mls Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Crown Prince Frederik and Princess Mary to sail on Sydney to Hobart racer Wild Oats "The couple, parents to four children, reportedly fly into Sydney on Tuesday at the start of a family holiday which will see them spend Christmas in Tasmania. But before flying across Bass Strait, they will enjoy a sail on the champion 100-foot Sydney to Hobart super maxi Wild Oats, owned by Sydney businessman Sandy Oatley."

commoner Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 I think it would be a good idea if they arranged a photo opportunity at some point during the trip. It wont prevent the family from being papped, but I think set of good quality pictures, in between the sporadic out of context snaps that probably will appear throughout the trip, will give a kind of counterballance to it.

"Not this year". And, The Mercury thinks the family "are expected in Hobart soon, to celebrate Christmas with Princess Mary’s family." Well, that was also expected in 2015...
