Summary of article in Billed Bladet #5, 2019.
Written by Ulrik Ulriksen and Annemette Mikkelsen (an intern?)

As you know the CP-family cheered on the Danish team at the recent handball finals, with Isabella as the most enthusiastic supporter. (Handball is extremely popular among especially females of all ages here in DK BTW. Something about fond childhood memories of standing in a circle tossing a ball to each other I guess. ?)
Apart from cheering the Danish team, exploding in pure jubilation when they scored, putting her hands up in despair when the Norwegian team managed to score, and taking part in the wave, Bella and family also joined the communal singing: Sailing up the river.
Where you lock arms and rock from side to side singing a lyric you have to very drunk to forget!

After the match Frederik presented medals and something that looked like an ashtray to the players and as many of them got a hug as well, including one player with the nickname, His Majesty.
A son of one of the players, Linus age nine, is a kind of mascot for the team and Isabella was seen shaking his hand.

Ulrik Ulriksen is not above "qualified speculations" in his articles. He wrote that Josephine opted for a cozy evening at home - probably in front of the telly watching the match.
I don't believe that one. Nor do I believe she was ill. More likely she had a playdate or attended a birthday she wouldn't want to miss. (The family would after all have left in the early afternoon to arrive in time.)

The group photo of the family that was posted on the DRF Instagram site has been the post with most likes so far.
 
The same day the Queen visits Estonia June 15, Frederik and Mary will visit Vordingborg for the celebration of the Danish National flag Dannebrog's 800th anniversary.

"The background for the celebration of the 800th anniversary of Dannebrog in the royal town of Vordingborg is that it was here that King Valdemar resided in Vordingborg Castle. Legend has it that the Danish flag fell from the sky during the Battle of Lyndanisse in Estonia June 15, 1219, where Valdemar fought against Estonians. With Dannebrog as war flag Valdemar beat the Estonians, and then the northern part of Estonia was a duchy under the Danish crown until Valdemar IV sold the holding in 1346th"

"We know from previous visits from the Royal House how popular it is, and I have no doubt that the Crown Prince Couple's participation in the celebration of Dannebrog will make it an even greater public party, which many will participate in, ”says Mayor Mikael Smed."

M&F also went up in the Goose-Tower. That's the hallmark of the town of Vordingborg.
It used to be a part of a castle. The Goose-tower is named thus in order to mock the Hanseatic League, who used a bird of some sort as a symbol. Whatever the bird was, I'm sure it was more... impressive... than a goose.

I think the lady may be checking out Marys shoes.
 
I gotta give it to Mary with those flag shoes :lol: how genious!

Wonder what designer it's from though... It can't be a coincidence right?
 
Ugh, the DM has no imagination and even less soul. Mary's shoes were a a very Danish nod to her adopted country and those heels are gorgeous. The shape and style is beautiful and that particular red with it's satin-like sheen is to die for. I was already green with envy before I saw the nod to Dannebrog.
 
She looks stunning! and love the shoes! who made them??? They should sell them !
 
And straight from their 3 day official visit to Paris, The Crown Prince couple hosts dinner at the C40 World Mayors Summit.

"On October 10, 2019, the Crown Prince couple will host a dinner in the Knights Hall at Christiansborg Castle. The dinner will be held on the occasion of the international C40 climate summit, where Copenhagen will be visited by mayors, business leaders and climate experts from all over the world.

When the City of Copenhagen on 9-12. October at the C40 World Mayors Summit, the capital is expected to be visited by up to 80 mayors, 1,200 delegates and 21,000 citizens who will engage in debates and discussions on the role of cities in the global green transition over four days.

C40 is a network of 94 cities that all have ambitions to promote the work towards a sustainable future. The network includes major cities such as Paris, Beijing, Washington DC, London and Copenhagen, which together have more than 700 million inhabitants. This year, the Danish capital has been chosen as the host city due to the city's and the Danish players' experience with climate solutions and due to a greater climate commitment from citizens and businesses.

The climate summit opened on Wednesday, October 9 at an opening ceremony on Refshaleøen at Copenhagen Contemporary, Copenhagen's international art center. The following days the program offers various events around the city, while the actual summit takes place at the Tivoli Convention Center.

On the occasion of the visit, around 200 invited guests attend the Crown Prince Couple's dinner event at Christiansborg Castle, where H.K.H. The Crown Prince will give a speech, and Mayor Frank Jensen, who is hosting the C40 Climate Summit, will deliver the welcome speech."

Crown Prince Frederik in his speech tonight
"It is a great honor for my wife, Crown Princess Mary, and myself to welcome you here tonight. Like most other cities, Copenhagen is growing.
- Thinking green has been part of the Danish DNA for decades. Denmark had to think green in the 1970s because of the high oil prices. As a consequence, the foundation was laid for many of our green businesses today. Promoting sustainability has become a Danish trademark . And Danish companies have become world leaders in green technologies."
