Crown Prince Frederik, Current Events 1: November 2002 - October 2007

[grim_lady]

They are really close! In fact Haakon even had Fred be his best man at his wedding!

 

[soCal girl]

What language do they converse in? Danish, Norwegian, or English? Thanks. BTW, it's so cute how Frederick and Haakon are laughing. I love it when we see royals from different countries interacting with each other!

Nevermind...I saw a post in the Olympic Thread that they speak in Danish/Norwegian since they're pretty similar. I thought Danish was a lot more complicated?

It's easy enough to understand. I live in Denmark, but speak Norwegian to people and am understood by the majority of Danes. Similarly, unless the Dane in question mumbles or something equal to that, Danish isn't all that hard to understand.

Is Mary at the Games as well? The Olympic Games must be a nice reminder to both of them of when they first met!

no, she is not.
however, she'll be travelling with Frederik & Christian to Germany next February 17th.

I think Frederik looks gorgeous in these new pics. They really show off his good looks and he seems to be enjoying himself.

Question About Frederik's Name

Hi!!

Now, I know that Denmark has a tradition for kings' names, alternating Frederik, Christian, Frederik, Christian, etc., but what I don't get is why Frederik is actually called Frederik.
This generation (being Fred, Mary, etc.), and the past two generations of Danish rulers:

Frederik IX (father of current Queen Margrethe II)
Queen Margrethe II
Crown Prince Frederik (to be Frederik X)

This brings me to my question: Following tradition, shouldn't Crown Prince Frederik (or at birth, Prince Frederik), actually have been named Crown Prince Christian?

Anyone who knows anything about this, please post!

 

[Sira]

When Frederik was born, the Queen margrethe II asked permission to her father Frederik IX to call her son Frederik so that there is a balance between Christian (X) and Frederik ( X).

 

[JessRulz]

Oh, okay! Thanks Sira! It makes sense to me now

 

[crisiñaki]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH my poor eyes!!!
Bad bad bad bad choice of outfits, it's something not even Carson Kressly (from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy) would wear being high!!!!
How did Mary let him out of the house with that "thing"???
I guess as soon as Christian saw his father he started crying

 

[Maxie]

Well, let's say it's an interesting choice. A purple suit. Where oh where did I see that one before?

Oh yes, now I remember. On Willy Wonka in Charlie and the chocolate factory!

 

[sesam]

Perhaps he wants to get out of Mary's shadow and tries to improve his sense of fashion...

Oh!! Did he ever get out of Mary's shadow and bring attention to himself! Hee! Hee! And to think that he actually walked out of the palace this morning thinking "man, I look good"!!!!
I now must go and poke out my eyes so as not to have nightmares tonight!

 

[sesa]

hmmm...I wonder if he had to consult Michael Jackson or Prince on what color socks to wear with his wonderful Purple suit!!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! ha! Ha! Ha!!!!!!!

 

[lise]

The Purple outfit needs to be destroyed.

 

[crisiñaki]

Frederik is gonna be a runner-up in the worst-dressed-royal-man of the year, Jaime de Marichalar has a tough competition now (he's the husband of Infanta Elena, the eldest child of the Kings of Spain and he's known for the elf-colored velvet pants and the capes )

 

[grevinnan]

Wishful thinking - perhaps something went wrong with the camera and the color is not what it appears to be!

 

[soCal girl]

The problem with Frederick's outfit choices is that it takes attention away from what he is doing. I read the caption then saw the pants and forgot about where he was and had to look back. Just a reminder, he was at the 150th Sailor's Association with an awful PLUM colored suit! Oh Mary, have some sympathy on us and check you husband BEFORE he leaves the house!

 

[Princess BellyFlop]

Somebody please confirm that it was not made of velvet or corduroy, please...

 

[stellam]

Sorry everyone, I like this suit and he is one brave man to wear that colour....you go Fred!

Last night prince Frederik was in Stockholm and attended a bacholors party for one of his friends. They went to the hot club Plaza in central Stockholm.
Price Frederik wont be in Stockholm next weekend when the swedish king celebrates his 60th birthday
- Im sorry I cant be there, says Frederik.
Does the prince enjoy Stockholm?
- I´m always having a good time here and I have some very good friends here
Why is the prince in Stockholm this weekend and not the next one when the King celebrates his birthday?
- I dont want to talk about it just like that... I´m sorry I cant be here next weekend, but I dont want to talk about why. Thats...
Private?
- Exactly
The prince and his friend ate chicken, steak and french fries and drank red wine and a bottle of champagne.
At 11 the prince and his friends left the restaurant and went to the Plaza club. There the party went on until early morning.
