Is that a tattoo on F's arm?

irishthanhy · #**323** 07-16-2010, 09:01 AM

Appears so.... I wonder what his tattoo is of.

Yes, just like his grandfather, Frederik IX, Crown Prince Frederik also has a number of tattoos.
Frederik IX wasn't called the "Sailor King" for nothing.

Yes, I noticed the body art myself. Not a fan.

Has anyone been to that beach? It doesn't look particularly warm but that family is always a treat to watch.

In the "Good Lord, is that all NAP thinks of?" category - Mary being 38 years old, does anyone believe that there will be a third child for them?

Not sure where to post this. Perhaps the moderators can advise?

A BT article http://www.bt.dk/royale/vennen-afsloerer-k...ejsehemmelighed
about Holger Foss, a close friend of Frederik, who is giving an interview in Børsen Weekend - a financial magazine.

In that article he tells about how he and Frederik cruised through USA after finishing at at Aarhus University.

Excerpts from: Vennen afslører Frederiks rejsehemmelighed - Friend reveals Frederik's travel secret. (*)
Written by Kenan Seeberg.

Today 42 years old Holger Foss, who is sales manager in Tieto Danmark, and still a close friend of the Crown Prince, reveals that Frederik lived at a hostel, when they both toured around in USA in an old worn Cadillac Convertible worth 2.500 $, after studying in Århus. (**)

- "We had the Cadillac shined up a bit, packed two rucksacks, two rolled up mattrasses and tape recorder, and a thick book with addresses of all sorts of people, we could on the way (***) and then we drove", tells Foss.

On the way trough USA the two friends among other places slept in the car, camped in a national park and spend the night at ordinary Americans, whom they met on the way.

- "We lived at hostels, at a ranch in Nevada, at a Mormon family in Utah, we camped in a national park, and we lived in the car at Graceland (you know: Elvis), because it rained so much", tells Holger Foss to Børsen Weekend.

The trip lasted a month and a half, where the Crown Prince was almost incognito. (****)

- "The good thing about both Århus and USA was that, people may have known who Frederik was, but that was it. Back then we had some free space", tells Holger Foss. (*****)

(*) Not that sensational. Details from that journey was also mentioned in a recent portrait book about Frederik.

(**) And later Harward, if I remember correctly.

(***) They stayed with some of these people.

(****) However they may have had to explain why two anonymous gentlemen from PET was always trailing Frederik around.

(*****) One of the reasons why Frederik enjoyed his time at Aarhus University was that even though he was naturally recogniced when he went to town, he was left alone.

You're welcome!

Here are some more pics of the family's day at the beach!

I think that on pic 10 CP Frederik is making a time-out "T" to let
the photographer(s) know that it's enough and that he/they should
leave after already having made several pics..

And pic 3 is really cute!

Great pictures iceflower! I think that's a good idea that Frederik put up the "time out" signal. Is it as hot in Denmark as the rest of Europe?

almee · #**329** 07-17-2010, 12:47 AM

What lovely pictures iceflower! Thank you so much for sharing them with us. They are a beautiful family.

**iceflower** · #**330** 07-17-2010, 02:34 AM

You are both most welcome

Katrianna, it's not as hot as in
other parts of Europe, around 20-25 °C (68-77°F), depending on
where in Denmark..Actually a perfect weather for a beach day with
kids..

CrownPrincess5 · #**331** 07-17-2010, 02:41 AM

Frederik has tattoos??

Lumutqueen · #**332** 07-17-2010, 06:52 AM

He has two tattoos I believe.

wartenberg7 · #**333** 07-17-2010, 10:24 AM

It's possible. That's not really that "old" anymore to have a child. Although when I had our last I was 37. Everytime I went in for a check up I would look down at the sheet that the nurse was recording blood pressure, etc, and for mother's age it said, "advanced."

Harold · #**338** 07-17-2010, 01:31 PM

Do they let random photographers get close to take photos or do they have a photo session at a specific time? In one of the last photos it looks like the Crown Prince is giving a "time out" signal.

Also, the story above about the Crown Prince and his friend traveling around America is interesting. I wonder what the rules are for foreign security services operating in the US? I know all national leaders bring their own security, but I thought the Secret Service always accompanied the foreign security staff, too.

I expect them to have at least 2 more kids, Mary has always expressed her view for a bigger family.
The water temp in Denmark is 19'C, to me that's warm but maybe not to people in the USA.
IMO, I love the tattoos on Frederik.
