In honor of Frederik's and Mary's official trip to Japan, the DRF website has a gallery of the Crown Prince Couple's other official visits together .
"Throughout the years, Crown Prince Couple has been at the forefront of a number of business and cultural advancements throughout the world to focus on some of the areas where Denmark is strong. This gallery brings pictures of some of the Crown Prince's recent cultural and business advances."

Not included many of the solo official visits Mary and Frederik take part in, like Frederik's trip to China a few weeks ago.

I much prefer this clean shaven CP Frederik!

It’s the Danish school children's autumn holiday this week - and according to a Danish magazine F&M spend a private autumn holiday with their children in the hunting lodge in Trend, North Jutland. As usual.
They packed their car, children and Grace and drove up there after they landed from Japan. Thus, they celebrated Christians' birthday in Trend

They certainly seem to love the place in Trend. I assume it’s a very outdoorsy sort of holiday - biking, hiking, etc?

 Very much so.
Plenty of opportunities for walks, jogging, riding mountain bikes, bird-spotting (Frederik is fond of teaching his children about the wildlife) - and getting soaked! - Because it's raining and grey weather.
But when the sun is shining the woods are beautiful at this time of year.

A lot of the area around Trend is plantation, for foresting, mainly fir and pine, but also other tree sorts: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...lerup_Skov.jpg

It's also season for mushrooms and there are many this year. But some are dangerous. A refugee family from Congo went out and picked the wrong mushrooms, so far tragically two from that family, aged 5 and 15, have died.

Daylight is down to 10 hours now, but it's still pretty warm for October, some 12-16 degrees C (52-59 F) at noon.
In two at most three weeks from now the trees will be naked and in only two months daylight will be down to 6 hours.

Thank you for sharing more tidbits about Trend, Muhler. It looks like a beautiful place and seems like a perfect destination for the CP family! I hope Christian had a lovely birthday there.

I can see why the Crown Prince family loves Trend, it's beautiful, unspoiled and very private. A spot to get away from modern life.

You are welcome.
Truth to be told the photos are not necessarily from Trend, but they look like the area around Trend. I've been there on several occasions.
I wrote more about Trend and surroundings in this post: http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...ml#post1901325
This description is however mostly about how it looks during the summer. But Trend really is a lovely spot, so no wonder M&F are fond of going there.
And it's likely they will visit Birkelse Gods and Frijsenborg Slot, while they are at Trend. They've got friends living there.
Both these places are described in the general residences thread BTW.

Thanks again Muhler. I'll take a read of your post when I have more time on my hands!

Yesterday, Crown Princess Mary took this beautiful picture of Grace and shared it on the DRF’s Instagram:

Love the many pictures Mary takes and shares with us - give a lovely relaxed in-sight, a modern Crown Prinsess and make you feel the person behind the title

Yes she does and just look at Grace, she is one very happy dog for that smile goes from ear to ear and lights up those gorgeous eyes. I am a huge dog lover and when dogs smile like that you know they are well loved and cherished in their home.
One thing about Mary, she works all the time, she is one very hard working crown princess for her adopted country and she has the best looking hubby out there, and still she finds time to photography. Maybe she could in her spare time write a book to tell all of us who think we have little time how she does it.

Yes, she's hardworking! A fulltime job and 4 children...
How she does it? She never has to cook, or get the groceries, or clean the house, or try to find babysitters, or iron her clothes before she leaves, or drive to her destination, ... And countless other perks.
That's where she saves time and energy to walk the dog and take photos. She's a princess after all! :-)

A new beautiful picture from Mary out walking with Grace this evening and seeing the sun going down over Copenhagen:
The sun has just went down so the picture is brand new. Love her beautiful pictures and that she shares them with us on the DRF’s Instagram

And today the sun set at 16.07, so the day is down to eight hours. In a month it'll be down to around six hours of daylight.
