Thanks, Iceflower.

I thought that Teletubby outfit had been long since burned and buried.

I'm genuinely surprised more conspiracy theories haven't been based on that outfit.

I rather think it'll outlive Margrethe and will one day be a popular museum object

Thank you, Iceflower.

PH did a surprise visit to the steam-screw frigate Jutland Tuesday afternoon.
Along with a few friends he showed up unannounced and took them for a tour of the frigate. PH is patron for the ship.
Overraskelse i Ebeltoft: Pludselig dukkede Prins Henrik op - Syddjurs | amtsavisen.dk

The frigate Jutland was in the mid 1800's a hybrid, a sailing ship that was also driven by steam and a screw. She was as such hyper-modern for her time.
She saw action against a combined Austrian-Prussian flotilla during the Second Schleswigan war in 1864. And also helped cover the Danish army's retreat during the battle of Als the same year.
She sure is a beauty, eh?

PH has been back on the job.

Summary of article in Billed Bladet #14, 2016.
Written by Trine Larsen.

Monday he received a delegation of pupils from Lycée International de Saint-Germain-en-Laye at Fredensborg.
The aim of the school is to give Danish students and French-Danish students in France the opportunity to learn about Danish culture and language. And that they told PH about.
Back in 2014 QMII and PH's Foundation presented the school with a grant and this delegation went to thank PH for that and presenting him with a book about the history of the school.

The Danish Embassy in London has reported an event that QMII attended during her recent visit to the city:

I post it here - the mods can move it if it's wrong thread.

t might be a scene from a fairy tale. The Queen has already placed the bird’s head upon her own. Now, with a chesty laugh, she attaches the wings.

She lifts them and they flap – fragile, diaphanous things that catch the spring light coming in through the windows. She chuckles again.

‘I made them long ago, for an amateur performance,’ she says. ‘A blue tit and a great tit.’ Her English is like this: exquisite and particular, the product of the University of Cambridge and the LSE (as well as the Sorbonne and Aarhus).

She lowers the wings with a nostalgic shake of the head and I picture her as a girl, fashioning the costumes for a palace masque.

Queen Margrethe, now a white-haired 75 and the head of Europe’s oldest monarchy, is sitting in one of the unlovely fitting rooms of the Royal Opera House, choosing fabrics.

At her side is Allan Watkins, the veteran costume designer, and a tailor who’ll help turn the Queen’s vivid, colour-drenched sketches into ballet costumes.
