Mary, Vincent and Josephine are in these hours been spotted in Legoland

Ekstra Bladet - Mary på klodset besøg

It is a reader from Ekstra Bladet who has send the picture, so Ekstrabladet can't tell much, but I guess that Frederik runs around and try wild roller coasters with Christian and Isabella and the other older children

While Mary most likely having fun with Vincent og Josephine in some more child-friendly rides like these ones:

Is Isabella blowing a kiss to the crowd in #57?

Here is another video Dänische Royals: Familientreffen in den Sommerferien - Royal - People - Unterhaltung - Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen

What a wonderful video. Near the end you can hear Henrik the Older call out "Henri, Henri!" to get Henrik the Younger to come over to him

It's interesting, the Prince Consort seems to have several names amongst his grandchildren. Vincent called him "Papi" where Isabella, when giving him a bear hug, seemed to call him "Grandpapa".

Thanks iceflower

The picture definitely made me smile

They all seem to have a blast. Josephine's expressions is just

That is a lovely picture!
Who is the blonde girl beside Christian? I wondered if it was Countess Ingrid Von Pfeil und Klein but not sure she is the right age.

Muhler · #**730** 07-30-2013, 10:35 AM

A funny HQ pic from the changing of the guards: http://kungligabarnbloggen.svenskdam...7/grasten3.jpg

Isabella appears to be standing to attention, while Vincent and Josephine are hovering - and that at the exact same time and to the exact same height. They sure are twins!
Christian seems to be inspecting the events with the critical eye of a colonel. He only needs a monocle.

A few more HQ pics from Svensk Damtidning (there are 20 in total, so there are more where these came from):

Bella hugging papy's belly: http://kungligabarnbloggen.svenskdam...ten-farfar.jpg

Bigsis Bella minus a few teeth and Vincent: http://kungligabarnbloggen.svenskdam.../grasten-1.jpg

It really is unfair that the other children will also use the swing. Josephine as you know, wasn't the only one who became sad: http://svenskdam.se/files/2013/07/ma...athena-ste.jpg

That is Ingrid

Christian has grown a lot, it looks like they're right about the same height.

These are the best pictures! I love the one of Isabella hugging the belly:) She is really growing up, isn't she?

Thank Muhler

. I see in this picture that Vincent has the same hand placement on his dad.

Wow! what a totally different picture of the day from the edited video above to the The Royal Order of Sartorial Splendorone I saw?Poor Mary, stuck with Josephine, who appeared to be having a terrible twos the entire time. She certainly deserved a couple of aquavits after this, trying to appear pleasant and dealing with an impossible 2 year old at the same time.

Muhler · #**736** 07-31-2013, 03:42 AM

Oh well, we've all been there. A sulking teenager is worse, so there is more to come.
Isabella could have her moments too, yet she has turned out to be a sweet wellbehaved girl.
In the old days people used to soak a rag in schnapps and let the kids suckle on it if they were too... loud. If they continued to cry after a while then the parents knew something was genuinely wrong. Not so sure it was such a good idea, but I've been tempted to try.
And there have been times where I've been thinking: We could have had a Mercedes instead of those two...

My pleasure, dbarn67

ADDED: And for something much less pleasant. http://www.bt.dk/danmark/dronningen-...ivgarders-doed

A couple of days ago a conscript guardsman on duty at Gråsten Slot died from meningitis. Queen Margrethe has send a letter of condolences to the family of the soldier.

Roskilde · #**737** 07-31-2013, 05:07 PM

Kongehuset.dk has uploaded a new gallery
Vagtskifte på Gråsten Slot - Kongehuset

I noticed in the second picture that our always entertaining Bella tries to walk like the guardsmen

- and Christian on his way to give daddy a hug.

Summary of a number of articles in Billed Bladet #31, 2013.
All written by Ken Richter. - The good thing about Ken Richter is that he writes about what he actually see, nothing more, nothing less.

There are indeed a number of new details in the articles and the DRF going to Legoland will be featured next week.

22 members of the extended DRF were present and the photoshhot this year took place near the tea house in a corner of the private part of the park.
That area is a playground and some of the things there looks like they have also been played in by Joachim and Frederik.

Athena is still somewhat insecure when she walks.
The whole family found a place at two benches for the group photo. Mary looked after Josephine, while Frederik took care of Vincent, who initially wasn't that keen on being photographed and looked away. Dad then told him about the swing later on and that helped. - (Sucking on a thumb also helped I can imagne).
Prince Gustav and Carina Axelsson were seen embracing warmly in the background.
On her way to mother Athena stepped on QMII's toes. The Queen let out an audilbe auch! (I can tell from a picture that it did hurt).
As you know Athena was carried around a lot, also by her dad and at some point she...well, she leaked on her dad's hand. There is a great photo in the article showing the moment when Joachim is discovering just that. Athena does not look the least bit disturbed...

As you have seen the twins were transported in a cart. Christian told our reporter afterwards that "It wasn't hard" to pull the cart. - (I guess not, as sister Bella pulled it most of the time).

Finally it was time for the swings. The older children did fine, including Komtesse Ingrid, who may be a big girl now, but not too big to use the swings.
Josephine wasn't the only one who didn't think it was fair to leave the swing for another child. Bette Henrik ran over to mother and needed a little comforting. Fortunately he has a big brother in the shape of Nikolai who took pity on him, put Henrik on his lap and really gave him a swing! That was so cool! - Whatever Nikolai has been doing lately it must have had something to do with his feet because half his sole was getting lose from the rest of the shoe.
While Josephine was busy voicing her protests to Mary, Vincent was busy playing peek-a-boo around the swing with dad and he didn't need to be pushed either. Just a little shove to get going and he was swinging...
Isabella tried her very best to swing just as high as the boys.

Later on at noon it was time for the changing of the guards and as that takes place once a week with the Music Corps also attending, the DRF naturally showed up on the stairs as a curtesy.
That included the twins. Jospehine soon discovered that she could get a lot of people (onlookers) to shout back or wave if she shouted and waved to them, so she was busy yelling her lungs out.
Vincent didn't, he went through that last year, when Josephine was ill, so big deal! It was much more fun to lay on mother's legs and be padded on the back.
The twins were indeed busy on the stairs. In particularly Josephine, who not only had to dance around with Bella, who simply cannot stand still, jump in unisyn with Vincent but also being busy with (sort of) conducting the musicians. Not only that but she also had to go inside to fetch her doll.

Our reporter observes that Vincent is more secure on his legs than his twin sister.
He also observes that it's not only QMII who appears to have a permanent wardrobe at Gråsten, so does Frederik. Because he wore the same polo as he wore during the photoshoot last year.

Mary's dress is by Rabens Salonger.

Did Josephine leak on Frederik or did Athen leak on Joachim? I think you're mixing princesses.Frederik wore the same shirt 2 years ago. Last year he wore a button down shirt according to Youtube.

You are right, fixed.
What can I say? There were ten children! I can hardly figure out the names of my own two.

It was Athena who...made dad's hand wet.

I don't know about two years ago, but Frederik wore that polo last year. There is a picture of that in the article.
