Nice photos. Glad to see Daniel on the mix.
Love your humor--made me giggle for 5 minutes over this remark--I quite agree and what a mental picture it gave!Oh I know,she's a mix between Betty Boop and an inflatable item...![]()
You are correct that Daniel was a main attraction--and I doubt that CPF or Mary cared. They don't look the type to be upset by that sort of thing -- after all they knew he was coming! Victoria and Daniel knew before hand what a statement this "date" would make.Daniel WAS the man of the hour - a soft introduction into the royal mainstream -
Camilla of Calabria is not seen often, but when she is phtographed she always looks the same ---- very Hollywood. She may have a very sweet personality and be a lovely person, but ....
And Mary --- she has looked flawless lately - does she have a personal stylist? She looks amazing --- even in the rain on the balcony - a simple daytime outfit and she was impeccable.
Although, Swedish Crown Princess Victoria has not yet officially engaged with Daniel Westling, they are beginning to show themselves publicly more and more. The couple were also among many guests where Crown Prince Frederik, on Saturday evening, held his 40th birthday with a big celebration on Orangeriet at Fredensborg Palace. It was a private party, and therefore Victoria was able to take Daniel (Mr. Man of the Hour.)
Also in the company of guests were the Norwegian crown prince couple, Mette-Marit and Haakon; along with them came Victoria and Daniel from the palace to the restaurant in the park.
Crown Prince Frederik had invited 165 guests to his birthday, but even he knew little about what should happen.
-- It has been my sweet wife stood for, he said. And Crown Princess Mary promised that she had some surprises in the sleeve during evening.
Forty and Sensible
Frederik did not not hide the fact that he welcomed his party/40th age, and on the question it feels to be middle aged and 40, he replied:
-- It is actually very sensible.
Most of the guests were Frederik and Mary's friends, including actor Preben Kristensen and his man, Crown Princess Mary's hairdresser Soren Hedegaard and Ellen Hillingsøe and Hella Joof.
In addition to the Norwegian couple and Swedish Crown Princess with Daniel, also attendence was the Belgian Crown Prince Philippe and several of Frederik's cousins. Not there for obvious reasons: Prince Joachim and Princess Marie. They are on honeymoon.
I am pretty sure it wasn't a mistake and he was invitedDo you think that the attendance of Daniel Westling was a mistake? If Daniel was invited to come?
I think it was rather nice of the Birthday Boy to share the spotlight with Daniel. Frederik had to know that speculation regarding Victoria and Daniel would overshadow the fact that it was a celebration of his 40th birthday, as well it did. It was nice to see the young royals get together in honor of the milestone birthday, though I have to agree with Fred, turning 40 is really no big deal!

Mary's dress is Matthew Williamson .
Daniel is only appearing as the man of the hour in this thread because it is wonderful to see him at a royal party. However I sincerely doubt that Crown Prince Frederik was sitting at his party annoyed that Daniel was stealing the limelight.
To the people at the party they were there for Frederik and don't see Daniel's presence as interesting as we here do
Why are Willem Alexander & Maxima and Felipe & Letizia not invited?
Shouldn't they be invited as every CP couples were invited to Willem Alexander's 40's Bday?
The man of the hour: Daniel Westling
