Nice that Mary could attend. That's a sweet picture of Mary and the girl.
The family must know each other very well. Theirs was one of the weddings Mary and Frederik attended in 2002.

And Helle is Vincent's godmother.

It was with the Reedtz-Thotts that Mary first stayed when she came to DK. IIRC.
At their manor at Gavnø.

That was before Mary officially got a job at Microsoft and an apartment of her own. But de facto she moved in at Frederik's apartment at Amalienborg.

As such the Reedtz-Thotts are close and very trusted friends of M&F.

I suppose Holger is attending Herluftsholm and perhaps he inspired Christian to go there as well?

And CPSS Mary is Holger's godmother (ie. the one who carried Holger when he was baptised, not "just" a witness. Helle is "just" a witness to Vincent)

And Gavnø Slot is located say 3-5 minutes drive from Næstved City

Yes, all the three Gavnø-children attends Herlufsholm. I don't know whether they are day-pupils or full boarding-pupils. I suspect the latter ...

A few weeks ago Frederik visited Knud Rasmussen's House in connection with an interview.
During the visit, the Crown Prince was presented with the museum's new book, "Knud Rasmussen and Knud Rasmussen's House". The book is supported by the Queen Margrethe's and Prince Henrik's Foundation.

Knud Rasmussen was a Dane exploring Greenland, especially northern Greenland. - A blank spot on the world map, even for the Greenlanders, because the few who knew the area, didn't share their knowledge outside a close circle of fellow hunters. Who pretty much constituted their whole world. The population of Greenland at the time must have been less than 10.000. Around 5.000 seem realistic in fact.
Anyway, Knud Rasmussen lived like a native. The only way to really survive in that part of the world.
It's generally acknowledged, also by QMII, that he probably fathered some children there. (As did the other Danish members of the expeditions.)
The reason was very simple, when a guest was welcomed to a hamlet, he (it was mainly men who were hunters) was invited to have intercourse with the women in that hamlet. Thus helping to avoid inbreeding. A very practical solution.

Another article on Mary attending her god-son's confirmation. Frederik joined her for the celebration dinner afterwards.

Mary has participated in an equestrian competition this weekend: https://www.bt.dk/royale/kronprinses...ling-fordi-hun

She participated in two classes at medium level.

- Bedtime, so I'll leave further details to someone else.

The 5:23 minute video of Mary riding in the equestrian competition was a thing of beauty. I didn't read through to find out her score but... well done Princess Mary!!

polyesco · #**189** 05-09-2021, 06:22 PM

I love that she is participating more and more in this hobby. She looks fantastic.

The article says that the vallak (castrated horse) Mary rode, is spirited, so it wasn't the easiest task to control him. But she managed fine.
He, Blue Hors Edelman, is owned by the Lego-family, with whom the DRF, not least M&F but also Joachim and our Marie are connected through personal friendship.
Mary rode for Frederiksværk Equestrian Club.
The town of Frederiksværk is located in the generally affluent Northern Zealand, not that far from Fredensborg Palace.

Happy 17th wedding anniversary to Frederik & Mary today, 14. May

17 years! Where has time gone?!
The most beautiful, romantic, touching and alluring royal wedding. A day I think no Dane will ever forget. A day I think most Danes remember clearly. Frederik's redemptive tears as his beautiful, nervous but brave Mary walked down the aisle with her very proud father in his Scottish kilt. Frederik and Mary were so young, sweet, nervous and so sparkling in love. What a journey to today where they look at each other with the same flirtatious tenderness and love.

A gallery looking back:

Frederik’s tears watching his bride walking down the aisle:

Loved their bridal waltz. Perhaps not the most accurate bridal waltz choreographically

But so young, sweet and nervous that you only can love them.

Time flies!

Seventeen years, that's how long I have roamed the royal boards. I signed up when M&F were engaged, because so much crap was posted about her.

I clearly remember the first gala dinner Mary attended, when she was engaged. She looked like a frightened deer caught in the headlights of a truck.
Today she looks and behaves like she was born a royal.

Ohhh time flies for sure!!! My love for royals all began when Felipe and Letizia became engaged, but the first royal wedding I watched was Frederik and Mary's wedding since it was a week before Felipe and Letizia's wedding. I remember that I was so excited to buy the Hola magazine after the wedding so that I could see all the pictures, and dresses, and tiaras and jewels...I was only 13 years old back then. I began to buy all Holas about royal weddings. But I lost the 2 most important Holas when I moved houses 2 years later (both Frederik and Mary's wedding and Felipe and Letizia's wedding)...I'm still so bitter about it...Those were my heirlooms.

Search OLX. I already bought some magazines over there.
I also became interested in royalty with the marriage of Felipe and Letizia.
It is interesting to follow the growth of Leonor, Christian and other princes of this generation.

Crown Prince Frederik has received his first vaccination dose today and shared a photo of that:

"Today I got my first injection. Thank you to all of you who help us on our way back to a normal everyday life".

** Pic ** instagram post **

polyesco · #**197** 05-18-2021, 11:37 AM

How nice to see! Just like the picture of him receiving a haircut last year, I'm glad they released a picture. It serves as a small motivation.

Roskilde · #**198** 05-18-2021, 02:19 PM

Good to see. Frederik has official events in the coming days, so I hope he doesn’t get sick after his first dose. F&M follows the vaccine calendar. Frederik's age is being vaccinated now. Mary can expect to be vaccinated from around May 24th.

Mary at an equestrian event this weekend, where Princess Benedikte and Princess Nathalie are also present.

Archduchess Zelia · #**200** 05-24-2021, 01:57 AM

That's so neat that they met up at the National Championship! Seeing Benedikte's attendance in the calendar, I did wonder if Mary would be there too. I think Isabella also attended a couple of years ago.

And exciting times ahead for Nathalie. Not her first Olympics but her first as coach for the national team.
