[M. Payton]

Is that you Muhler hiding under the same turtle neck that you claim you do not like.......you can't fool us ladies here at all.....

Anyhow even though I am not Danish (maybe in another life time) I love Frederik in the turtleneck, sexy and cute and so boyish....yep, as someone said to me, I drool over Frederik for indeed he is gorgeous.

The Great Hall, Frederik VIII Palace, Amalienborg.

It's the same room often pictured in the Crown Prince Family's photos, for example Isabella's 9th birthday portraits.

Billed Bladet has published the full schedule of Frederik's birthday celebrations.

They will last from 18th May to the the 27nd May.

18th May: Frederik will present grants from Crown Prince Frederik's Foundation at Christiansborg.
In the evening her and Mary will host a dinner for associated with the Crown Prince Frederik's Foundation at their home at Amalienborg.

21st May: The Royal Run. - Frederik will take part in various running events in Aalborg, Esbjerg, Odense and finally Copenhagen and at the same time go for tour of the country.

22nd May: M&F will host a reception aboard Dannebrog for his protections.

- I think it's very safe to say that all this will be covered massively here in DK! So our newsdiggers will be busy!

I guess we will see on 26th and 27th May foreign royals to celebrate with Prince Charming!

The royal run seems to be a very popular initiative!

BB reports that in Aarhus all 5.000 numbers for the one mile distance (which Frederik will run) have now been taken.
The organizers urge people to instead sign up for the 10 km run or try signing up for the one mile run in other cities.

This will be a huge event in Denmark! A few weeks ago they were up to 50 thousand entries.

I just made an observation in the calendar of the Swedish Royal Family. Previous, Queen Silvia was scheduled to attend an event in Stockholm on Sunday 27th May. Now, is the same event attended by Princess Madeleine. Maybe (and hopefully) an indication of the Swedish attendees at the Birthday celebrations.

"When the CP Couple on Saturday, 26 May arrive at the gala banquet at Christiansborg Palace, it will be in a carriage from the royal stables with the escort of the Guard Hussar Regiments Horse Squadron."

Interesting. Wonder if they will use an open or a closed carriage. But perhaps this will be decided at short notice because of the weather on that day.

The purpose is of course for M&F to be seen and to see people congratulating Frederik, so I think they will as far as possible drive in an open carriage.

Any TRF members in Copenhagen on the 26th May?

Depending on weather and what we'll be able to see I've been thinking of going

Were foreign real houses invited? Is Felipe and Letizia going to be at the party?

[ROYAL NORWAY]

Well, here are some news about the Norwegian TV-coverage of the birthday celebrations on May 26th:

The Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation:
Their second largest channel NRK2 will send live from 11:45 to 12:30 for the balcony appearance at Amalienborg, and from 18:55 to 22:30 for the gala dinner at Christiansborg.
Their largest channel (also the largest channel in Norway) NRK1 will send a documentary from 20:25 to 21:10.

The TV2 Group (Norway's largest commercial media company):
TV2 News Channel will send live from all the events.

On May 27th: No coverage, but almost certainly clips from the Royal Arena in the evening news on NRK and TV2.

--------------------

Well, when there are royal celebrations in Norway, there is almost no interest or TV-coverage in Denmark and Sweden. - But when there are royal celebrations in Denmark and Sweden, there is always interest and TV-coverage in Norway.

Interesting, isn't it?

I dont think we will see Felipe and letizia. They will visit Armed Forces Day the same day and Felipe will visit Champions League in the evening

[An Ard Ri]

As the Spanish RF rarely bother attending anything I doubt we'll see Felipe/Letizia besides do we really want to see Letizia and Marie-Chantal scowling at each other at a party?

[Muhler]

True!

I doubt the air has cooled off between them.

I can just see it:

King Felipe and Queen Letizia attend that day the Parade of the Armed Forces Day, and Queen Letizia will have arrived the previous day of America ... therefore, their attendance is complicated, because the time would be very tight. In addition, Real Madrid plays that day the final of the Champions League, and for the moment King Juan Carlos who could go is still in rehabilitation.

Felipe is King, and he attended the birthday of Queen Margarita ... Frederik is an heir, he is inferior in rank, and there is not the same protocolar obligation.
The logical thing would be that as on other occasions, other crown princes and princesses attended the celebration (maybe king or queen where the princesses of the crown are young).

It is also true that in royalty there may be some desire to support Queen Margrethe, since Henrik's funeral was far from the traditional protocol and they could not do so, and that is why there is more representation.

As for Marie Chantal, this is not one of her fashion parties, it is a royal celebration with Queen Margrethe as hostess ...if she meets the Queen of Spain, she knows what she has to do.
