In a week, I'll join him - hair-wise.

This event is a testament to things quietly going back to normal here in DK.

I predict we will soon hear about M&F visiting a restaurant either by themselves or with friends. Normally they would be left alone, but this time I think it will find it's way to the social media and be very appreciated by the restaurant sector.

Tomorrow Frederik participates in the Haderslev Festival of Lights.

"In addition to speaking at the candlelight vigil, HRH the Crown Prince will also take part in the laying of wreaths at Haderslev Barracks for the fallen in Haderslev on 9 April 1940 and the freedom struggle."

"It is a great honor that HRH the Crown Prince has chosen to be this year's candle party speaker and participate in the candle party at Haderslev Barracks.*It is completely unique and adds a special dimension to this year's transmitted candle party, where the audience sits at home in the living rooms and is not physically present at the barracks.*HRH The Crown Prince's participation helps to make the candlelight party in 2021 a very special event in this corona time.*I am incredibly happy about that ", says Colonel Lars Mouritsen.

Yes, because in the early evening of 4th May 1945 the message came over the radio from BBC that the German forces in North West Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark had surrendered. To be in effect the next day, which is why 5th May is the official Liberation Day.
But the country exploded in a communal party on the evening on 4th May. The blackout curtains were torn down and there were lights in the windows for the first time in five years.
It is to this day still a tradition for many to place a couple of candles in the windows on this evening. - Candles in the windows are common all year round, but that's just hygge.

Haderslev barracks is particularly illuminated, being the center of the Light-fest that Frederik is attending tomorrow evening:

Notice that Dannebrog is flying after dark. But the flag is illuminated otherwise it would be a huge no go to fly Dannebrog after dark. - That means you honor the Devil.

When DK was invaded on 9th April 1940, there were considerable skirmishes around the barracks in the town of Haderslev and several from the garrison there was killed.

So while most of the Danes partied all night - except the collaborators - the Germans quietly returned to their barracks - the war was over. They were alive.

And here is a a photo of a very young Princess Margrethe with her nanny at Amalienborg. The armed gentlemen are from the Resistance. Because German sentries had guarded Amalienborg until then, but on the evening on 4th May, they left their posts and Resistance fighters went in and took over.
It took time for the Danish Brigade to be shipped over from Sweden and they were predominantly there to secure Copenhagen and prevent a Communist coup.
A very large part of the police force had been taken by the Germans in 1944, the rest had gone underground. And these police officers surfaced after the Liberation and eventually it was police officers who guarded Amalienborg, until the first batch of conscripts had been called up and trained, so that they could take over guarding Amalienborg. That happened in the late summer of 1945

Notice that Frederik is performing the navy salute, which is more comfortable that the army salute, also seen here, where the wrist is more angled.

Haderslev barracks is the home of Southern Slesvig Regiment of Foot. An old regiment with a proud history.
It's a light regiment forming the core of the Light Brigade. That is to be deployed very rapidly to predominantly the Baltic countries if need be.
Being a combat regiment, the soldiers wear black berets.

Crown Prince Frederik receive the President of Slovakia Zuzana Čaputová in audience this morning

A bit weird that one of them is with mask and one is without mask.

[Muhler]

The Slovak President is on a working visit to DK. I.e. it's matter between governments, but as protocol dictates, a foreign head of state will pay his or her respect to the local head of state. - Basically saying hi.
Normally it would be QMII who would receive a foreign head of state, but since the Slovak President is very much involved in issues regarding the environment and the climate, it was considered more natural that she would meet with Frederik, who is also very much involved in these issues.
And as such she was welcomed at M&F's mansion at Amalienborg.

- It also emphasize the growing role of Frederik in running the DRF.
Because QMII was today not away, nor ill.

Very much so, the environment was on the agenda.

As we know Aarhus is very important to him.

[Muhler]

Now, that's a nice suit, Frederik.

Although Aarhus was founded more than 1.000 years ago, it's a "young" city.
That is mainly due to the university, but also to the many other schools, academies and other forms of education. With students of all sorts altogether constituting more than 30.000 of the 350.000 inhabitants of Aarhus. As such the average age of the city is among the lowest in DK. That means that the night life and cultural scene is also relatively young and vibrant.
So, it's perhaps no wonder Frederik felt at home there, when he was studying at Aarhus University.

The name Aarhus means house (the old meaning of hus = a substantial stone-building or at a castle but not a church) by a river.
The old Danish name for the city is Aros. The Latin name is Arosia. So now you have some trivia to scare away someone with.

QMII also studied at Aarhus University and lived at a female campus.

I think it's a safe bet to predict that at least one of M&F's children will study in Aarhus.
Just as I think it's a very safe bet to predict that at least one of the children will study for a period at an Australian university.

Crown Prince Frederik attended a celebration to mark the 100th anniversary of Southern Jutland's reunification with Denmark in 1920 at the embassy of Southern Jutland in Copenhagen today, May 12. The celebrations were postponed last year. As a special surprise Frederik received a "South Jutland passport": ⁣

What a nice surprise. Frederik looks happy to join.
This event is not on the calendar, but I would nt be surprised if there is more. They look forward to the celebrations.
