I for one am thrilled that Prince Joachim looks, sounds, and acts very happy. Although he gets little media attention he does work hard for Denmark and is very articulate. Actually both Joachim & Marie have lovely speaking voices and both speak various languages.
I do hope Marie has a very fancy tiara-style wedding (afterall its her first) and they invite the many Crown Royals for her to meet them and become more in tune with the "family"---besides Denmark does huge gala's so beautifully.
On another Board it was mentioned that the CP Couple did "not" attend the engagement lunch------does anyone know if that is true ??? If its true that would be a huge media-blunder and we will never hear the end of it

Well it seams that they are having now a family party at Fredensborg so it seams that Mary was at home this afternnon preparing things for the party, Frederick and Mary gave that party to them! Although something telling me that Marie and Mary will not be best friends!

I personally don't find it discrete to invite the press into your home, pose for them, tell them you love a man but haven't told him yet, tell them it's not his fault that his marriage failed, tell them you are not dating him anymore, tell them that they will have plenty of photo-opportunities in the future, ~ 2 weeks before the engagement announcement...
I mean, nothing of this was really bad but discrete? Certainly not. We got all those infos from her and I think her behaviour towards the press was quite different than that of Mary, Maxima and Mette-Marit.
My remark was not meant as a criticism, it was simply a reply to someone who said Marie proofed she can be discrete because she didn't say anything about the engagement. As a matter of fact she gave the press a hint.

Why? Maybe Mary is really happy to get another woman in the royal family... I think any rivalry would be childish, they really can become friends or at leats be friendly to each other, if they are both mature...
i am really surprised at this Mary vs Marie, I thought there would be more Alexandra vs Marie...

Great news! I just saw the pictures of this morning and they look so happy! I guess we were expecting this but it still took me by suprise. I didn't see Mary though in the pictures with the danish government earlier.

it's annoying...
Mary and Frederik make a party for Joachim and Marie.
What does it tell us? Right- Mary and Marie will never get along well.
That's not very logical, in my opinion.

as far as I know Mary isn't part of the constitution (only the Queen, Prince Consort and the Crown Prince). This is why she wasn't at the meeting of the Danish Parliament.

I hope that they are very happy! I do not think that there will be a problem with Mary and Marie. Mary knows her role and that she will be the next Queen. Marie also know this as well.

I have just said that it is my felling that they will not be best friends like going shopping together! But if the party is at Fredensborg we can assume that Frderick and Mary are involved in that!

Does anyone think this will be a smaller wedding attended by representatives of the royal families or do you think the crown royals will come out? I'm thinking smaller scale?

Her teeth are reallyyy white...
On the press conference, maybe I didn't listen properly, but I thought she said something about Mary's fascinating background and her being really nice and simple, when asked? (something with simple and great simplicity) It was a while before the question if she could learn anything from her.

Did a few day ago she dropped a hint to photographers that they will soon have an official occasion to picture her and Prince Joachim. Then we all wonder what did she meant "official occasion" picture. Well, sure enough, few days later the royal family announced her engagement to Prince Joachim. She cannot kept quite.

I hope so, too... But they said they hope for a private wedding, so what does that mean? Only family?
