Very cute.

They started out as two little boys, assisting the guardsmen with among other things keeping subversive looking pigeons away from the square.
And now they have been joined by a third.

They are so often at Amalienborg Square that they have become a little tourist attraction in their own right.

I believe they have their own Instagram or Twitter account.

Beside that Frederik i extremely handsome I like him so much because of his nature so down to earth! So lovely this photos !and it says so much about him!

This is just the cutest thing today! What a great moment and to take the time for some pics and a chat.
Another photo and message from the proud parent of the twins.

I seem to recall another instant where Frederik was out jogging and said hi to them as he went by.

There is no mentioning of the third little guardsman in the description, but the mother to the twins Malthe and William wrote this:
Vi var inde til vagtskifte og så kom 2 herre ned og spurgte om det var i orden at Kronprinsen lige kom ned og hilste.. og det var det selvfølgelig

We attended a change of the guards and then two gentlemen came down and asked if it would be alright if the Crown Prince came down to say hello - and of course it was.

It was a great experience for the boys, tells mother later on. They talked about all the way home, while they sat in the bike. (Presumably a Nihola or Christiania Bike.

This is a Christiania Bike: https://www.aadum.com/wp-content/upl...IMG_7256-b.jpg

And this is a Nihola: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pr...SSL-KE_N2lJ01D

Frederik has been seen driving his children to kindergarten in a Nihola.

- They were completely speechless.*It was Crown Prince Frederik who came there, says Rene Olsen.

The uniforms are very sharp

[Muhler]

Rene Olsen is the boys dad.

But the boys were too shy to talk to Frederik.

They went to Amalienborg to meet with the third and older boy, Carl.

[Alisa]

Awwwe..how lovely!!! What a sweet and humble Crown Prince!

[Muhler]

It's no secret that Mary, if not actively assist in LGBT-rights, then certainly offer her support. - I know from other sources that Mary is held in very high regard in LGBT circles in certainly Copenhagen. (I'll link to that if you really want to, but it's mentioned en passant in a couple of videos. Most of which is irrelevant to this forum.)

Anyway, a survey has been published about the public opinion in regards to Mary involvement in LGBT rights and lifestyle.
And that is favorable!
You can see a graph in this article: https://www.bt.dk/royale/kronprinses...-sag-jeg-gerne

Yellow to red shows the percentage who do agree with Mary supporting the LGBT community and those who are undecided.
Lilac and blue are in agreement.
Green are indifferent.

Those who disagree are mainly to be found on the religious right and among some segments of the national-conservative right.
(I should perhaps mention that the leader of the Conservative party is a gay man.)
So Mary has an overwhelming political backing in the Parliament.

And Mary's comment yesterday to the people who think she should stay away from the subject of LGBTI+ rights:

Denmark has been a forerunner for LGBTI+ rights both nationally and globally, and it is a cause I want to encourage/help further.

Good to see them back the national team and good to see that going to a soccer match no longer just a "guy-thing." The more women, the fewer troublemakers among the spectators at soccer matches IMO.

That was sweet, with Vincent asking mother how his scarf is sitting. - Fine.
With the man greeting them saying that he, Vincent, looks smashing.

That was cute, and if he follows in his dad's footsteps, there will be more scarf wearing

I love Vincent. Such a sweet kid. IMO, he is the most sensitive out of the 4 kids.

I see Mary with her phone out and I can only imagine Frederik telling her, you better tape some of this for me!! Or better yet, facetime me the match...no one in Iceland will notice I am on my phone for 3 hours or more...especially not the President and First Lady!

[Muhler]

Well, she may have told him that DK won the match and is now to take part in the World Cup in Qatar.

Whether M&F will attend the matches in Qatar is not a certainty, given the controversy regarding migrant workers' plight there.
But that is of course a discussion we will eventually see here on TRF, both in the DRF thread and in the threads of other royal families.
So far the Danish PM has stated, yesterday, that sport and politics should not be mixed and that is a clear indication that the DRF, and that very much means M&F will attend the matches.
But of course, the political winds can change...
