Thanks for trying. Regardless the kids looked pretty self-assured in responding to what they were asked. They are good in front of the cameras and press.
Video in BT article where you can hear part of their answers and Vincent talking. https://www.bt.dk/royale/kronprinsesse-mary-blev-roert-under-aabning-i-zoo
TV2 on Facebook posted an even better video of the twins answering questions. They are beyond precious.
Presumably. Or rather because she looks old enough to be addressed with formal You. But there is no rule as such. I'd say around eighteen or so it will be considered appropriate to start addressing young people with formal You.
Another journalist present might just as well have used the informal you.
Anyway, the painter has been inspired by the Danish gold-age painter (or Skagen-painter) Anna Ancher in regards to how the soft light falls on Mary.
The painter especially likes the soft spring-light we have in DK.
Mary was pleased saying that the artist had caught her on a very good day.
While Frederik pointed out that the painter had a good model.
And here are a few Anna Ancher paintings for comparison and to see where the Spanish painter found his inspiration.

I loved Prince Frederik's response! Classic!
I love the painting - but I cannot make out the detail in that mirror. The tree in the shadows reminds me of the shadows of the Eucalyptus trees that we see in the late afternoons here in Oz - especially in autumn. It like I can see the gentle sway of trees and feel the gulley breezes the trees give - and after a good pouring of rain, the Eucalyptus scent the trees permeate throughout. It is truly one of the best things about being in Australia - amongst others.
It isn't a mirror. It is the modern art painting in Mary's office/study at home. I agree the portrait is beautiful.
Frederiksborg Castle is on my list of must see places along with Rosenborg castle. The artist has captured the essence of the Crown Princess. 18 years in Denmark has flown by.
Question: Did anyone watch the TV2 program/documentary that aired on 1/31 that would be so kind as to provide a summary?
thank you in advance!

Lovely to see the kids join her, only missing Christian.
Love the potrait, overall very calming effect.
Great details too, the shadow of the eucalyptus tree, a touch od Australia

Is Frederiksborg far from Copenhagen? It looks stunning from pictures. Never been to Denmark, but maybe one day I will.I cannot recommend a visit to Frederiksborg enough. It's marvellous and in addition to the castle being very impressive in and of itself, they always come up with really well-curated exhibitions. I usually go several times a year and it's always worth the ticket ?
Usually, portraits are horrendous and don't do justice to the person. But this portrait is so well done, beautiful yet simple. I love the light tones and the calm vibe

Yes, it's a song comparing the recipient, in this case Mary to a rose.
And a Danish lesson for those who glanced at the subtitles.
In English there is you, your, yours.
In Danish the informal versions are: du, dig, din.
The formal versions are: De, Dem, Deres. - Always with a capital D, which is why I usually write You with a capital Y, when the version is formal.
Mary was addressed with the formal versions.
