that is a very cute picture. So much joy!
Glad they shared this picture with us. After learning about this anniversary tradition in Denmark, I was hoping to see a photo of the CP couple.

thank you Roskilde for all the links, and Muhler for the BB scans as always

love the DRF gallery from the last 12 and half years.
and this one from last summer, after horseback riding an activity they enjoy together. and ziggy too

The programme starts in an hour from this is posted. Bit IMO absolutely not worth watching.

Right now they are showing clips from M&F's wedding.

At 06.30 it would still have been night here in DK at this time of year.

So nice they posted a picture from the morning wakening

is that a customary way to celebrate the copper anniversary in denmark then (to wake up the couple)? or just what their friends prepared for them? what is the usual way to celebrate it?

it looks like christian is dressed with outdoor wear so i wonder if their friends waited for them outside their house?

[Muhler]

Yes, there are a number of traditions. I wrote about it here: http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...ml#post1930020
I think that answer most of your questions.

I had a closer look at the photo released this morning: Morning
It is obviously a basement-door.

Now studying Amalienborg I think I have deduced exactly what door. See here: Amalienborg and alternative doors.
The door marked A is located beneath M&F's bedroom windows and if possible, you traditionally gather outside the bedroom window.
A third option could have been the corresponding door at the inner court at the opposite end of the building, but that's far away from M&F's bedroom.

such interesting traditions! thanks mulher for explaining us. i am not aware of other countries having traditional ways of celebrating anniversaries, so it is always interesting to hear about these very specific traditions all over the world. and seeing royalty in their pijamas/bedrobes - now, that's a first!

[Muhler]

You are welcome, Carlota

How do you celebrate such anniversaries in Australia? Alternatively Tasmania, if they have special traditions there.
Or in Scotland? Since Mary's family has their roots there.

i can't comment on australia as i am not aussie but in the time i lived in UK, i was not made aware of any particular celebrations during anniversaries, apart from the usual (parties, dinners, a nice holiday, or the like). let's see what others have to add to that!

And some nice photos from BT: Alle husker øjeblikket for 12 og et halvt år siden: Derfor er Frederik og Mary så perfekte sammen

Here is BB's booklet celebrating M&F's copper anniversary, part one:
BB celebrating M&F's copper anniversary

As you can tell from the table of contents, this covers the events prior to the wedding and the wedding itself.
Just ask if you have questions to the text, but it should be pretty obvious to hardcore royal watchers.

We shall see this Thursday what they will put in part two.

Great photos and links, thank you so much!
I just was wondering if in their wedding it was some kind show, singers, or other kind of entertaining. ?
I can see by the photos all down to earth considering this is a Royal Wedding. From the tables, the dance together, we can see they had an extreme cake!...... but a lot of guests.......
I had been in Weddings that goe beyond Royals, so I was wondering in this case how was?

[Muhler]

BB has an account and a video from the morning of the copper anniversary: KGL KOBBERBRYLLUP: Til morgensang hos kronprinsparret | BILLED-BLADET

The first to show up and "sneak" into the garden, was the Music Corps of the Royal Lifeguard.
They played the tune: Det er så yndigt at følges ad - It's so lovely to go together - which is also a favorite at such occasions.

Family and friends also "sneaked" into the garden, guided by a security man, who presumably unlocked the door.
And as you can tell from the video, M&F must have appeared in their bedroom window as is tradition, to general cheering and flashlights.
The crowd also sang: Svantes lykkelige dag - Svante's happy day - a very nice song about seeing and finding happiness in the small and day to day things in life.
I think the third and probably last song was: Og så gir' de nok en lille en = And then they'll probably buy us a a wee dram (loosely translated) - as a little hint: Where's the coffee, buns and schnapps?

After 1½ hour the whole thing ended.

The portal would have been made, again by family and friends - or erected by professionals, but at least decorated by family and friends in the evening before the event. - And of course M&F wouldn't have noticed anything at all...

Thank you everyone who posted photos and links. How nice to learn about this lovely tradition. Every wedding anniversary is precious. My husband and I had a private celebration for our 25th, and he didn't live long enough for us to celebrate our 50th, so I envy those who can celebrate these special times.

I noticed Frederik isn't wearing his collar - I wonder if that was just for the photo or if his neck has already healed.

[polyesco]

what a lovely video of family and friends arriving, and hearing the music. what a lovely tradition. were you right about the location Muhler?

I see someone in the group bringing a "Sydney 2000" bag from the Olympics, what a nice detail!

DR tonight:

On the occasion of the Crown Prince Couple's copper wedding sends DR tonight at. 20:00 the programme: "Frederik and Mary - 12½ years with the Crown Prince Couple."
Watch and see the many wonderful moments from the Crown Prince Couple's 12½ years as a married couple - and as parents.

You can watch it online here (start right now):

As always:
"Kanalen kan ikke afspillesBefinder du dig udenfor Danmark eller sidder på en computer med udenlandsk ip-adresse, kan problemet skyldes, at vi desværre ikke har rettighederne til at vise kanalen i udlandet. Problemet kan også skyldes, at vi ikke har rettighederne til at vise den nuværende udsendelse på DR TV."

[Muhler]

As can be expected from DR1 it was a balanced, yet positive, portrait of M&F.

Eventually the programme will be uploaded in the DR1 archive, and as such can be seen outside DK.
You can put it on mute and just enjoy the clips, which were very much a timeline of events since they got engaged.

Alas, I have quite some work to do, so if someone else will write a more detailed review, please do.

Probably an expensive piece of jewellery from Frederik
- and some warm, home-knitted mittens from Mary.
That should keep everyone happy...

[Roskilde]

A very good, touching and honest one hour programme following F&M from their beginning to now. New clips and interview with F&M and the many beloved little moments with the Crown Prince couple was shown. As expected from the serious DR who always delivers good programmes.

DR has published the programme online now:

I don't know if you can watch it outside Denmark, though.

Yes we can watch it. Thank you!

I can see it, hopefully I can finish it later today.
Any insights on what was said would be appreciated
