Nothing, in my opinion, can beat the personal touch of a direct visit.

Not a boring interview at all, dear Muhler and thank you for sharing it with the rest of us non-Danes! Impressive are not only the insights expressed by the crown prince couple on the differences between mainland China and Hong Kong, but the also the PR smarts shown by the Crown Princess, who is quick to correct her somewhat 'off message' husband to provide a tightly scripted picture of home and hearth! Bravo

lol...yes I see Frederik is once again trying to be funny "aw the kids, did they miss us?, just give them a bunch of presents, they'll be fine"

reminds me of the interview where he said that his mother is the queen of England . A lovely interview and then he tries to be funny

You are all welcome.

Even though I focused mostly on what Frederik had to say, it was actually Mary who said most in the interview.
And in her usual style, - she's not brief when she has a message to get across. And that's great, because they would also have spoken to the Chinese press.

I stumbled across this Jubii gallery of M&F in China: Frederik og Mary i Hong Kong - Jubii Galleri

Let's go through some of them: http://galleri.jubii.dk/royal/freder...billede/369196
Mary looking admiringly at her husband, for being able to maintain his balance with only one hand in his pockets.

Mary's dress is in a relly pleasing hue of blue, methinks. Notice the Chinese gentleman over Frederik's shoulder. He was like glued to Frederik during their vsit to Hong Kong.

Frederik, naturally, allowing his wife to go first and take the limelight.

frederik seem most allured by this loudspeaker. If Mary is anything like Mrs. Muhler, there would no way in this world such loudspeakers would ever find their way inside Amalienborg.

Thanks Muhler, I love your sense of humor. Especially the one about the loudspeakers is spot on!
