Wasn't Frederik best man in Haakon's wedding?

Yes, Frederik was best man to Haakon and Haakon and MM were godparents to Christian. So guess these 2 are pretty close

ROYAL DADS ENJOY SOME FROSTY FUN AT WINTER OLYMPICS

Two of Europe's most popular royal dads got the chance to swap parenting tips when they met up in Turin this week. Denmark's Crown Prince Frederik, who became a father for the first time last October, was photographed sharing a joke with Norway's future king, Crown Prince Haakon, as they enjoyed some sporting excitement at the Winter Olympics.

Onlookers could only guess what the two men were talking about, but they were both clearly on top form, smiling broadly and laughing as they chatted together in the stands. The Danish royal appeared to be telling his friend an entertaining anecdote, as he gestured animatedly before burying his face in his hands in amusement.

...Rienda proved to be been charmed with of that the Princes of Asturias have confirmed their assistance to the test of the giant: " it does a lot of illusion To Me and I consider it to be a great pride ". Asked on if she was facing the career of her life,she said: " First it is necessary to make the things and then, celebrate them. I will throw myself like if it was a career of Glass of the World and then already we will see. Already I go many years doing enough things inside the world of the ski and already one will see. I will give to the maximum, like always. I do not have to demonstrate anything ".

Princes de Asturias will support to the Spanish in their great challenge

TURIN. Tomorrow it can be a great day. Maria Jose Rein starts off as favorite in the Olympic giant and she does not scare that condition to him, although it notices that "between the fifteen first it can gain anyone". Princes de Asturias, that they arrive today at Turin, they will be in Sestriere, animating it. For her it is another injection of moral: "He is fantastic that comes". Its technical director, Pini, it emphasizes that "already it is only necessary to work the confidence". The Spanish knows who will win........

indeed that would be fun for us. (maybe less so for Leonor) though I dont think the combined power of Amalia and Alexia did much to help the dutch athletes.

not that i'm complaining, i wouldn't trade the most adorable photos of the worlds most adorable family for 10 gold medals.

its sad they cant be there together. i am sure the olympics is very special to them since they met there.

 

[LaChicaMadrilena]

Are they going home now or will they stay a bit more in Torino? It looks like there will be another raise at 13.00, but I don't know if Rienda, this Spanish sportswoman will participate in it.
