Dad and I did enjoy looking at it all. To the point he feels we should pack and head over for a visit.

I told my husband that when we visited Denmark, a trip to the bakery is a must

Thank you Muhler for the photos because they remind me of my long ago trips to France and more recent ones to visit my husband's family in Germany. His relatives spoiled us every day with the morning trek to the bakery.

According to "Hola", Crown Princess Mary is in Palma de Mallorca

Mary de Dinamarca también se apunta a las vacaciones en Mallorca ** Google Translation

The Google translate link does not work for me. Is she with Letizia and Felipe? Their names were mentioned in the article.

It says that King Felipe is already in Palma while Queen Letizia will arrive in the coming hours.

Thank you, Marika86. Looks like Mary is indulging in some retail therapy with a girlfriend while Frederik is away.

It's Birgitte Handwerk

One of Mary's very closest friends, married with Jeppe Handwerk (probably Frederik's closest friend).

I wonder whether she will meet up privately with Felipe and Letizia.
It's nice seeing her enjoying her summer holiday and traveling. Do we know when she arrived and if the kids are with her?

polyesco · #**429** 08-01-2015, 03:01 PM

Nice weekend trip for Mary. I wonder if they will stay a few days and have Frederik meet up with them or maybe it was a girl's only weekend trip

carlota · #**430** 08-02-2015, 07:33 AM

the article mentions that it is possible she is with frederik in palma, as the sailing competition Copa del Rey de Vela is taking place. she was also spotted shopping at Paseo del Borne, San Jaime and San Nicolás.

amaryllus · #**431** 08-02-2015, 07:39 AM

Sounds like this is a kids free vacation.As parents of four they need times like these :)

This is actually not possible since Frederik was (and still is, as I write this) in Malaysia from 30th July to 3rd August. And the Copa takes place from 1-8 August. But perhaps he will join Mary after tomorrow.

Maybe they will meet up later, Frederik is currently in Malaysia until August 3 for IOC meetings and some danish business promotion events .

Judging from the heartwarm interaction we have seen between Mary and King Felipe not that long ago, perhaps Mary was invited down for the weekend. Now that she is a grass-widow. (*)

(*) Idiom. Grass widow/widower = When the husband or wife is away.

Lol. Felipe would be a grass widow too, I don't think Letizia has arrived yet.
Felipe I believe is Vincent ' s godparent
I think Mary went there with some of her danish friends. But hopefully there is a reunion of some kind, maybe Frederik can fly to Spain for a few days of sun after Malaysia

Major royalty is still such a small select group...They can be free and Unbourdon themselves with People in the same odd glorified position who understand exactly.

TLLK · #**437** 08-02-2015, 04:39 PM

Good point amaryllus. They are the only ones who can truly understand the situation.

Muhler · #**438** 08-02-2015, 05:01 PM

Indeed. And that's why it's good to see the more primary royals associate and form personal friendships. I.e. the present younger monarchs and CP-couples in particular.
A by-product of these relationships is that their children will eventually meet and perhaps form bonds as well from an early age. - And who knows, the next royal-royal marriage may be founded within the next ten years. (*)

As Amaryllus pointed out, their positions are unique and their club very exclusive and it is no secret that they exchange ideas and benefit from each others experiences. Especially, I can imagine, the commoner spouses.
It is certainly a beneficial network that it would be a shame, perhaps even unwise, to opt out of.

(*) Let me see.
With 4 Danish children.
So far 1 Swedish child.
2 Spanish girls.
3 Dutch daughters.
3 Norwegian.
4 from Belgium.
(And these are just the children of the primary royals).
There is a reasonable chance that two of them will fall in love within the next ten-fifteen years or so.

I've omitted the Monaco family and the Luxemburg family, because I'm not certain they interact that much with the other royal families.
If I'm wrong that only widens the field.
I also left out the Greek royals, because chances are that Greece will remain a republic, so they are destined to become commoners within a generation or two.
And finally I left out the British children. Because unless W&K join the current younger royal network, George and Charlotte will only have limited interaction with the other royal children, while they are still children.

according to this note, Mary and the kids have been in Mallorca for the past few days

Thanks, Polyesco.

Perhaps they all needed to see the sun? You know, that bright yellow thingy in the sky the legends here in Denmark speak of.

Yeah, okay, now that most people's summer holiday is over, the summer has started again.

Anyway, I can add that she and the children lived in a secluded and very discreet house.
Mary was supposed to have visited Queen Letizia, but that had to be cancelled due to the death of her grandfather.

Isn't that Josephine in the front? With the back to the camera. Same hat as Bella.
