That happened to me and a few page refreshes did the trick.

Given the seating arrangements, Letizia and Marie Chantal possibly could not have even crossed paths. In any case, Letizia had to be in Spain for Armed Forces day. Queen Sofia or Infanta Elena could have been there, but they wouldn't have an obvious pair to escort them.

That song must very much be aimed at QMII.
Very fitting BTW and modern.
- It's from a musical about Treasure Island, about the feelings of the boy's mother as she see him leave on the ship embarking on the big adventure. Knowing that the boy she knew will be gone forever now. He is sailing away from mother - and growing up.

Why is Frederik getting emotional ? Does the music have some special meaning to him ?

Indeed! I can imagine it will fuel the speculation (again) about Queen Margrethe II's "imminent abdication".

Wonderful!
Mary talks about Frederik being fond of telling jokes. And laughing at the same jokes.
And telling the same jokes again and again... - still having fun.
She finds him sexy in Lycra. - But white Lycra... white Lycra with a helmet and rollerskis... Nah.
His children, while loving dad deeply, are also in agreement that dad is a sore loser, and that Vincent is very much his dad's son in that respect!
That was a very warm, loving, funny and fine speech.
Ending by saying: "Congratulations, I love you."

Thanks so much for these updates and these sort of spot translations. What a beautiful and appropriate song.
Mary's killing it!
And there were a couple cute exchanges between Fred and Maxima.

What did the Queen mean in her speech, "On Monday you have all of Denmark to manage"?

Just watched Mary’s speech. Although, I couldn’t understand a lot of it, I can tell it was funny and moving. Frederik’s tears are flowing.

Does Margrethe now wear some sort of hearing device? It seems she was cupping her ear as she was listening to Mary's speech, which was lovely, both the speech and the act of actively listening to Mary, because QM could've totally stopped and just read along in the program.
Also, what a way to end the show.

It should be: "Monday you made all of Denmark run."
Google isn't perfect.

A better translation of that part of her speech was 'on Monday you had all of Denmark running with you' referring to the Royal Run last Monday.

Agree - speech of the night goes to Crown Princess Mary (although they were all good)

Queen Margrethe has worn hearing aids for quite a few years now but I have to admit it's the first time I've seen her cupping her ear like that in order to listen.
