On this glorious day where the Danish national team will be running circles around the Australian national team - and destroy them, let's learn a little about Frederik's private birthday celebration.
Summary of article in Billed Bladet #25, 2018.
Written by Ulrik Ulriksen.
Who along with a number of other journalists took up position outside Fredensborg Palace all Saturday.
The party was organized by Mary and the theme was hippies/flower power/the summer of 68 and most of the 200 guests had indeed dressed up for the occasion. Some very much so, as you can tell from the scans!
Some where inspired by the Burning Man Festival, where the purpose is to dress as outlandish as possible.
Apart from close associates, like Per Thonit and wife, and Mary's hairdressed, Søren Hedegaard with husband, it was basically one long parade of M&F's many friends.
Including Mary's dad John Donaldson and Susan Moody.
Isabella and Christian were observed and it is presumed Vincent and Josephine were there as well, because many guests brought along their children.
The celebration did not take place in the actual palace, but instead at M&F's former home, Kancellihuset, which must be considered large enough for the purpose, even with 200 guests.
Since the weather was great and Denmark was to play it's first match at the championships that Saturday a big screen had been set up to the delight of the many soccer fans present. DK won, so no eye was dry...
Joachim and our Marie were there too. Joachim in his famous rust-colored pants. They had a great time and left late!
Haakon and Mette-Marit were also among the guests. Mette-Marit with flowers in her hair. (The photo in the article is not from the birthday.)
The party began around 15.00 and ended long after midnight.
The toastmaster was the actor Nikolai Lie Kaas, who is also a friend of M&F.
Mary had arranged the entertainment, with contributions from various guests. Among them some of Frederik's old mates from the Frogman Corps, who started the party by singing for him.
A number of the female guests also sang Frederik's praise, as well as communal singing of the birthday song.
Lars Ulrich from Metallica was there as well, but I doubt he gave a performance.
But other bands did. (They will mean little to non-Danes though, so I won't go into details.)
There was also comical entertainment, by the in DK very popular Rytteriet = The Cavalry. - A couple, depicting mega-rich and most politically incorrect snobs. - Considering that many of the guests are pretty rich and live in the general area where these "snobs" claim to live, that was a most apt choice!
Perhaps someone can help me. Who are Simon and Sandra, who are depicted in the upper left corner of page 7? They said they have known M&F for many years.
