    Why the Crown Prince did not attend?

      Was wondering the same thing. Really what does Frederick do? Mary attends more events than he does.

      A) when they get married, they decided, that there will be as often as possible at least 1 parent with the children
      B) Det Danske Kungehuset - there you can find (and count) the activities of CP Frederick

      I'm the anonymous who made the second comment..
      When they got married, they both knew that it was not going to be possible for one parent to be with their children at all times. Understandable when they were babies but their children are all in school now.
      So no reason for Frederick to be sitting at home during daytime engagements.
      I stand by my original comment.
      But I'll leave it at that because some people on this blog like to complain when the topic goes off fashion.

    2. Oh Fred ne rĂ¢lez pas, les pays scandinaves sont bien plus Ă©galitaires que le reste de l'Europe. C'est nous qui avons Ă  apprendre chez eux.

      Fred...the Crownprincess has the proper education and the career and every right to wear the uniform, the rang and the medals as a captain of the Home Guards.

    4. Je crois plutĂ´t que c'est le statut de princesse qui ouvre tous les droits. Le grade de capitaine nĂ©cessite un peu plus que de revĂªtir la tenue de temps Ă  autre. Le fameux adage "selon que vous serez puissants ou misĂ©rables" revĂªt ici tout son sens. Cela Ă©tant, je garderai pour moi Ă  l'avenir mes impressions qui finalement n'Ă©lèvent pas le niveau.

      Ridiculous indeed.

  4. I am sorry. I really don't like the Queen's outfit here at all. It reminds me of outfits worn by my Granny, who died in the 60s. She looks so much better in bright colours and more streamlined shapes.

      I find her outfit well put together - and afterall, she is a Granny. So, be proud of your Granny with such an impeccable taste!

    Brown is the most horrible color on anyone. I shudder when I see anyone wear brown, eve a queen or princess, with their jewels.

      I think the brown colour was quite appropriate here for this military event.
