There have been suggestions that the Crown Princely Family will spend time at Gråsten Palace again this year, as will Queen Margrethe, later in July.

Yes, BB had the news on facebook, and also a local newspaper:

http://graastenavis.dk/portfolio-items/graasten-skal-vaere-danmarks-midtpunkt/

"The royal family's summer residence gets Gråsten buzzing with life. Many day visitors attend the

Royal Life Guards march through the castle town and the changing of the guard on Fridays draws

thousands of people to Gråsten, where they shop, eat in our restaurants and walk in our beautiful nature ",

said the President of Gråsten Chamber of Commerce, who predicted a good summer, because the

Crown Prince Couple will again spend three weeks at Gråsten Palace.

In addition, Queen Margrethe as usual again spends a few weeks in Gråsten."

I just saw her photograph in facebook and I thought that there was something different around her eyes.

I can't say I've noticed any difference. There are so many sorts of photos: The Vogue (and similar) ones with some photoshop, the newspaper ones when on the job, with (I assume) more makeup than the private outings,

like the snap taken with a mobile phone at Legoland, in rainy weather.

From Gråsten local newspaper:

Queen Margrethe "and members of the royal family" will receive this years ring riders parade on Sunday the 17th.

That's the one F&M and kids received last year. The article doesn't say which members.

The local does no have photos but they have the usual tidbits:

On Monday evening last week the Crown Prince couple "hyggede" (had a nice/fun/cozy time) with friends
on the terrace, the conversation was lively and they listened to music"

The kids have been amusing themselves in a "hoppeborg" (bouncy castle) in the garden.
