I loved your twinkling translation Mange mange tak, Muhler

[polyesco]

Thank you Muhler for the translation for this and all other articles.
Frederik and Mary certainly radiate self confidence and happiness.

It makes it so much more personal that it's Mary who takes the pictures instead of a pro photographer. She should be the royal house's new court fotograf

The DRF has published a new photo of Mary on the occasion of her turning 45 today: https://www.instagram.com/p/BQH1c33ggVh/

The photo has been on the DRF website for a couple of years now
Billed Bladet thinks it's new.

3 charming pictures to celebrate CP Mary's 45 years birthday yesterday

"CONGRATULATIONS and happy birthday to Denmark's Crown Princess Mary ❤️

She can today - on February 5 - celebrates her 45th birthday and while Denmark flakes for her, we wish her a lovely birthday.

To the woman that our Crown Prince fell totally in love with - and after 16 years - still not can keep his eyes or hands off. To the woman who with her heartly down-to-earth manner, her dutiful personality and with her genuine heartwarming charisma has taken the Danes by storm from day one.

We are sure Crown Prince Frederik, all four children and Ziggy have ensures birthday songs, gifts and lots of hugs today. Congratulations."

Congratulations on your first post?

Do you mean: Are we going to see Photos of M&F in Verbier this year? (Next week actually, that's the school winter holiday). - That remains to be seen.

[royalela]

Ah .... the school holidays. Yes, the first post and my bad English :)

Daily Mail has an article about the house the Donaldsons lived in when in Sydney.
John Donaldson was in the navy at the time and from time to time he and the family would live in this house when in Sydney.
That home has now been put up for sale: Home where Princess Mary used to stay to be auctioned | Daily Mail Online

John Donaldson was in the navy at some point? Never heard of it before.

Tonight at primetime (8pm) on DR1 contributes Crown Prince Frederik and Queen Margrethe in a new TV documentary about one of Denmark's great heroes, the polar explorer Knud Rasmussen.

Crown Prince Frederik is very familiar with the problems that Knud Rasmussen had along the way on his expeditions. The Crown Prince has participated in the Sirius Patrol in Greenland himself.

Maybe you can watch the programme here later:

ADDED:

Here you can enjoy a clip from the tv-programme from Crown Prince Frederik's participating in the 4 months Sirius Patrol in Greenland.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KANJpRy2RRg

You can really see the real Frederik. He was totally part of the group and totally himself, just Frederik. In the clip here it is Frederik's 32th birthday. Frederik has not told anything and the group does first find it out when the radio transmitter Crown Prince Frederik a birthday greeting. The group teases Frederik that he will soon be 40 years and that he looks a little half thick already. There was NO discrimination treatment, no title, and Frederik LOVED it. They lived of cheap canned food for 4 months and lived and slept in tents. And they all participated in the hard Sirius Patrol equally.

I recently posted this in the ''Royal Library'' sub-forum, but I'm not sure that anyone actually saw it, so I'll try re-posting it here. Note to moderators: if this is the wrong thread, move it to wherever you feel it's appropriate.

The ''Mary'' movie is back on YouTube and available for free viewing. Before, you had to go to a special subscription service to get it. The quality is not the best, faces are often cut out, and some of the dialogue is so fast you really have to strain to catch it. You may lose a few brain cells, but what the heck - it's a fun way to spend some time. Just type ''Mary the Making of a Princess 2015 - full movie'' into the search bar. Enjoy!

Summary of article in Billed Bladet #11, 2017.
Written by the Ulrik Ulriksen.

The very close friend of the DRF, the actress Ellen Hillingsøe, turned 50 on the 9th March. The next day she was celebrated by a little more than 100 guests.
Among the guests were Mary. Frederik could not attend as he was in South Korea for the IOC.
The party took place in Hellerup, a posh suburb north of Copenhagen.

There was dancing.
Apart from that, there are no further details, so I guess BB had no reporter outside.

[TLLK]

There was dancing.

Uh oh...say it ain't so.
