Wartenberg7, it is now the second time in two days you are scolding me publicly. I trust this is not going to become a habit!
You are beginning to ruin my mood!
You are free to begin writing summaries to the various links, in that way I won't annoy you!
You can start with this article which is about how Frederik is as a father: https://www.bt.dk/royale/dronningens...er-han-som-far

I've been thinking of maybe going to Copenhagen on Saturday to see the cortege on its way from Amalienborg to Christiansborg. Do you remember what the procedure have been at previous gala dinners - is the courtyard with the Queen's Gate open to the public or totally closed off? If open do they leave their cars in the courtyard or can they drive inside the Queen's Gate?

I like the painting. Queen Margrethe II looks fantastic, too. She seems to be doing well. God Bless the Danish royal family.

The man in that painting bears no resemblance to Frederick. Whoever it is, however, is quite dashing.

Tomorrow is the big day!
It all starts with the family, and QMII, appearing on the balcony of Frederik VIII's Mansion, i.e. M&F's home. - That'll confuse a few no doubt. 
I think it's the first time the family will appear on that balcony.
That happens at noon.
There will be live TV from that. Probably from several papers and BB as well, so stand by for links.
In the early evening, M&F will ride in a carriage from Amalienborg through the streets of Copenhagen to Christiansborg for the big show. Depending on the weather it's no doubt going to be an open carriage.
I do not think we will see the children. It's going to be a long dinner at Christiansborg and even though there is entertainment, it's not particularly child-friendly.
Instead we will see the children on Sunday for the show in Frederik's honor, but more on that Sunday.
There will be a live coverage of the carriage-ride and also of the guests arriving at Christiansborg.
Someone is bound to post the links tomorrow, so don't worry.
The weather: We currently have the warmest, sunniest and driest May since 1889, but tomorrow of all days there may be the occasional shower in Copenhagen. Let's hope it remains dry around noon and 18.00 tomorrow.
There will also be live coverage of the gala at Christiansborg tomorrow, from 20.00-22.30 - only interrupted when the guests are eating.
So plenty of time to comment on dresses and jewellery in-between.

Am I correct in summarzing that members of all the royal houses in Europe, except GB, Spain and Monaco, are attending the celebrations?
My my, what a May we are having. Usually, we have to do just with Monaco GP and perhaps some state visit or other, however this May, we are truly blessed

It seems so. Here is the list from BB: https://www.billedbladet.dk/kongelig...-til-gallafest
King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima.
King Phillipe and Queen Mathilde.
King Carl-Gustav and Queen Silvia.
Hereditary Grand Duke Giullaume and Hereditary Grand Duchess Stephanie.
Haakon and Mette-Marit.
Victoria and Daniel.
No mentioning of the Greeks, but I'd be surprised if they don't show up in force.

It is a pity that the Earl and Countess of Wessex are not attending since they seem to have a personal relationship with Frederik and Mary.
The situation in Spain, which was already bad, is getting worse now with the Rajoy government involved in a major campaign finance scandal and likely to fall in the next weeks on a motion of censure. King Felipe VI seems to be personally close to Frederik too, but I don't think it would be appropriate for him to leave the country to attend a glittering birthday gala given the circumstances. There may be also scheduling conflicts (maybe the Spanish editors can comment on that).

So, has it been confirmed by the Danish Royal Palace of the foreign royals attendances? According to the British Royal Engagements, the Wessexes got nothing on this weekend plus we can see from WA’s birthday last year that the attendances weren’t mentioned but the Wessexes were there indeed.
