I don't know about Fred--he still looks like a twit (maybe he's not).
Pavlos is way better looking than him!

Oh my God, I clicked the movie links (although I don't understant ANY Danish!) and I hear the song "Lovers Lullaby" and it was so romantic! If anyone has any information on the singer and/or the song, I'd much appreciate it!
Anyway, Mary looks very comfortable with a tiara on and she does look like a natural. I hope there'll be more tiara appearances soon!
Dear Lord Mayor,
On behalf of my fiancée, Miss Mary Donaldson, I should like to express our sincere gratitude for the City of Copenhagen’s beautiful wedding present, and for this reception at the Copenhagen City Hall.
Today is my fiancée’s first visit to Copenhagen City Hall. I am fairly certain that my own first visit here must have been on the occasion of my Christening in June 1968, when I was driven in an open car through the city of Copenhagen, which was decked out in flags.
It would be wrong of me to say that I remember that day. Judging from press photos from the occasion, I wasn't in a very good mood for part of that journey!
I do, however, remember a number of occasions when I have visited the City Hall in connection with official events, or when we have had an event to celebrate in my family.
From my earliest childhood, I have sat quietly on the golden chairs and observed and absorbed the many details in this beautiful Banqueting Hall, while the grown-ups listened to the numerous speeches that always accompany these events.
The coats of arms below the ceiling, remind one of the banqueting hall of King Arthur’s Court; the red swallow-tailed flags; all the gold, and the huge chandeliers.
And then there were the enormous walrus sculls with their tusks. They were enough to give a little boy much food for thought.
Above them, one could see the Falcon of Iceland, the Polar Bear from Greenland and the Sheep of the Faroe Islands.
I am quite sure that the strong impressions we receive as children remain with us. I have always been happy to come here - and I can say that the Copenhagen City Hall is very much part of my childhood and youth.
In a few days we shall celebrate our wedding, and I suppose I ought to confess already that I have violated Christian III’s regulation not to invite more than 24 couples and 12 good friends to the wedding. Also, both beer and wine will be served. I think the fine for those guilty of breaking the rule then was in the order of 40 marks to the City, and 40 marks to the Monarch. Still, I suppose it is negotiable?
Once again, thank you very much for today’s reception at the City Hall. Thank you for many years of warm and genuine hospitality here in the Home of the City.
And, naturally, my fiancée and I wish to thank you most warmly for this very beautiful gift which we shall use and enjoy.
Thank you.
So what our are choices, Felipe and Prince Charles and Willem-Alexander? WA is much cuter.Originally posted by montecarlo@May 11th, 2004 - 11:41 pm

I was refering to Crown Princes of ruling houses, not Crown Princes of non-ruling houses.

You think Crown Prince Willem-Alexander is cute? You must be joking right? Have you noticed his teeth?

Mary is so classy and beautiful. I love her new hat. It's much better than the one she wore at the military tribute.
I have to second that...Originally posted by Cissan+May 12th, 2004 - 9:33 am--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE (Cissan @ May 12th, 2004 - 9:33 am)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>Originally posted by sarkastik_devil@May 12th, 2004 - 9:19 amOriginally posted by Bubbette@May 12th, 2004 - 3:13 pm<!--QuoteBegin-montecarlo@May 12th, 2004 - 9:04 am

forgive me for asking,
but, from which side does W-A would be appropriately call good looking?
cause. i just don't see the attraction
Overweight? Pardon...Prince Laurent has overweight, but not W-A. Maybe Fred is a little bit more attractive, but W-A is really cute.Originally posted by The Watcher+May 12th, 2004 - 11:20 am--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE (The Watcher @ May 12th, 2004 - 11:20 am)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>Originally posted by Cissan@May 12th, 2004 - 9:33 am

He is WAY too big. It can't be good for his health to carry that overweight. And I don't find it attractive.
TV presenter Lotte Thorsen was one of Mary's few critics. Commenting on the TV documentary, she said: "It was too staged. I noticed that Frederik picked his nose and Mary probably has smelly feet like the rest of us, which is reassuring I suppose but I find it a bit weird that she exposes herself with tears."

We really have the same opinion over that statement.Originally posted by montecarlo@May 12th, 2004 - 11:58 am

So Mary isn't allowed to cry over the death of her mother, because its too weird? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
