Here you go. It´s a classic. I like that Joachim is wearing a suit. It always makes him look so tall and lean.

I'm also sure they are on good terms, but unlike you I find it is very painful to watch the subtle messages of these two. I don't see the friendliness, only indifference and politeness. They don't look at each other anymore, the glance from eye corner says thousand words. Boy, there is a distance even though they stand together, why not move on?

Thanks Dennism for reposting it. With the assistance of others, I finally found Fred, and twigged to the lady beside Henrik.

I agree with Lori. For a long time, they haven´t really looked at one another-not in the way they used to. If you see the way Joachim looked at Alex in the engagement photos, these recent pictures are heart-breaking. Sure, feelings change after a few years of marriage, but the body language of the 2 now are like they are colleagues, not spouses.
I hope they try to be warmer to one another when with the kids.

[MoonlightRhapsody]

I don't believe that warmth is a requirement for the sake of it kids, it's civility. Having a warm relationship with a former spouse is ideal but usually not realistic. Even for the sake of the kids, I'm sure it's difficult to be around your ex-spouse especially if there are extenuating circumstances to the collapse of your marriage. What these two are doing now is fine for the situation at hand.

Man, if it turns out to be true that the marriage collapsed do to a third person on Joachim's side, Alex is showing an exterme amount of civility towards her husband. I'd have a very difficult time just looking at him at all.

I think the picture of Princess Alex there with Queen Margrethe II is not a recent one. I think that was from the previous years. If one would observe Alex's haircolor and hairstyle, it's different.

I hope the palace would release new official photos of the DRF. It would really be nice.

I think it is from at least two years ago if not more.

The occasion is one of Queen Margrethe's birthday appearances on the balcony and the outfit worn by Alexandra is an outfit she wore during her pregnancy -- can't remember if it was with Nikolai or Felix though -- could also be both of them.

i think it's when she's pregnant with Prince Nikolai....

I hope next year that there would be some royal changes regarding the schedules of both Princess Mary and Alexandra. I think both the two should also appear on some activities together not just during masses, birthdays or funerals of some important persons.

I think it would really be great if both of them combine forces sometimes.

Thanks pdas! On the surface, it looked like an easy reunion for Alexandra and Joachim, but there is no telling what they were really feeling.
