This topic is called HRH Princess Alexandra's Birthday, The next celebration in the Royal Family ---- but that is not correct !
Prince Henrik's 70.birthday will be celebrated before Princess Alexandra's 40. birthday on 30.june and she will only have this as a private affair according to herself - you know Queen Margrethe, Prince Henrik, Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary will not return from their tour on Greenland until monday 5. july :)
Prince Henrik will be celebrated by a public concert at Tivoli thursday 10.june and a "private" dinner at Fredensborg palace friday 11.june - all members of the danish royal family will of course attend these celebration events.

I didn't know that Alexandra spoke only English growing up...but even if she hadn't, as she's from Hong Kong, she would speak Cantonese, not Chinese!
|
last sunday there was a TV show on danish DR 1 about princes Alexandre, due to her upcoming birthday. She only spoke danish to Nikolai and you actually heard her trying to learn a speach in mandarin (chinese) which she doesn't speak. She does speak cantonese however.

Wasn't it the other way around? She was training to do a speech in cantonese, while she already knows some mandarin???

That's what I like about her, she prefers to be low-profile and simple which is nice.

No, they didn't attend the wedding. Prince Joachim was the regent in Denmark during his mothers absence.

Given that Joachim's profession is a poor farmer, I wonder what sort of "danger pay" he gets when he has to act as regent ? :)

Well, he get his yearly appanage from the state, mayby it includes a "danger pay"  At least he doesn't have to rely solely on his income as a farmer

well most Royals know how to speak several languages...so perhaps they speak both Danish and Cantonese [i say Cantonese rather than Chinese because their mum is from Hong Kong where Cantonese is spoken and not Chinese and being born there i would know ^__^]

My understanding is that Nikolai and Felix speak English at home as that is the language their parents speak most frequently at home. But I believe that Nikolai goes to a Danish-speaking school.
I think they are too young (especially Felix!) to do interviews! And the only interviews I have seen with Alexandra and/or Joachim done in the presence of their children have been print interviews, so you couldn't hear them speak anyway.
|
Nikolai talks danish with an accent because he lives in south juttland where he goes in a local kindergarden.
I saw an interview with his mother where you hear him speak. he speaks like a boy that comes from south juttland

Your compliments on the monograms should go to HM Queen Margrethe - she's the artist :)
