Frederik is ageing like fine wine!  A lovely interview.

The Danes have no doubt: Crown Prince Frederik becomes a good king
"This is what a majority of Danes believe, at least in a new YouGov study. Asked 'To what extent do you think Crown Prince Frederick will be a good king?' 49 per cent answered 'to a very high degree', while 26 per cent of respondents answered 'to a large extent'."

CP Frederik visit to a hairdresser this morning:
"I'm probably not the only one who has been a hairdresser today.
Fortunately, it is now possible for hairdressers and other smaller companies and stores to stay open on top of a long shutdown.
I would like to thank everyone for being so adaptable and for helping keep the wheels going for a period that requires a lot of us all."

Yes, some service businesses have opened today.
I had a vetting process with my dentist on the phone today before she would take me next month though. And only then because I can sense something that is not quite right with a tooth of mine. And that's fine with me.
It's a heck of a process for the dentist, because they are required to basically wrap their patients in protective gear both for the sake of the patient and themselves.

What a fun way to support the reopening of small businesses in Denmark! A picture at the hairdresser.
Great idea.

The message is important

Still, a typical 'guy's thing . . . his new haircut makes him look like he told the Barber "to just cut it all off" which, to be honest is probably what a lot of men said an more than a few women too.
Covid hair is probably "a thing" as so many ended up looking delightfully shaggy. Me, since I seem to turn over so often, I look like a chook, flat at the back and sides and standing straight up on top!

Would that be so the children have more room to play? I assume it will increase travel time to and from school for Josephine and Vincent.

It's unlikely Isabella and Christian will start in school again this side of the summer holiday starting in late June.
It's not that much longer for Josephine and Vincent to be driven to and from school.
M&F still mainly work from home.
And they can quietly pop over to see QMII. Even in accordance with the strictest interpretation of doing so: Outside, maintaining a distance.

Lovely to hear Frederik, Mary and children (and Grace) move ‘home to’ Kancellihuset during these times.
It is a lovely house in wonderful green nature, and where Frederik and Mary began their life

Makes sense. A little more outside room and closer to the Queen. Plus with a new riding ring I'm sure they will enjoy

Must be nice! The pool area still needs a facelift though

Thanks Polyesco.
That deserves a summary.
The court has confirmed that it is the intention of M&F to take up residence at Kancellihuset for periods at a time, not just the occasional visit.
(So I guess they will make it their summer residence, until they take over Fredensborg at some point.)
They will stay there for the coming months. (Presumably until late summer.)
The building is from 1731.
There are almost 30 rooms.
Six living rooms, three dining rooms and a number of bedrooms, childrens bedrooms and guestrooms.
the ground floor is 700 square meters, the first floor 450 square meters.
- IIRC their residence at Amalienborg is some 2.000 square meters.
To put it into perspective: the average house for a family of four here in DK is typically between 120-160 square meters.
The pool in the garden will no doubt be a welcome diversion in the summer. Because depending on the situation M&F may not move that much around this summer. Usually they go to the area around Tisvildeleje, not that far from Fredensborg. Then to Skagen and Trend, before going to Gråsten and sometimes a trip abroad as well.

I remember Mary some years ago took a driver's license to ride a horse trailer. We know Frederik and Mary likes to do the things themselves.
We have had great Spring weather the last weeks.
Now we have some days with rain all day.
It must be a joy for Mary that Isabella and Josephine are as fond of horses as their mother. It gives you so many good hours when you have shared hobbies with your children. We know that Mary herself as a child spent a lot of time on horses with her mother.
Moving to Kancellihuset, and during this ‘stay at home’ time during the corona, plus the four kids aren’t so small anymore, must do Mary now have more free time for her big hobby again: Horses. It’s great.

Photo taken by Mary
Frederik lighting the candle for the anniversary
"It is the evening on the 75th anniversary of the announcement*of Denmark's liberation, and at Fredensborg Palace and Amalienborg, Her Majesty the Queen has lit candles in the windows.*In the Chancellory House, the Crown Prince couple, together with the children, also lit candles on this special May evening.*
The lights are lit to mark the Danish liberation from the German occupation in 1945.
The announcement of the German surrender came on the evening of May 4, but finally came into force the day after 8:00."
