Denmarks Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary at the roof of Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen Friday November 2. 2007. The Royal couple were opening the hospitals new built helicopter platform. PHOTO: Keld Navntoft/Scanpix Denmark

Pic 1 -- Pic 2 -- Pic 3 -- Pic 4 -- Pic 5 -- Pic 6 -- pic 7
 
According to TV2 News - TV 2 Kongelig - Frederik og Mary højt oppe - the new helipad on the Rigshospitalet means that they save about 45 minutes when transporting patients. Before the helicopters had to land in a nearby park.

The platform was donated by Mærsk McKinney Møller - the elderly gentleman in Dazzling's pic 7.

thanks for that piece of info. Why were the Cp's whom opened it?
 
Will Frederik and Mary be doing any tours around Denmark like they did when they were first married?

It would be really nice to see them out and about with the Danish people again visiting different cities and towns.
 
It's so cold in denmark right now!! She must be freezing at that high without a warm jacket!! The snow will come soon!

You mean instead of the queen?
Don't know - perhaps it was thought fitting since F&M twice within two years have used the facilities at this particular hospital ;)

I hope they will - probably during the summer and using the royal yacht - just as queen Margrethe has for many years :)

I didnt know the queen was suppose to be opening it. Well, yes does make sense if the cp couple opened it. Mærsk McKinney Møller did good by donating for the helipad, that was nice:)

I don't know if the queen was supposed to do it - probably not. Perhaps Mærsk McKinney really wanted the CP couple to do it? Judging from pictures (also from the new opera) he seems to have a good rapport with them :)

If it was in order to get a career there, I can warmly recomend the company. Not only does Mærsk Mckinny Møller have this habit of giving the inhabitants of Copenhagen - including the Royal Famely - monumental gifts. The company has an excelent personnel policy and offers great career opportunities in an international setting.

Whatever issues Frederik 'may' have with public speaking is not something I would classify as a problem. It is but a hindrance of sorts and one that could be overcome. We all face challenges in life, why should Frederik be any different and why should the man be made subject to ill intended criticisms because of it?

Needles to say, it says absolutely nothing about him but quite a bit about those who find it necessary to negtaively exhume anothers impediment, no matter how minor or severe.

Again, I don't see how it can be noted as a "problem" when the man still delivers his speeches and socially converses.

I would definitely classify his inabilty to express himself clearly in public as a problem, a big problem. He is a public person representative of his country. One of the few basic requirements for this job is to speak properly and clearly, what kind of image does It give when people don't understand what he is trying to say or that the crown prince looks nervous, insecure and can't stop moving while answering questions?

I also think this problem could be over come so why It didn't still? he is not a young boy he is a 40 years old man that known all his life that he is going to be king (and It's getting closer and closer) so what does he waits for?

Thanks for the pictures. I also like Marys outfit.
 
Thanks for the pictures! Mary's outfit is pretty, although Mary herself looked bored, and Frederik looks as if he's ill.
 
I also like mary's outfit. She did look a little bored, maybe she is just tired. A baby can do that to you!!!
 
I liked Mary's outfit too. They looked happy to me and not tired at all!
 
Gohs I love to see her in a more casuall way, very fashionable! Love the boots!! lovely indeed!

The whole audience (not too many people around, heh?) looks bored and I can understand. Borg against McEnroe might have been exciting 20 years ago but not these days since age has been catching up with both of them :ohmy: Not even if I was paid to go I wouldn't want to see a senior guys tour match. It's rather sad than funny.
