Crown Prince Frederik's 50th Birthday Celebrations: May 2018

[Dalriada]

The musical mix at this concert must be to Prince Frederik’s taste and quite rocky. Its such a contrast to the Swedish royal events with Victoria’s and Daniel’s catchy pop taste.
Oh but the music has changed now after the interval, thankfully!

Interesting, people are standing up to the song: In Denmark I am born - That's the third, albeit unofficial national anthem we have.

Mary is moved!
Clearly this song "speaks" more to her than our regular national anthem.

This is quite the variety but I'm enjoying it. Right now it's hip-hop/rap and Bella's singing along. Phine's grooving in her seat.

Oh man. I really hope this gets uploaded somewhere. I need to watch it back. They just cut to the family. We've pretty much lost Vincent. He's just sitting there slack-jawed and from out of frame comes Isabella's hand to close his mouth. (It might've actually been Patricia's hand because I think it was a sleeved arm. It happened quick.)

I love the clips with the children!

This time about love and how mum and dad met.
Isabella pointed out that dad isn't very, very, very romantic, but he can be. Like on Valentines Day.
And Josephine explained that dad was out traveling and met mum on a bench and they said hi, and then they became sweethearts and mum became a princess - really simple.

I couldn't hear what the boys were saying.

Is Christian's voice beginning to crack?

It sounds quite lovely, I'm looking forward to seeing some of the scenes!

The guest arrivals are already available for viewers outside of Denmark on DR1, so I am optimistic that we will be able to see the show too

I love Josephine's telling of their love story. She's really not all that far off. Simple.

Christian's voice is already quite deep. I'm so curious for when his voice fully develops.

Crossing my fingers!

They showed a lovely tribute to Prince Henrik. And I don't know if Josephine might just be tired or if the tribute made her sad (like it did me!), but she was on Mary's lap, tears down her face. Poor bubs.

Ooh I love this song from Sort Sol :)

Love that they have included recorded messages from CP Victoria and Prince Daniel, and CP Haakon & CP Mette-Marit :)

[Muhler]

This time the children told us who it's better to nag if you want something.

That's 100 % dad! - Except when it's about ice cream, then it's mother.

And they think that what dad wish most for as a b-day present is a travel with the family. - To the Maldives, interjects Vincent.

Josephine concludes that Frederik has a sweet family.

The poor children are almost collapsing now.

Vincent peaced out in the first hour. I've been really impressed that Josephine was still enjoying herself but now she's over it. There's been a bunch of seat/lap swapping going on. They're still doing really well. They're so well-behaved.

Aw, you can totally tell that Vincent is so tired.

[Muhler]

It's over. Off to beds kids.

Hopefully the pre-recorded bits are uploaded to their official channels. Somehow, I doubt it. Shame, really.

I don't understand why they would open up yesterday's dinner but geo-block this. DR never used to block viewers outside of DK from events like this, IIRC.

Just a guess, but I would say it's probably a matter of licensing? A lot of copyrighted music was played and I could imagine them not having the rights to broadcast that outside of Denmark. IIRC DR's show for QMII's 75th birthday was geo-blocked as well.

[Muhler]

Nor do I.

Anyway, here is a pic of the whole family: https://bt.bmcdn.dk/media/cache/reso...rd-lber-t.jpeg

The clips with the children will be classic, so I think it's safe to say they will end up on the Net eventually.

Are you able to watch any of these clips outside DK: https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/kultur/fil...epunkterne-fra

It's the various performers, not the children. But it's a beginning, right?

The whole show is going to be uploaded soon.

That's true. I wondered whether or not it might have had to do with licensing.

Well, hopefully the bits with the children will be made available.

Hmm. Yes. I tried a few of the clips and they worked.

I can watch them.

But I really hope all of the video packages get uploaded. I thoroughly enjoyed the musical entertainment but those video packages of not just the kids but the ones taking us through Fred's life were the show.

Here are the birthday greetings from notable Danes and from Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel. Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit's message isn't posted but hopefully they add it.

Celebrity birthday greetings -- DR1

Thanks for all the updayes. Sounds like a lovely birthday celebration in which the Danes get to know their future king better!
