you will excuse me, but i'm trying to make a point here relating to what's the difference of a "summer holiday photoshoot" as you call it, and any other done so shortly after the wedding. you seem to put so much emphasis on it that i may not seem to be grasping the difference on what constitutes critique to you (does winter, summer, spring really matter? )

i'm certainly not an expert on the danish family, but those photoshoots are something most members here saw. july 2004? i can't recall mentioning exact dates - simply because of the fact that i don't know them, so perhaps you know more than i do. i'd be happy to look for the photoshoot thread if you tell me which one is the july 2004 session that you mention (and if this is a conclusion from my 'couple of months' comment, i beg you to discard it, as 'a couple of months' is just an idiom, and by no means an exact date).

I have the feeling we are going in circles here. And I am not going to waste any more time on that subject which really isn't that important after all.
If you don't see the difference between 6 weeks and 6 months, then ok. I personally wouldn't call 6 months "so shortly after the wedding".
And if you think it's normal for a 2nd son to do a holiday photoshoot, ok again.
And if you have the feeling that Frederik&Mary have done as many photoshoots as Joachim&Marie in the same period of time (that's why I mentioned July 2004), then that's your feeling. But you haven't been able to give evidence.

[carlota]

yes, it's not important... whatever: it's so not normal of a second son to do a photoshoot in summer! (how dare he!)

coming back to topic, i see nothing wrong in doing the photoshoot. it might just be a nice gesture towards the press who must be interested in seeing them together after the wedding, a 'thank you' for letting them enjoy their honeymoon without much press around or a preventive idea to reduce the media interest in them. it was obviously simple (as i said before, no fancy things in it) and they didn't get any money for it. it doesn't seem altruistic or snotty, therefore i see nothing wrong and i see no reason by which it can annoy someone.

Joachim does a photo shoot every year when he is at Cayx, he did one last year with just his sons. When he was married to Alexandra they did a photoshoot together each year at Cayx, the last one in June 2004 ( they separated in September). It's a tradition with Joachim to do these photoshoots and he's just followed on with that tradition this year.

I hope that the next fotoshoot will be when Marie is actually doing some work. I am getting bored with all these lovey dovey fooling around shoots.

The next photoshoot is July 26 with the DRF.

Gee, first a long Honeymoon, then a "vacation" - because of the exhausting Honeymoon? All within two months of marriage! What a life!
Of course I'm jealous! I live in the USA and we get zilch vacation time every year!
I liked the Cayx photos - both Marie and Joachim look relaxed and natural, especially Joachim. However, Marie certainly plays to the camera - a lot of posing and playing to the camera on her part.
Do Fred and Mary ever visit Cayx? I've never seen photos of them there.
The kids are adorable and look happy. Love the little white dog!

[marmi]

Perhaps as she adjusts to the cameras she wont play to them as much...

Marie is so tanned! Noticed that Mary is too. Am so jealous - its been ten days since the sun has so much as been seen here in my neck of the woods.
It looks like this must have been a relatively casual affair, right?

Marie looks to have the type of skin that many French people have- that easily tans without too much sun at all, necessarily.

They're in Copenhagen at the moment, so Joachim can race in the Copenhagen Historic Grand Prix. Marie will present a trophy to the winner, although it is not recorded on the official calendar.

But it's winter in New Zealand, but summer in Denmark - that may make a difference, depending on where you live in NZ...

I can't seem to open the link. Is there any way that it could be reposted?

[isabelle 53]

can someone translate this article in a few words?

thanks

[biboquinhas]

I really hope that in September marie will start to have some Patronages of her own and that she will make some useful work on it, I will be very happy also to see her working once with Mary!

[principessa]

The German Boulevard magazine Bunte.de is asking, if Princess Marie pregnant is.

Here is the report:

Marie von Dänemark: Ist das ein Babybauch? - BUNTE

And here is a picture, that should show, that Marie's belly has grown.

[sneeuwklokje]

I don't think a pregnancy of only 2 months "shows", especially not if it's your first child. I think she gained a few pounds from all the good food on her honeymoon and holidays! Her overall appearance (face and arms) is a bit rounder.
