Why do they no longer announce in the calendar who is Regent/Rigsforstander? But only confirm it to the media when asked. I think it's a bad decision because it's intransparent and smells of secrecy.

3 events for Mary added: 3 April Homeguard Event 7 April Event in Jaegersborg Forest 19 April 50th Jubilee of Aalborg University

Another change in the calendar: Princess Benedikte will also attend

DRF News; Forsknings- og videnscentre skifter navn (Name Changes)

There are more pics now in the DRF gallery.

The State Council dinner will now also be hosted in Fredrrik VIII's Palais.

According to BB King Frederik got an enthusiastic reception from the Life Guards. Det vil han aldrig glemme (He will always remember this) And the happy first recipient of "The King's Watch" in Frederik X.'s reign is 20 years old guard Rasmus Boy Bedsted. lykkelig-garder-om-foelelsesladet-moede-med-kong-frederik (Happy guard about emotional meeting with King Frederik)

DRF Instagram The King presents this year's Royal Run T-shirt.

BB: New Ballet in Tivoli And it has also been added to the official calendar

That's interesting because Queen Margrethe is or was the patron of SNU. Perhaps the King will take over this patronage?

I must have miswritten it then.

I am fine with the Regent Couple. I know in Danish they don't use it anymore to differentiate between the old and the new couple. But King Couple sounds odd to me (although I didn't have a problem with Crown Prince Couple) And royal couple could be any couple of the DRF.

"like we always do"? AFAIR there were never many pics in connection with this event. There was more info once because of the new gala uniform for ladies. And I think once we saw F+M arrive when the dinner was held in Fredensborg Palace. But when I searched Kongehuset's website not one gallery came up. I have the feeling this isn't going to change, only the venue is different.

There was a change of venue: The Badge of Honour dinner will now be hosted in F+M's own residence, Frederik VIII's palais. No change for the State Council dinner yet.

According to BB the visit was on Tuesday afternoon, that would be the 5th of March.

DRF Instagram: "A Special Royal Tale" Frederik and Mary visited Roskilde Domkirke in the afternoon of 4th March (or 5th ? The instagram post is dated 5 March but it was posted just a few minutes ago today. So perhaps the given date refers to the day the visit actually happened).
