I think that the woman on the photos is the nanny of the tiwns. You could see that women on the earlier photographs of CP Mary, her friend Amber and kids.
It is said under photos that CP Mary went skiing with Prince Christian.

Are there no pics from Saturday? Is the family returning home instead?

PHOTO OPPORTUNITY WITH THE CROWN PRINCE COUPLE AND THEIR CHILDREN IN VERBIER

On Sunday 10 February 2013 The Crown Prince Couple and their children will pose for photographs for members of the press in connection with the family’s skiing holiday.

The brief photo session will take place at 09.30 a.m. by the roundabout next to Restaurant Carrefour, Verbier, Switzerland.

By providing this photo opportunity we hope that photographers and the media will respect The Crown Prince Couple’s wish of refraining from taking additional photographs of the family during their holiday.

Kind regards,
Lene Balleby
Communications and Press Secretary

One of my favourite annual events! Can't wait.

Cant wait to see the kids in the snow. I think this is a smart move by the cp couple and other royals, pose for pictures and ask/hope that they will be left alone the rest of the time.

All 4 of their children can walk - and run - now. I think we can expect some "action".
It will be interesting to see how - or if - the CP couple can keep control.

Thanks, love the ones of Christian with the snowballs. I am sure we will get some great pics this year. Looking forward to seeing the children together other than the Christmas concert this will be the first time.
So looking forward to it.

It's gonna be very exciting to see all the kids in action. I'm sure Christian and Isabella will be thrilled to have Vincent and Josephine to play with this time.

I also can not wait to see Mary and Frederik and all their adorable children. And it is already in three days :-) :-)

Gasp !!! Royals on vacation !!! At an expensive resort!!! OMG does this not mean they are being insensitive and uncaring about the people at home suffering through an economic crisis?!?? How dare they!!!! This must surely signal the end of the monarchy!!!!


PS....purely sarcasm based on the outrage some posters have directed at the Cambridges for sharing in a Middleton family vacation on Mustique.

NGalitzine, I'll never understand what all that fuss was about. Everyone here on this thread seems to be happy that these other royals are going on vacation and looking forward to the pictures.

Possibly, no one minds because the entire Danish Royal Family has worked hard for the past few months (and pretty much at all times).
Oh, and the Danish economy wasn't hurt as badly as some of the other EU economies, including the British.

I think we should refrain from bringing the Mustique debate to this thread though.

This is the Danish thread

And Denmark economy hasn't been doing to well http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/...8AE12U20121115

And I don't year anything about the Danish Royals taking a cut in funding like the others i.e Spain

My bad, thanks for spotting.

I was reading about the holiday in Lech before coming to this thread and automatically wrote "Dutch" instead of "Danish". The post was made about the Danish royals though so I corrected the mistake. The economies of the Scandinavian countries, while still affected by the crisis, were most definitely not affected on the same level as, say, the Portuguese or Spanish ones, or the British one for that matter.

How is it better than the UK when

Sorry for the OT

Well, i'm happy that the royals are getting away because all of them (British, Danish, etc) have been working hard and should have some private time to themselves with their families.
