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

This is about Radio-host/DJ, Palle Peter Jencel, who was DJ at Frederik's 50th birthday party that took place at Kancellihuset (assuredly) at Fredensborg.
He tells a few details in a podcast.

It was a surprise-party arranged by Mary, with the theme: Festival.

He was placed in a room (with his equipment presumably) in a living room and BTW when he had to go to the bathroom, he had to walk through M&F's private bedroom. (Which is why I'm sure it was in Kancellihuset, and I know from other sources at the time, that there was a party at Kancellihuset.)

He was hired to play from 15-04 and as always he got quite a few requests from the guests present.
Not least the royal children:
"All they wanted to hear is Gilli and Kesi, and you really can't stand there playing that for 200 affluent people in nice clothes.
They are standing there, doing that floss-dance that young people dance today."

And the requests continued, one from Mary:
"I know it sounds a little odd, but can I request a song?
Do you have Rage Against the Machine with Killing in the Name?"
(See the music video in the article.)

Another request came from Mary's sister, who was pretty delighted with Lars Ulrich from Metallica being among the guests. And she simply insisted that he played something by Metallica.

Even though most of the requests was rock music, he did put on Macarena at some point:
"Then the whole crowd begin to dance Macarena."

At 04.30 a tired Mary decided the party was over and Palle Peter Jencel hitched a ride with M&F and Mary's sisters to Copenhagen:
"We drive into Amalienborg Square, the sun is up and we say thank you for a nice evening. I get out and it's only there it dawns on me, what has happened."

Apart from Palle Peter Jencel being a DJ, the bands Gulddreng and Nephew also played during the party.

Here is Gilli & Kesi, who I must confess I didn't know.

But metallica I do know!

But in the evening the children were put in bed and the party moved inside:
"Everybody danced and they have this cardboard cutout of Frederik that is being crowd-surfed around."

Hello! I haven't been on the forum for ages....but it's good to see that it's still active! I hope you are all well! Does anybody know if there is a version of the documentary 'Min vej - kronprins Frederik 50 år' with Engish subtitles?

Thank you!

Great to see you back

I don’t think there is a version of the documentary with english subtitles. It was shown on TV2 and their programmes can’t been watched outside Denmark so I don’t think anyone has created english subtitles to it.

I have seen shorter clips from the documentary with english subtitles on the Frederik & Mary fanpages around the internet, Facebook and Instagram etc., but sadly not the full documentary translated.

Thanks Roskilde! I saw it in Danish () and loved it - but it would have been wonderful to understand some of the comments. Regardless, it was very well done!

Hello There !! Juliette 2 great to hear from you again!
I do wish Danish TV would realise there is a large English speaking community also interested in their Royals and provide subtitles for us. I know some programmes do but not all.

Thank you Muhler & Sidcari for sharing this. It is Even if if I cannot understand a word, still I am able to see how the CP is very much in touch with real life. It was very moving to see him working as a volunteer in that country devastated by the earthquake. When the time comes, he will be a good king.

In the credits of the video, it says it has UK sub-titles which I am assuming to mean English. I found a very short video in YT with English translation. I want to share it here but I don’t know how to.

The video you can purchase does indeed have English subtitles. But not this demo version we can see here.
You can quite often find DRF videos on YouTube with English subtitles.
Like the example I post below.
Say you make a search saying: "Kronprins Frederik" then you will sometimes in the results listed see the word "Undertekster" = subtitles in the description, that's a good indicator. Sometimes only Danish subtitles, but in this one also English.
Click on the cog-wheel if there is one, sort of like this dude here * and you can select or deselect subtitles if they are available. Sometimes in various languages.

As for posting a video. Do you mean posting here? Or copy/pasting something in general?

With your indulgence I'll do some mansplaining.
You see a video and want to post it here.
Towards the top of your screen is a text starting with https://
Click once on the text and it turns blue.
Click on "edit" in the top of your screen, then click "copy" (alternatively use your mouse or press the ctrl and c keys at the same time.)
You have now copied the video.
Now you are posting here and you choose "edit" again and "paste". (alternatively use your mouse or press the ctrl and v keys at the same time.)
The video is now a part of your post. You will see a screen when you have finished your post and hit "submit reply".

Hi Muhler. I for the longest time could not find this topic. Or maybe I am just confused and still learning how to navigate the Royal Forum. Thank you so much for your patience to mansplain to me how to post a video. I have tried it but have not been successful yet. I will keep on trying.
You mentioned that the video that was for sale had English subtitles. Is the video or maybe a digital version is still available for purchase somewhere?

Yes.

The producer has uploaded the video (along with others) on Vimeo:
https://vimeo.com/jjfilmdk
You can watch it for free, if you join - that is free as well.
I used an alias, and a little used e-mail address and that's it. I could watch the documentary right away.
Unfortunately without English subtitles.

You are not really supposed to, but you can also download the video slightly illegally and for free using one of several apps. But I think it will be against the board rules to post the details here.
And of course I myself did not do that... Perish the thought.

BTW you'll love seeing Mary in vain trying, very tenderly, to make Frederik's hair sit right in their car on the way to an event. About 4 minutes in.
And you'll quietly sigh with Frederik, when some pushy dude, plaques him to getting a selfie with him a couple of minutes later.
Great footage.

I've never seen Frederik being an equestrian acrobat before. He is standing on the back of a horse in motion at 30 minutes in.

I'll have a closer look at the documentary later.
