Well done CP Frederik and full marks for taking the time and making the effort to visit the Team. Bravo.

Crown Prince Frederik participated in the laying of the foundation stone for the new F-35 Campus Skrydstrup in Bevtoft today, June 18:

That's personnel and service facilities for the F-35 fighters that are to be delivered shortly. They will, just like the F-16s, operate from air base Skrydstrup.

Frederik is wearing the dress uniform of a major general in the air force.
I'll leave it to his resident fans here to judge whether that is a more flattering uniform that those from the army and navy.

[polyesco]

Not a uniform we see him often in, but he looks great in blue. Navy would still be my number 1.

And the Minister of Defense, Trine Bramsen, who in contrast to her colleague mentioned in another thread, stays in the background, is the blonde lady in black, giving a speech on the rostrum.

Crown Prince Frederik will no longer be a member of the IOC but today, June 24, attended the presentation of the Danish flag bearers for the next Olympic Games in Tokyo at the Experimentarium in Hellerup:

As we know Frederik had a trip planned to Japan due to the Olympics but had to cancel. Part of his program was to open the Danish Pavillion in Tokyo. He did so virtually on July 23

"the Confederation of Danish Industry, the Danish Chamber of Commerce and the Danish Agriculture and Food Council invite Danish companies to showcase their products and solutions at the Danish Pavilion set up in the courtyard of the Danish Embassy in Japan"


Yet another event/speech by the Crown Prince, completely ignored by the DRF. Not on the calendar, not a word on social media. Nothing.

"The S/Y Veteranen was appropriated today in the royal Danish yacht club which has taken us under their wings... The flag was handed over by the club's patron H.K.H. Crown Prince Frederik"

That's in Northern Zealand, not that far from Fredensborg. So I suppose the family is there.

Wonder if they even went to Gråsten this year, because schools starts again on Monday.

More on the S/Y Veteranen
"The*boat & Association is a groundbreaking concept and services for people with veteran card and police officers through their association Thin Blue Line Denmark. The S / Y Veteran has been bought for with war compensation. Jesper S. Larsen owns the boat, but puts it in, on a long-term contract in the association S / Y Veteranen.
- Our idea is that we go around Denmark to offer police and soldier veterans with challenges, an opportunity to get out sailing. Many of our comrades are so badly affected (added: by PTSD) that just a one-day trip can be a mountain to climb."

And Frederik's participation

What a wonderful concept, especially for those with PTSD because it is an invisible condition that can totally cripple someone's life. A chance to meet other veterans with the same condition means that for a little while they are not alone, suffering from isolation and the well-meaning family and friends that try to "fix" them. Frederik's participation is validation in and of itself.

"Well done that man"

Yes, the athletes returned home today to a warm welcome, albeit under restrictions.

It's a been a good Olympics medal wise for DK.

It was decided a number of years ago that there would be a national effort to ensure more medals for Danish competitors at future Olympics.
That policy is now bearing fruits in earnest.

That meant government subsidies and added focus and support in regards to training, equipment, travels and money to help cover expenses when taking time off from work in order to participate in competitions.
Only 20 years ago, that virtually didn't exist in DK.
While other countries had for decades put a lot of emphasis on developing and training their athletes.

-------------

Couldn't agree more, Marg.

Any initiative helping veterans, police officers, firefighters and others who are hurt mentally or physically in the line of duty is to be commended and supported. And any idea is good, even if it only helps a few.
During the lockdown here in DK, sailing has been the new craze. A lot of people have been buying boats in order to take up sailing, both competitive and as a leisure activity. It's a way to get out and be safe.
Of course boats are expensive and take up a lot of time to maintain and people suffering from PTSD often don't have a job, but have to live off a pension and that means they don't have that much money to spend, so it's good that at least some of them can use this boat and go sailing.

This is from memory. PTSD can come from many things. One such victim was a woman IIRC who was on pirate-patrol on a frigate. And for whatever reason she fell overboard.
That must be a pretty scary situation no matter who you are! A ship sails surprisingly fast. You think: 25 knots, that's only about 40 km or so, not much - except when it's sailing away from you...
I imagine you have time to think some creepy thoughts until the ships turns about and lower a boat.
Like: Has anyone seen me fall overboard?
Will they just sail on, to leave me here to drown eventually?
Sharks!
No one will ever know what happened to me. No closure for my loved ones.
- So no wonder she got PTSD.

Here are some photos and a video of the celebration with the athletes shared by the Palace:

In one moth the Royal Run 2021 will take place. Yesterday, August 11, Crown Prince Frederik visited the production hall in Farum where the banners, kilometer marks, posters and the like are printed and stored before they are sent to the Royal Run cities.
