:previous: Thank you for that polyesco :flowers: I have been waiting for HQ pictures ever since I saw the once of Josephine kissing the little boy (according to BT she asked first, like a proper little princess).
 
I've been away from the computer for half a day - and all these new wonderful pictures have come... As someone else mentioned, this Greenland-trip may be one of the best royal trips ever! We get tons of new cute pictures of the whole family every day.

All the pictures from today is a pleasure to watch.

Josephine giving all her love to the little local baby and give him a kiss - after asking for permission first of course, proper little princess already. How sweet is this? :wub: :wub:

All four children handled this trip brilliantly. Happy, friendly and open minded. But Josephine really packs a punch on the trip, doesn't she? She has a very infectious smile.

Christian and Isabella are natural talents. You can see they really enjoy the trip.

I think we undoubtedly can say that this trip is a big hit and it's covered tightly. Both online and on both of our main tv news channels. I have noticed that the last gallery with Josephine kissing the little baby has been BT.dk's most read story throughout the evening.

Here a video from BB of our little football star.

More great photos, thanks all for the links.

The photos of Josephine with the little boy are very sweet, in the many photos, we get to see what a lovely outgoing little girl she is, I always thought she was a little shy.
I agree the children have been brilliant, they have all had a busy few days, and can only think what a wonderful experience this is for the children and of course if they get a little tired mum and dad are there to cuddle up to.

a lovely post by tumblr royalwatcher
"10 Years Later
In June 2004, the newly married Crown Prince Couple joined the Queen and Prince Henrik on an extended trip to Greenland. The trip was an introduction for the Crown Princess to Greenland.
10 years later, the Crown Prince Couple are now introducing their four children to Greenland."

One more gallery from yesterday with 20 pictures

See how sweet and naturally the foursome greet the people. From older people to babies.

Kongehuset - Forside

Kongehuset.dk has turned into a Greenland page :p You can see galleries from each day and each town at the website.

Another thing; F&M and children has been very lucky with the weather. Expect for one morning, they have had sun, blue sky and plus degrees every day. And then Greenland really shows itself from the best side. Just look at this picture of Dannebrog yesterday:

Here's the weather for the town they will visit today (and no, I haven't a clue about how to pronounce this town's name)

So far this has been a lovely visit, it's great to see all the kids getting involved in different things and beings seen out. I find it a fun, casual and a family visit.
 
thank again for all these wonderful photos from greenland..a headline for this trip must be love..love between frederik&mary, between frederik&mary and their kids, between the four siblings and between the family and the people:)

it a pleasure to see all four children so much everyday. you can see they are brought up with love and empathy.

Wow what a wonderful time I am having viewing the pictures. The children are thoroughly enjoying themselves with Josephine being a little star. Isabella looks stunning in the national outfit. There is just so much love in this family it's as if it jumps out at you from the pictures.
 
TV2 video where we can hear not only the people of Greenland call the twins Minik and Ivalo, but when they are in Greenland Frederik and Mary as well. At the beginning of the video we can hear Frederik say: "I'm sailing with Isabella, and Ivalo with her mother."

The visit today in Qeqertarsuatsiaat is the last visit before F&M and the children will hold two private days with private program - before we again see them all to official program again on Friday.

I'm loving this visit so far. :D The children have been great throughout, and I like how they seem to mix in with the crowds easily, although Vincent seems to be a little shy at times - it was adorable when he covered his face with his coat. :lol: Christian seems to be a sweet little boy, and I thought it was cute when he picked up the little girl's tiara after she had dropped it. Characteristics wise, Isabella and Josephine are so alike, I wonder if Josephine has been taking some advice from her big sister. The photos of her kissing the baby are too cute.

OK, I feel that I have used the words 'love', 'adorable' and 'cute' too much now!

That's a nice nod to Greenland from Frederik. I wonder if he calls the twins Minik and Ivalo privately, or just when he's talking about them to the Greenlandic media.

LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!:wub: I will also be over using love, adorable, beautiful, perfect after viewing these pictures. What can I say about Josephine and Vincent, are there 2 cuter children in this world, they are so adorable!! Bella is typical Bella, which I happen to LOVE!!! Her character just shines no matter where she is! I can't get over the great way the kids greeted everyone and just acted so natural. What an amazing young man Christian is already, I can't help but think that his dad and mum are giving him such a strong foundation training wise for his future role, without making it boring or scary. To see how much the children interact and love each other is priceless, Christian is such a fabulous big brother, both twins depend on him and he seems to be a natural leader. I can't wait to continue to see these wonderful children grow up. Fabulous job Mary and Fredrick on being parents in today total fishbowl world.
 
TV2 news at 19.00 had a segment of the Greenland visit again today.

This time the family visited a hamlet that had not had a royal visit before, so that was commemorated with a plaque, apparantly unveiled by the children.

A local girl age ten had found a bird, an abandoned chick, which she showed to the guests and Bella and Josephine in particular were fascinated.

- I read in an article posted here how Mary and her youngest daughter were out in a paddle boat, as we have now seen several galleries of. Apparantly Josephine was of the opinion that she should be the one steering the boat, to which calmly replied: "You are, - I'm merely helping".

Frederik and Christian decided to explore a small island, actually little more than a large rock in the fjord and the locals immediatly started to debate among themselves whether to call the island Christian's Island.

Judging from comments the Greenlanders are very delighted indeed that M&F and especially the children wore national suits, and be wearing such diverse suits everyone are pleased.

As Muhler writes, a local girl found a little baby bird. Bella got to hold it. And littlesister Ivalo? Yeah, she was allowed to touch it :p But that didn't maked her less fascinated.

From each series of pictures I see, the more I just want to visit Greenland. What a landscape!

A delightful picture of the girls going ga-ga over the baby bird. Josephine is all like: "Oh, isn't it just too cute?"

And here is a video from today scoring pretty high on the cute scale. Isabella says about the bird "look, it sleeps" and few seconds after Josephine says the same.

As you can see the official unveiling with Vincent and Josephine went very fast. Frederik tries pedagogically with a "wait, we count to three...1... 2..." but before he finished his sentence a excited Vincent had loudly and fast counted to three on his own and unveiled the memorial plaque :lol:

What a treat to see this lovely family in action and so many pictures. The children are all so natural, not self conscious and interested in others and the activities instead of themselves. The siblings all get along and especially Christian is obviously such a kind big brother as I have always loved hi. Fred and Mary have done a wonderful job as parents and have a lot of patience and energy. I knew they were singing it's bitsy spider
 
They really always do look so happy and natural. There are other sites that seem to always be looking for the bad in this family... And they have to stretch pretty far to find it.

Article with pictures and some info from the visit.
Yesterday, was a warm and sunny day. In Greenland that means around 5-10 degrees and bright sun. The lively foursome can't really concentrate on the long speechs and the choral singing, but fooling a bit around with each other until mum tell them that they now have to be a bit quiet. It happens sometimes, but eventually Mary shakes her head while smiling. Children ;)
A citizen of Qeqertarsuatsiaat is quoted as saying: "It's a wonderful and unforgettable day, they are so human, and the children are just lovely. They play with the other children. This is a lovely addition to our history in the village."

ADDED:
Have we seen this picture? Christian and Ivalo ready to run 'Free For Bullying' relay race with the local school.
https://scontent-b-ams.xx.fbcdn.net...629_279175602269863_8512585852951810452_n.jpg

Incidentally, The Mary Foundation's Free For Bullying campaign is integrated in all kindergartens and schools in Greenland.

No pics today... Today and tomorrow F&M and children will have private days and their own private program. I can imagine there awaits them some exciting private experiences. On Friday we will see them all again when they arrive in the capital Nuuk for an official visit. I almost haven't could accommodate all these marvelous pictures we have get every day, so maybe it is good with a little break :lol:

Nice pic of Ivalo - all this royal work can be hard when you are only 3 years old!

It is lovely that we get to the see children for these days and see just how gentle and kind all the children are with others and each other and the love within the family. A caring and beautiful family.

The photos with the bird are so sweet. Love the one of Josephine and Vincent looking at the plaque as if they can read all that is written and of Vincent shaking hands, nice that he is feeling a little better.

Womans Day has a small article and a few photos from the first couple of days.

This three pictures are wonderful.
the last one is Frederik and his mini-me in feminine form lol

Nice that they have some time off to enjoy Greenland on their own
Dont they have one event tomorrow, August 7th? in the evening.
Official Dinner in Nuuk
 
If you think you can handle a cuteness overdose more, here is a video from yesterday:
VIDEO: Prins Christian gjorde kronprins Frederik stolt i Paamiut | Billed Bladet

First of Dannebrog arriving. She's beautiful, isn't she?

Then the usual greetings. Bella now knows the drill...
Notice how Christian, holding Josephine in his hand, does things correctly. One is after all the older sibling...

Three PET officers, so security is after all pretty high.

Christian and to some extent Josephine took part in a relay for children and Christian kept up the speed and ended up among the very first, pleasing dad

Once again thank you all for posting such lovely pics of such a lovely family,they are a credit to Denmark, you Danes must be very proud of each and everyone of them.
 
Great moments in that video. Thanks for sharing, Muhler.

My favourites:

Dannebrog and the scenery: wow.
Bella greeting people, ahah, so funny.
Poor Mary, like any mother, paying attention to the event with one eye and to her children with the other. In this case, telling Vincent to sit down.
Seconds later, Josephine really liked that child, no? She didn't take her hands out of him and even called Mum to see it.
At the end, Christian and Josephine's leg. LOL
 
Thanks to everyone who took the time to post the links and photos. Cuteness overload indeed! Although the twins seemed a little overwhelmed at times (especially Vincent) there have been no public meltdowns. Good planning and good parenting on M&F's part. :flowers:
