[Charlotte_Aster]

Prince Joachim with Princess Marie and Prince Felix has arrived. No Nikolai this evening.

Interviewer asked CP Frederik what was a highlight for him during his birthday week. CP Frederik answered; The weather, Royal Run and CP Mary's speech to him last night

[Muhler]

Mary's sister is there.

M&F and children have arrived. Frederik spoke about his wife's speech, that was a highlight to him.

Josephine is a wonderful little ham.
She likes the cameras and I notice she often stand in a ballet-posture when she is being photographed. Perhaps she's dancing?

Now the entertainment will start and I will leave the floor to others as I doubt I will see much of it.

Right you are. Queen Maxima's diamonds are amazing, indeed. One can be sure that they are clear as water.

Isabella's sitting next to her Aunt Patricia. I think Mary gave her sister a cute little wave.

.

lol I noticed that too. She was in Fifth Position this time.

Apparently, Prince Edward spent the weekend with the Queen at Balmoral according to the report below. That explains why he didn't go to Denmark on Saturday.

The children just wished a happy birthday to Frederik in a recorded video! So sweet :)

[Muhler]

And not an eye is dry!

The children (and dog) said their own happy birthday to dad. And they are going to return.

It is so idiotic that such a thing can't be shown outside DK!

Hmmm. Then I guess it just isn't working for me, no matter how much I refresh the page. I get the same error we were getting yesterday prior to DR1 unlocking its feed to those outside Denmark.

[Iolanthe]

I can't see anything either. Same failure report as yesterday morning
I tried every browser and now even an US IP adress But still nothing. Maybe we will be able to see the video afterwards.

[Muhler]

The children were on again.

This time they told about it's a bit annoying when they are told waht to do, and not act silly.
Mother can be angry. Okay, a little, sometimes, added Christian. Vincent was adamant however, that mother does get angry!

I was really supposed to do something else, but who can resist these children?

I believe Frederik even tried to speak some Swedish when he was interviewed after competing in the Vasaloppet.

Queen Silvia, however, could be seen reading Mary's speech translation. Maybe as a non-native speaker of Swedish, she doesn't understand Danish so well.



As far as I understand, correct me if I am wrong, Danish is actually closer to standard Norwegian (the difference between the two being mostly in pronunciation). The differences between Swedish and Danish on the other hand are more pronounced.

Prince Vincent is almost stealing the Show since he is sitting beside his father and is always in camera when Prince Frederik is on screen.

[Archduchess Zelia]

Why is Britt Bager on sitting so close to the royals?

[Muhler]

The children were on again, this time about the times when dad can be embarrassing.
When he's goofing at the table, and just laughing away. And Mary tells him he's silly, he says "ain't me"! Bella describes him as adult on the outside but fifteen inside.

I am a non-native speaker of Swedish. I lived in Sweden for a long time but much less time than Silvia and I have no problems in understanding Danish.


For me, Danish feels closer to Swedish but I understand Norwegian very well.

I'm watching the DR1 stream on Edge but then I tried to see if I could watch it in a new tab, on Firefox, and Chrome and, bizarrely, I can't. I have no idea how I'm watching this. I'm so sorry, friends. I had hoped to help with a solution.

Hopefully they'll post the video packages of the kids like they've done in the past with the Kronprinsen Awards.

A clear example of the twins' different personalities: Rock music starts and Josephine playfully starts headbanging (Mary joins her). Later, Vincent is seen covering his ears.

More from Vincent and Josephine. (I couldn't hear much of it) About what dad should do on his very first day as king. - It seems like they believe a king can make anything happen. - Even make the water grow (??) and stop people from stealing.

Josephine said people should stop throwing trash in the nature, and that should be a first thing her father could stop people doing when he becomes King
