Although Victoria did attend Joachim and Marie's wedding, it seems that the real friendship is between Victoria and Frederik, and now Mary. I did not realize that Joachim wasn't on the same friendship level with her as his brother. Marie will come into these circles gradually, especially...

There were pictures taken during her honeymoon in which she was smoking.

Does Marie get her royal perks 24/7? Yes, she does. She should also be mindful of what she is doing 24/7. She, and anyone else in a position which is regarded separate from the rest (this can include politicians as well, and we know about all of those recent behaviors). The other point I'd...

I certainly seem to be in the minority. Nonetheless, I truly believe that married women should not go nightclubbig with men who are not their husbands, or should inlcude the husband when going in a group of the opposite sex. Men should have the courtesy and consideration to refrain from going...

I appreciate the "boys will be boys" quote. That is precisely my point. Once the precedents are set, there is no turning back. Joaquim did his fair share of going about town, to bars, private parties, indeed he was even flirting in Australia at the bar where Frederik met Mary, all of this...

I refer to Joaquim as her prince as a result of the references they made during their engagement interview where it was stated that although he was a prince asking for Marie's hand in marriage, that her family considered her their "little princess", their "jewel". The Duchess of York, Diana...

You've missed the point. A nightclub at night is very different from having time with one's friends. She has a certain place in the social hierarchy of Denmark and should remember this. She is not Marie Cavallier any more. There is a difference. It has nothing to do with being or not...

Of course she isn't his property, and this is 2010, but that doesn't keep people from making poor decisions. If you want to have an evening out with friends, far better to do it privately, not in a public night club. Women, just like men, have every opportunity to make poor decisions, dress...

Yes. The other laissez-faire attitude sets precedents that may lead to difficulties later. Far better to avoid what can become awkward later. We've all read about Joaquim's issues with Alexandra. Hard to say who started what, or who did what, but it's best to stay away from trouble...

Going shopping or to a luncheon with women friends is one thing. Attending a formal gala with an escort is also in the same category. Going to a private party at someone's home is also acceptable, as are public events which are considered one's royal duties. However, nightclubbing which will...

I had no idea that this man was gay. However, I still prefer princesses with their husbands or family, I think.

I find it a little unusual and uncomfortable for a princess to be seen on an evening out with her hairdresser and her prince nowhere in sight. It reminds me of the way Stephanie of Monaco behaves - unbecoming to say the least.

Princess Mary looked the absolutely best of all I think. Regal, simple, with her ivory skin, dark hair just so, makeup complementing the entire effect. Her dress fit her perfectly and had enough interest without overwhelming the whole effect (like the orange ball gown she wore at the New Year...

Yes, Marie looks very confident in this dark outfit. It's a very big contrast to the evening gowns she wore to celebrate the queen's birthday. Though she is now experimenting with different styles and colors for evening wear, she still hasn't hit the mark, in my opinion. Mary, on the other...

It's possible that Marie stayed on in Geneva, where she still has her apartment. She did that last year, as I remember, visiting with her mother and stepfather --- maybe also friends --- while the boys return to Cophenhagen with their father to resume their studies.

Thank you for posting additional pictures. It is nice to finally see the kitchen, which has been talked about for quite a while in different magazines / threads. The pictures are great, of a couple enjoying their baby in a very natural way. Putting little Henrik on the counter (or island)...

I think that Joachim must certainly have spoken at least to Alexandra (if not her mother and sisters as well) when he learned of his former father-in-law's death. I remember how emphatic he was when the engagement interview took place and he was asked about the Manleys continuing to live at...

Yes, the pictures show a really happy couple with their baby. I'm sure the queen and Prince Henrik are also happy for their second son. Their two sons are in good marriages and the sparkle shows through. Is there a chance that Iceflower can post a few more pictures? There is so much mention...

I think the explanation that was given is a good one. It would have been very different if he was still single. Considering how close the inlaws were to Joachim, lifing right there on the grounds at Schackenborg for so many years, it's a little strange that he wouldn't be at the funeral, but...

Can anyone please translate the article, or the gist of the article which explains Joachim's absence from the funeral of his former father-in-law?

I really thought Joachim would be there.

Yes, Mary is usually in the spotlight, it's something that happens almost every day. Marie, on the other hand, makes the most of it on the few occasions that she has. Granted, she is a beautiful woman and has started to emerge with her own sense of style. Mary is more comfortable, is used to...

Don't they usually go to Switzerland with the boys? This would be the first time in the snow for Henrik, perhaps Marie's family will be there. I gather that one of her brothers is a ski instructor there (from previous posts).

Perhaps once Marie gets started with her patronages and commands the Danish language a bit better, she will be awarded honors and decorations.

Yes, Joachim has a more formal look to him. Even his hair is cropped close to his head, in a military type style. Last year, when he and Marie were in Russia, he let it grow a bit longer. One could see the natural wave and he appeared more continental, better, less rigid. When he stands...
