TV Interview with Crown Prince Frederik
Last night there was an interview with the Crown Prince on Danish television. Here he talked about being a father, turning 40, being a husband and of course his candidateship for IOC. I don't know if the interview has popped up on the Internet yet. But I can give some of the headliners of the interview.
Becoming a father was a big turning point. He and Mary take care of them in the morning, where they eat breakfast together. Also the idea of taking the kids with them on the cruise on Dannebrog, was to stay together, although they're not with them during the day, they're on the ship, when Frederik and Mary returns. It's important for him to be a dad for his kids.
The reason for him taking an education at the University and later becoming a Seal, was because he wanted to (he's the first royal, who's taken a college degree).
When it came to the IOC candidateship. He talked about the fascination about the Olympics and that he wanted kids to be more interested in the Olympics.
Shortly after the interview was shown, there was a debate on the Danish news chanel, where the interview was discussed, I didn't see it all. But the downline was that the guests wasn't impressed by the interview. Especially when it came to his candidateship for the IOC came up. They thought that he didn't make it more clear of what he wanted to do if he should be elected.
They were also worried for when he became a king. As he's having problems in speaking. He gets nervous as soon the camera is on and he can't articulate proberly.
Just found some clips from the interview.

Translation
Clip One - About turning 40.
Doesn't see it as a sharp corner, more like a round corner.
He keep himself young through exersice.
Goals before turning 50 - he has a young family and to get the two kids on the right track, more focus on sport and IOC
clip 2 - about what you can do.
You can do more than you think.
If you don't have your mind into it, you can't do it physically.
Be able to be in the place of a professional athlete as he's tried it himself, what it takes through his time as a Navy Seal.
Clip 3 - Becoming a father
They've changed his life in any possible way.
They had asked everyone they knew about becoming parents, when they expected Christian.
But when it came down to it, they had to make their own experiences.
Have time with the kids. Have them through the night and in the morning.
