That is a very good portrait!!!
 
 
The portrait have received varied comments, not least because it is so open to interpretation.
Why is he sitting alone in the couch?
Is the dry martini a reference to Frederik, the action man?
Is the way he sits a description of his laid back personality?
Is it a portrait of a man, who is at ease and ready to take over?
And so on.
 
Yes, it is a strange portrait where the sofa is central.

It's empty with Frederick squeezed up one end with his arm open to someone joining him.
It looks like someone waiting in the wings.
It looks set in a lobby, a restaurant or a public space.
Fred, himslf, is illustrated with not much liveliness or personality. He could almost be having a quiet smoke - though he is not.
Who is he hoping to meet?

Summary of article in Billed Bladet #47, 2018.
Written by our art critic, Ulrik Ulriksen.

As you a new portrait of Frederik was unveiled recently. The painting commissioned by the National Historic Museum at Frederiksborg, has already been dubbed The Bond Painting here in DK.
The dry Martini, the dapper dress and cool attitude is no coincidence according to the artist, Kasper Eistrup.
Officially the painting is named Lancier.

Kasper Eistrup is also a member of the band Kashmir, which Frederik is very fond of! As such the two of them have gotten to know each other fairly loosely that way.

Kasper Eistrup who only fairly recently has taken up painting in earnest was pretty surprised that that he had been selected to paint a new portrait of Frederik.
Kasper Eistrup wanted to paint a portrait that was more than just a future king. The painting is as such also about a person in balance and a man who is perhaps peaking as an individual, husband, father and leading member of the DRF.
The similarity with James Bond is no accident. Kasper Eistrup believe Frederik has the same charm and extroversion (is that correct? Extroversion for someone who is extrovert.) as the secret agent.

In his speech at the unveiling Frederik emphasized that he had been very comfortable with both the artist and with being painted.
At the same time he was perfectly well aware that the interaction and conversation he had with artist during the process would be a part of what the artist depicted in the painting. I.e. capturing the impression on the personality of the subject.
He also told how he as a boy wasn't that keen about being portrayed, that was tedious and boring! But today he likes it and find it's fun.

You can study the painting better in the article here:

I feel, the Prince looks rather sad: watery eyes, deep wrinkles and all...


Hopefully, it is just the weather!

A great balance I think. A different kind of painting but it captured, i think, a man at ease and comfort.
 
Ah, so it's a kind of ice-pick.
I thought he was spear-fishing for goldfish.

It was marked by the fact that a permafrost from #Ilulissat (in the red holder on the stage) was chopped over with the ice-jacket held by the crown prince.

hopefully we get pictures from the first event, Danish Export Association networking event.

"Since 1982, Danish Export Association's diploma & H.R.H. Prince Henrik's Honorary Medal has been awarded to persons or companies worldwide who have made a special effort to promote Danish products and services abroad. Every second year, Danish companies, who are behind the foreign prize recipients, are invited to a networking event together with among others the sponsors of the honorary award and the evaluation committee."

"The Crown Prince himself has good memories of this particular sports and music scene. In the early 80's he saw tennis player Bjørn Borg playing here.
- I got a racket from the man myself - by Borg. With double hand grip, said the Crown Prince.
"It was fun at the time, and so I have also stood here - as close to the stage as possible - for various distinguished rock concerts, it sounded from Crown Prince Frederik."
 
It looks like yesterday Frederik visited a Danish Technology company

Yesterday, His Royal Highness crown prince Frederik came by Futurebox for a tour and to meet the deep tech startups of the house - including this year's DTC participants.
His Royal Highness was very interested and got to learn more about technologies, business models and teams. A great experience for everyone.

He will be handing the award in 2019, so these meetings were probably to get to know the companies

"His Royal Highness Crown Prince Frederik hand's over the Industrial Fund's Entrepreneurship Prize to the winner of Danish Tech Challenge 2018. The award will take place at a festive award show in January 2019."
 
Upon arriving in Herning today, Frederik hinted that a Royal Run #2 may be arranged this year as well, write Billed Bladet.

https://www.billedbladet.dk/kongeli...rederik-antyder-royal-run-2-kan-vaere-paa-vej

He said:
"I took part in Royal Run last year, but had problems with the back. Now the back is better, so perhaps I can improve the next year."
Jeg deltog i Royal Run sidste år, men havde problemer med ryggen. Nu går det bedre med ryggen, så måske kan jeg forbedre det næste år

As you know Frederik isn't exactly known for expressing himself precisely. So IMO the quote suggests to me that a royal run might be arranged this year or next year.
Personally I think it's a great idea to turn Royal Run into an annual event. Not least because a lot of people who had otherwise never taken up jogging, running or walking before did so, in order to take part.
The health authorities haven't taken their arms down yet!

"- Slightly anecdotal and sentimental to me, it is also that at the final round in 1978 was a then nine-year-old crown prince who was responsible for the draw for the pools." -Morten Stig Christensen
