That's actually a very interesting exhibition about Dannebrog. I'll go and see it.
The exhibitions at the old castle of Koldinghus, are usually first class and many if not most involves the DRF one way or another.
Should you ever decide to visit DK I suggest you keep an eye out on what they exhibit at Koldinghus - the castle itself is also worth a visit. It's very typical of Nordic/Baltic red-brick-castles. Very compact and almost always with roofs and hidden sentry-walks along the walls. The sentry-walks have now been replaced by windows, rather than slits for crossbows, bows were not used that much by castle-garrisons in this part of Europe. (A good idea considering the climate! A cold and wet sentry is useless! But a sentry who is hidden and dry is a serious obstacle.)

Two weeks ago, Turkey and Syria experienced violent earthquakes that have so far claimed tens of thousands of human lives. Several emergency organizations have stepped in to help, including the Red Cross in Denmark, which His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave a briefing about the serious situation earlier today.
The Crown Prince was received in front of the national office in Copenhagen by Secretary General of the Red Cross Anders Ladekarl, who informed about the work of the Red Cross in the area and the general situation after the earthquake. In addition, disaster manager Bjarke Skaanning participated through a video connection from Turkey, from where he submitted a situation report. So did the head of state Ravia Harribans, who had been dismissed from the emergency relief work in Syria.
The Red Cross is currently supporting the sister organizations Turkish Red Crescent and Syrian Red Crescent in their work to ensure working and accommodation conditions for emergency workers, emergency assistance in the form of cash, health services and distribution of packages with, among other things, tents, food and blankets in both Turkey and Syria.

We usually don't get photos inside the public audiences, but here is one of today's honorees who met with Frederik today. Frederik held the public audiences today in place of the Queen.

Several Ukrainian soldiers who have been seriously injured have come to Denmark since the beginning of the war - exactly one year ago - to receive treatment at a Danish hospitals. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince visited Rigshospitalet today, where three Ukrainian war veterans, who have been medically evacuated to Denmark, are undergoing rehabilitation.
The EU's first medical evacuation was launched back in March 2022. Since then, more than a thousand Ukrainian patients in need of continued treatment or emergency medical care have been transferred to European hospitals. In Denmark, it is the National Board of Health, which, in collaboration with the regions, distributes the patients to the country's hospitals.

HRH the Crown Prince held a public audience on 6 March 2023 at Christiansborg Castle in Copenhagen. At an audience, it is possible to thank for an order or medal as well as for a royal appointment or dismissal. The following pictures show some of the audience seekers.

A big event tomorrow.
"In March, the first storage of CO2 will begin in the Danish part of the North Sea. It happens at an event at Esbjerg Harbour, where HRH Crown Prince Frederik stands to pump the first into the pipelines.
Danish environmental history is being written at Esbjerg Harbour."

Thanks, Polyesco & Iceflower 
That is indeed big money!
The town of Esbjerg, is the only major DK port facing the North Sea. It's actually a very young town, it was founded in 1868. Initially as a larger fishing hub, since the 1960s a the service point for the offshore industry.
The offshore gas and oilfields were to be dismantled but now at least one major field is being reopened as a result of Russia cutting off gas supplies to Europe.
But these fields will eventually be dismantled as well. Instead huge, as in giant, windmill farms are being build instead eventually supplying not only DK with energy but also large parts of Central Europe, not least Germany.
On top of that CO2 will be pumped back into the ground. It's simply speaking the reversal of pumping oil and gas up from the underground. The equipment and sites are there, they just need some modifications. And just as crucial, the crews and the know how is there as well.
In addition Esbjerg is a container terminal and along with the city of Aarhus has been designated a NATO terminal, which means it has to live up to a number of standards in regards to efficiency and infrastructure to and from the harbor.
So things are busy in Esbjerg! - So if you are in need of a job, they are hiring in and around Esbjerg!
In fact if I was younger I would probably move there. Could happen yet, should I lose the job I have and Mrs Muhler was interested in moving along.
- These are some of the reasons why we so often see Frederik in that town.
- Town indeed. I predict that in 20 years Esbjerg will be the third of fourth largest city in DK. (A define a city as more than 100.000 inhabitants.)
Oh, did I mention, that Esbjerg has also been ready for several years now to handle goods to and from UK? So when the Brits get the Brexit mess sorted out, they are ready to handle goods to and from UK.
Most of all the ferries to and from UK are run by DFDS anyway (a DK shipping agency). The early bird and all that. 
- I'm deadly serious though. This is not meant as bragging. DK did not become a rich country by being complacent. There are many competitors out there. And that's why the DRF are in the forefront when it comes to export and trade.

Yes, as you may recall shortly before Christmas we had a new government. A coalition government of three parties across the political divide.
Some time ago one of the party-leaders, Jacob Ellemann, went down with stress - severe stress it seems. He won't return to politics for a while. If ever, I suspect.
Politics is a brutal business. This government is initiating and implementing reforms (they have majority) that are extremely unpopular! Not least because the basis and benefits of these reforms are somewhat tenuous. Especially considering that the government has rejected alternatives that were at least equally sound as their own proposals.
It has led to the very unique situation in Danish politics that all the other parties, every single one of them, from the most extreme left to the most extreme right have joined hands and are working together.
If you can imagine Bernie Sanders and the Tea Party movement working together, compromising and actually coming up with serious proposals.
As a result we have an extremely unpopular government right now. The party that is suffering the most in the polls is the very party that the leader who went down with stress is head of.
I don't really blame him, while I consider him to be, what we in Danish very brutally call a vatpik (= weak. don't run that through Goolge translate, it will not give a - wholesome - translation I fear) he is also an honest man. As I see it, he walked right into a trap set up by one of the other leaders of the government, coalition, Lars Løkke - with the cynical approval of our current PM, Mette Frederiksen. That move may very well lead her party to end up heading the next government as well.
It's a complicated story, but that's the gist of it.
Anyway with Jacob Ellemann out of action, someone else has taken over, and someone else will take over the responsibilities the new (temporary?) leader had previously. Hence why they went to see Frederik today.
