Izzieq Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 Article about a section re PH's death appearing in another biography of the QMII to be published shortly. This seems to be a different book than the one coming out I believe tomorrow. https://www.bt.dk/royale/dronning-margrethes-naere-veninde-prins-henrik-var-syg-i-meget-laengere-tid-end-man Prince Henrik became ill long before the public was informed. And it was hard for the Queen, reveals her close friend in a new book. ‘It was some really hard years for her and I think it was lonely for her in the end. People who have had a demented spouse know that it is deadly and debilitating. But she never complained. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzieq Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Putting this here as it seems to be related to another book coming out for her 50th jubilee. I have to say that the second photo (with that old technique) is a little strange. In my opinion it makes her look frail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzieq Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Posting this here too about I think the one based on 14 interviews she gave. https://www.saxo.com/dk/undervejs-dronning-margrethe-fortaeller-til-tom-buk-swienty_tom-buk-swienty_indbundet_9788740061505?gclid=CjwKCAjwq9mLBhB2EiwAuYdMtZp-Je4je1WJoT-S9w7PfJKrw1Ff2vVZk_DR6gEahmJuODZV3cXVfxoCa_YQAvD_BwE So far I believe there are 2 or 3 books out in anticipation of the 50th jubilee.

mls Posted November 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 https://gardernetvaerk.dk/gardergaven-til-dronningens-50-aars-regeringsjubilaeum/ "Her Majesty the Queen marks her 50th golden jubilee in January 2022. We at Gardernetværk have been thinking about what we could come up with to give the Queen as a suitable gift. During this process, we became aware that there was a great desire to establish a new guard building at Marselisborg Palace. When we heard from several of our younger members that it was a worn out (and ugly) building, it was right for Gardernetværk to be in charge of raising money so that the old building could be replaced with a new one." The current (pretty ugly) building The new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mls Posted November 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 https://herognu.dk/margrethe-om-frederik-og-joachims-reservemor-hun-var-vidunderlig/ From one of the books - About Else Petersen, Frederik and Joachim's nanny. "In ‘Undervejs - erindringer 1940 - 1972’, Her Majesty gratefully tells about Else, who lived on the top floor of Christian IX's Palace for almost 25 years. - The boys lived up on the mezzanine floor with their wonderful nanny, Miss Petersen, or just Else, as we called her. She took care of the boys until they moved away from home. Crown Prince Frederik and Prince Joachim were almost completely left to Else Petersen. - She made sure they got up in the morning, got them in their clothes and gave them breakfast. It happened that the boys in the morning came down to us, and that I - as my father in his time - gave them a coffee fish (a sugar lump dipped in coffee, ed.) Usually, however, I saw them mostly in the evening, before my husband and I had dinner, which we did quite late - always at 8 pm. I still do. The boys, on the other hand, had dinner by themselves 6 p.m. Afterwards, they typically came down when I was resting before dinner, and crawled up to me in bed. - It was a great joy to have the two little boys, but I must also admit that I was not an effective mother of small children. I was - and am - not particularly good with young children and maybe children at all. I do not quite know why. Some are, others less, she says honestly in the memoir."

Izzieq Posted November 27, 2021 Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 Wow...that just sounds incredibly sad for Fredrik and Joachim as young children tbh. No wonder Frederik had been adamant that he be an active and present father...and a demonstrative one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzieq Posted November 27, 2021 Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 Just read that it appears the new Covid strain has hit Denmark as cases continue to pop out throughout Europe. At this point it will be somewhat of a waiting game too see if the events for the jubilee are modified in some way or cancelled depending on the status of things as the date gets closer and what the health experts say.
