Wow, everyone looks wonderfull, really! Mary stands out though (as usual ) But I really like Alexandra's outfit too. Marie looks lovely; I'm starting to like her.

And btw, I love the baby's name....Josephine Margaretha Victoria. Sounds like it should be the name from a baby girl from the Swedish royal family

[asturiana]

Mary looks like a beautiful princess. Thanks for pictures.

*I made this post in the topic, Mary and Frederik Current Events, but since members rarely venture into that particular sub-forum I thought I would re-post the latest article from this week's Billed Bladet (translated of course.)*

In the latest edition of Billed Bladet, there is an article about the Fleming christening that happened this past weekend. What makes this story ever more hilarious is the cheap obvious photoshop of Mary and Marie standing next to each other, with enourmous smiles on their faces, on the cover of the magazine (do the editors really believe their audience are that stupid?)

The journalist notes that Mary and Marie got along well and that everything is essentially sunshine and daisies. He/she goes on to note that Marie and Joachim arrived in his glamourous new black Maserati just in time to change their clothes for the christening (if you remember the couple arrived in casual clothes. Marie in her trademark jeans, peasent top with a short jacket. Joachim in tan Dockers and colored collar shirt.) Mary, Frederik, and Christian, on the other hand arrived some time prior (around lunchtime, I believe.) " Kronprinsparret arrived as early as ultimate p the morning lrdag together with their two brn ..."

Everyone was apparently all smiling "...both large and warmly, when they arrived in slotskirken." In the end, everything with the two couples is all warm and fuzzy.

Oh goodie.

Outrage after prostitute sits naked on royal throne

Royal security is under urgent review in Denmark after the publication of lurid photographs purporting to show a prostitute posing naked astride the thrones of Queen Margrethe II and her consort, Prince Henrik.

When someone has such little respect for themselves, I guess you can't expect them to hold any for the historical and cultural significance the 'backdrop", in question, possess.

[Regina]

I think the Queen and her staff should find another Royal Security right now.

[dazzling]

its just out of respect. is there any reason behind why such act took place?

[GlitteringTiaras]

I avoided posting that article when I first read it, Australian, for obvious reasons.

Why this person felt the need to do this is beyond me. It's absolutely disgusting and very disrespectful; not only towards the DRF, but essentially the people of Denmark.

[acdc1]

That's absolutely disgusting and disrespectful. She has absolutely no respect for her Queen, her country, or herself. How could she get in there? The Queen was probably not at Christiansborg at the time, since security would most likely have been up more.

I know that they need to use the thrones, but if it were me I wouldn't get near those things until they were very meticulously sanitized. That is so revolting! You don't know what kinds of things are on there now!

[amina1]

I'm a bit confusedhow did she get in, did the security let her.

I only posted it as it was current news with the family, I hope i didn't (and didn't mean to) offend anyone by posting it.

Anyway, it could have been a hoax, as quoted in the article 'Security staff cautioned yesterday that the seven photographs could have been the result of a computerised hoax — with the model’s image superimposed on the royal thrones — rather than a break-in at Christiansborg Palace in central Copenhagen'

[GlitteringTiaras]

No, not at all, Australian

I just wasn't sure if the original Danish article (and original photo that accompanied it) would be appropriate to post (which it isn't, but whatever...)

[dazzling]

Im guessing we all remember the Flemming christening which Frederik, Mary, Joachim & Marie atteneded. Well, here is the Mdeia wrap with a few great articles 'Mary and Marie partied together' from Billed Bladet 'With daddy to christening' from Billed Bladet again and finally 'Now Marie is part of the family' from B.T.
Enjoy!!
