival would automatically go to their father?

I don't think Mary had to change her religion; her own must be close to the lutheran faith in Denmark. Alexandra changed hers and was confirmed before the wedding as far as I remember.
As to custody of the children, I don't believe that Mary would lose that in the hopefully unlikely event of a divorce. Alexandra and Joachim today have joint custody of their children - but being who they are (heirs to the throne) neither mother would probably be allowed to take the children out of the country.
But isn't that the case for most of the royal couples with children? I don't suppose Maxima would be allowed to take her children - and heirs- with her to Argentina in case of a divorce either.

Mary did become a Luthernan, as she was a Presbyterian before she married Frederik.

Thanks, I wasn't sure if there was a formal switch. But she didn't have to be confirmed - the way Alexandra did - did she?

Lutheran and Anglican (Alex) are far more connected than Presbyterian and Lutheran so Mary should have done something surely to become a Lutheran.

I think he keeps taking them off, as all one year olds do. They are usually pinned or attached to the bottom of his sleeves, so he doesn't keep losing them, Juliana.
Cheers.

Confirmation isn't required to become Lutheran. Generally people do a membership "course" and have a service to confirm their new Lutheran faith.
