I don't recall this event at all. But here is Joachim and our Marie visiting the village Breininge on the very scenic island of Ærø earlier this year.

Thanks, Iceflower.

A nice little text. Seems like Athena stole the show and she was most interested in the horses! Perhaps a new rider in the DRF has emerged?

I'm not sure about the boys though. No steering wheel on these things and where is the clutch?

ADDED: Here is a BT gallery of the Hubertus Hunt: http://www.bt.dk/danmark/se-billeder...ehaven#slide-1
As you can tell the favorite among the audience is the pond the riders have to go through. This year one fell in - and got applauded for her shall we say, ordeal.

ADDED: Notice this pic: http://b.bimg.dk/node-images/858/7/x...-dyrehaven.jpg
The focus is on bette Henrik, but you can see Felix' hand next to Athena's hair, so I guess lil-sis is getting her share of attention as well.

Always fun to see this event (in pics)
Usually its Henrik in charge, did he not attend this year?

No, he was otherwise engaged. - Read: a refugee from the Danish weather. - Which has actually been almost record warm this October.

From the pictures, it looks like you're having a beautiful autumn in Denmark. Very pretty countryside, too.

Nice to see Athena out and about.

[Muhler]

I see in one of the pics that Nikolai is holding Athena's hand.

This is a nice pic of our Marie: http://royalista.com/wp-content/imag...ure--h=500.jpg


Yes, the trees have now decided to shed the last leaves - that keeps those of us with a garden and downspouts occupied...
Some say November is the most depressing month in DK. I don't agree, the Christmas lunches are coming up at the end of this month.
February is depressing though. By then the winter has lasted long enough and you are getting stir crazy.

Summary of article in Billed Bladet #45, 2014.
Written by our equestrian reporter Helle Skram de Friis.

Because Prince Henrik was in China, it was Joachim and our Marie who represented the DRF this year at the Hubertus Hunt, where some 33.000 people had turned up in Dyrehaven north of Copenhagen.
The Hubertus Hunt has taken place on the first Sunday in November since 1900.
Joachim has actually taken part in a mounted hunt, but that was 23 years ago.
While the boys didn't look that impressed with one hp horses racing, it was another thing with Athena, she was most interested in the horses.
Felix and Nikolai were seen being the attentive older brothers to Athena and bette Henrik.
Athena also appears to be the only DRF child with brown eyes, as you can see for yourself in one the links below:

Thursday evening Joachim and our Marie returned to Schackenborg to watch amateur theater about Hans Schack who got Schackenborg as a fief and who in 1651 forced the locals, pretty heavy-handedly to build the manor:

Even though the weather was great last night, Marie was sensibly attired in a coat.

A gallery from the play: http://www.jv.dk/modules/jv/gallery/?articleId=2040522
For the historically interested, the peasants wear what was every-day clothes of the period, except that their hair is too neat (male peasants at the time were notorious for having long unkempt hair).
Since before the Viking age, unmarried girls wore their hair without a scarf in their sparetime and also when working when it was practical, while married women always wore a headscarf or some sort of bonnet.

Wooden shoes were not yet common.

Brief summary of article in Billed Bladet #52, 2015.
Written by Henrik Salling.

Joachim and our Marie did indeed go to the French embassy to see the premiere of the new series, which is about the court of Louis XVI.

Outside the embassy the square is made from cobble stones, and stilettos and cobblestones don't mix, so Marie nearly fell, fortunately the ambassador got hold of her. As you can see in the article.

Well inside they were met by two pretty adorable flowergirls in the shape of eight year old Anna and six year old Viktoria.
Present was also PH's nephew, Charles-Henri Keller, who has been studying in Copenhagen for years, along with his Danish sweetheart, Nathalia Harris. (That name is familiar but I can't remember why).

J&M were invited, partly because they do quite a lot to improve Danish-French relations, but also because of the support by the DRF after the recent terror attack in Paris.

Perhaps you think of Bende and Preben Harris, the directors of Folketeatret through a long period of over 25 years, IIRC :)

[Hannelore]

Interesting that Henrik's nephew attended! To what extent do the French family members have a bond with Denmark? Are there any others who have lived in DK as well?

Yes, there´s at least one other newphew, who has lived and find his wife here in Denmark. But can I remember his name? Nope

today Joachim and Marie participate in the selection of Danish-Icelandic Society's 100th anniversary.

An upcoming trip for them,
" Prince Joachim and Princess Marie participate in the selection of Danish-Icelandic Society's 100th anniversary on January 21 to 22. Reykjavik, Iceland."

They haven't really had any official events overseas, looking forward to it
