This morning, February 25, King Frederik received newly appointed first lieutenants from the Army in preparation:

In case you are wondering the badges on the left pockets are skill badges. Making the first lieutenant a qualified machine gunner, medic or signals-operator, or marksman with a pistol etc.
And practically all of them wear the blue static line jump wings. You are hard pressed to find an army officer today who hasn't got at least the blue wings.
Red jump wings mean free-fall qualified. I.e. they jumpers themselves pull the ripcord and deploy the parachute. - Those who fail to do that, only do it once...

They all wear sabers as you can tell. I understand that most sabers are in fact borrowed. There is after all little need for a young and poor lieutenant to invest in an expensive personal saber they are unlikely to use much in the coming years.
It's only when they reach the semi-godly heights of colonel and such they really need to wear a saber fairly regularly.
Of course some families present their new prodigy with saber as a graduation present and in some families sabers are inherited and they can often have an old and quite interesting history. King Frederik's sword was inherited from his farfar, Frederik IX and presented to him by his mormor, Queen Ingrid.
 
He must feel quite attached to it given it origins, it seems there is another sword considered part of the Danish Royal Regalia that is kept in Rosenborg Castle amongst the oldest of these artifacts is Christian's III sword of state from 1551.

Frederik has the red jump wings, thanks Muhler for the extra knowledge

My pleasure.
Not only that. As former Frogman he will also be qualified for HALO jumps. High Altitude Low Opening.
That means he could jump from perhaps 8 km up, at night, say 30 km off an enemy coast. He would then glide, while he is falling across the border and over the coast and with the help of a compass (back then, now GPS) he and his team mates would near their landing zone, say a field, where there may be someone to meet them. And at as low altitude as possible they would open their parachute and come in on a controlled landing.
They would then strip off of their jump suits and breathing gear. Meet their contacts and team up and get away as fast as possible, before conducting whatever mission they are assigned.
In that way they would be inserted by a plane that could resemble an ordinary passenger plane on a radar or freight plane, even emitting a false code in order not to arouse suspicion. And without any risk for the plane and it's crew.

That is admittedly something the army special forces (jaegerkorpset) are more specialized in, but the Frogmen could and should be able to do it as well, if need be.
 
Today, March 12, King Frederik received the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan at Frederik VIII's Palace, Amalienborg:


Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan is on a tour where, in addition to Denmark, the Minister will also visit France, Sweden and Finland. The program in Denmark includes meetings with the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Speaker of the Danish Parliament, as well as a visit to DTU.

King Frederik had public audiences today and met with 79 people!!
 
Isn't it annoying when the mags only focus on what royal men wear rather than what they are doing?
It's quite demeaning that royal men are reduced to clothes horses...

That's what happens to royal women all the time - compensatory justice ;)

No, seriously, it is indeed inappropriate for all sexes and does not do justice to the important occasions/causes in any way..

He looks great! Looks like a great event today. I like the no tie look. I think it was fine for the event he was attending. No need to look stuffy all the time (not that he ever really conveys that)...I always enjoy that he is so engaged in whatever the engagement is about. Not just listening/learning - he always comes across as knowledgeable and interested, which makes him that much more relatable.
 
I noticed a new adjutant. A female one this time.
There are quite a lot of interesting things going on at the bioinstitute!
One of them, where I think there really is potential, is making the skin more elastic for pregnant women. It should reduce stretch marks and if I got it right, also reduce the tear of the skin while giving birth. That is something, if it turns out to be useful, many women would be most interested in!
A lot of the research that is going on there, is linked to the super computer the King also inaugurated some time back and which has turned out to be probably one of the best investments DK has made for many years. I hope we will invest in one more, because in Danish context we are talking quantum leaps within research and development just within the first year.

I suppose we men being judged on our (usually good) looks rather than what we accomplish is a yet another cross we will have to bear. But FX, a velvet jacket, combined with a knitted vest? In earth colors?!? Watching the King I really felt an urge to go buy a rocking chair. I suspect his valet is down with flu.
In Italy, where all men are always immaculately dressed, such an attire would land you in prison.
