yes both of them!!!

He looked tired but they were both beautiful. My video is from my cell phone and the press hogged the front, so it looks like I was ten miles away from them, but I was about 4 feet away!!!!!

But you got to see them! That's great.

I remember BB mentioning that Frederik suffers badly from jet lag. As we could see during the wedding in Northern Ireland ;)
