Maybe it in reality wasn't that dramatic. But, you know, things can grow over a few days:-) The guy in the interview probably also saw a good opportunity for some good PR for the lifeguards. Anyway good that he is alright:-) The Royal House has responded. It seems that story indeed the HAS grown over a few days:-) http://www.bt.dk/danmark/kongehuset-prins-christian-var-paa-intet-tidspunkt-i-fare Royal Family: Prince Christian was never in danger The Lifeguard just checked up if the prince to see if he was ok, says the Royal House on the rescue. Copenhagen: It was a completely undramatic situation when Prince Christian last week, according to Australian media were rescued by a lifeguard during the royal Christmas holiday in Tasmania. It tells of Communications at the Royal Family, Lene Balleby, Sunday. - Prince Christian was never in danger. Lifeguards must always pay attention, and in this case they knew who was in the water and was perhaps particularly attentive. They took therefore an additional check on whether Prince Christian was ok, which he was. - The situation was in other words, quite undramatic, says communications director Ritzau. Australian media reported Sunday about how the 10-year-old prince had come out of a dangerous power when he was out to bathe Thursday. An Australian lifeguard named Nick Malcolm came therefore the young prince to the rescue. It was, according to media 7 News not certain that Prince Christian had been alive today if not the lifeguard had been smart in and had come prince to the rescue of paddling up to him on his surfboard. - We managed to catch him before it was too serious, but he could not even get back, Stuart Keary that Nick Malcolm's boss, told the media 7 News. But it is exaggeration, according to the Royal House. 7 News also provides that the lifeguards did not know that it was a Danish prince who was out swimming. But it is not true according to the Royal House. Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary are on Christmas holidays in Tasmania. The incident happened when the couple along with their four children were out swimming at the beach Mermaid Beach near the town of Gold Coast, located on the east coast of Australia. The family in years, has decided to celebrate Christmas in Tasmania. The couple and their four children tend usually to spend Christmas Eve with the children's grandparents, Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik. / Ritzau / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

commoner Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Thanks commoner. I thought the court might respond to this. Maybe that is why the lifeguard, that was supposed to have rescued Christian has kept a low profile and hasn't been interviewed and "He’s kept it pretty quiet" to his fellow life guards. There probably really wasn't much out of the ordinary to go around bragging about:-) The life guard chef also, to me, has a little bit the attitude of the hobby angler retelling the story how big a Cod he once caught when out fishing:-) Anyway, even though the story probably was exaggerated and not entirely true, I'm not sure how good an idea it was to respond. The lifeguards are probably an institution, where you will be many many points behind already from the start, if you go into a discussion on, what and what not happened. Maybe they should just have let this one go and let them keep this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoulM Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 "Mary hasn't even been able to learn the Danish language after her years in Denmark. They call her brood Mary in Denmark" Stupid comments. CPM has learned to speak Danish, definitely. She can do the Danish r and soft d, she can do the extended characters, she knows when a g is soft or silent and she knows how to pronounce juletid (as in yuletide). The only two issues that I've noticed is still ongoing is how she emphasizes syllables, for example in the word international. She still pronounces it the English way. The other issue is how she ends certain words. But then again, who cares? She's doing brilliantly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gudinde Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 This article has a quote from the chief lifegurad: http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2015/dec/21/son-princess-mary-crown-prince-frederik-rescued-surf-gold-coast "[Chief lifeguard Warren Young] downplayed reports that Christian had been in dire straights, saying "the lifeguard was watching, his father was watching ... he was a good swimmer and he was relaxed in the water." "[The family] were doing the right thing and that's why they are fine today." The Danish royals were reportedly swimming between the flags. (That is, complying with parameters set for the day) Crown Prince Frederik personally thanked the lifeguard for his alertness. So as you say, there was no drama. The lifeguards would intervene well before there is a problem just to be on the safe side. It's just the press reaching for juicy headlines.

It was without bigger drama and danger, when Crown Prince Frederik's 10-year-old son, Prince Christian, Thursday was rescued by an Australian lifeguard. That tells the head of the lifeguard who picked Prince Christian from the waves, to the Australian media 7 News. The Australian media has been described as that Prince Christian was in mortal danger, but according to the Royal Family, and now the lifeguard, who was responsible for the action, not the case. - It was a very simple, short trip for him. He felt fine and his parents thanked the lifeguard when they left the beach. It was very undramatic, said the head of the Gold Coasts lifeguards, Warren Young, and continues: - It is something we do all the time. That's our job. But this time it was foreigners and of course quite famous foreigners. According to Warren Young was the lifeguard Nick Malcolm unaware that it was a Danish prince, he had saved until after the action. Nick Malcolm has not yet spoken, but lets Warren Young do it. - His phone has not stopped ringing. He is a lifeguard, and he is good at saving people. He is not accustomed to that kind of attention, because he just does his job every day, says Warren Young. Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary are on Christmas holidays in Tasmania. The incident happened when the couple along with their four children were out at the beach Mermaid Beach near the town of Gold Coast, located on the east coast of Australia. Here was Prince Christian caught by a stream, and was retrieved by a lifeguard on a surfboard. Prince Christian is second in line of succession to the Danish throne after her father Crown Prince Frederik. The 10-year-old prince is beyond future king of Denmark, according to Warren Young "a good little swimmer", that not panicked. / Ritzau / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
