mls Posted December 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 ⬆️ https://www.kongehuset.dk/julekalender-2021/nissefars-julerejse-gennem-kongeraekken all days with the English translations 22. December English It’s not every day that two small elves made of cardboard, paste and a little finger dexterity stand face to face with an out-and-out legendary prince. But that’s the case at this moment, when Elf Father and Elf Mother have bumped into Holger Danske – also known as Ogier the Dane – who sits enthroned behind Christian X’s desk. The bronze statue from 1896 was a wedding gift to the future king and his wife, Princess Alexandrine, and, at the same time, it’s one of the original statues later made in a larger version for Kronborg Castle’s casemates. “Isn’t it true that he turns into a living human being if Denmark is in danger?” Elf Father whispers to his wife, and he concludes that, now that the Christmas Angel is missing, Christmas itself could also be in danger. So, the white-bearded elf thinks that Holger Danske ought to wake up and come to the aid of everyone. But even though they try to awaken him, he remains sitting there, like he always did throughout Christian X’s reign – and in the time since then, for that matter. So, Christmas must not be completely in danger – yet – the Elves think, and they decide to crawl up in the attic and hunt for clues from the most recent sovereigns in the Royal Lineage, and perhaps they’ll bump into the Christmas Angel again. In a remote corner of the attic, they find a miniature ship, which the elves believe could be a model of Christopher Columbus’ ship, the Santa Maria. “The ship belonged to the Sailor King,” Elf Father can remember, and he immediately takes his place on the three-masted schooner. The king Elf Father has found traces of is namely Christian X’s eldest son, Frederik IX. He became the first Danish king since Christian IV who could command a ship. When Frederik IX was crown prince, he broke a long tradition in the Royal House of Denmark with his career choice to train with the Navy rather than the Army. Crown Prince Frederik’s interest in the sea began when, as a child, he washed the deck of the Royal Yacht Dannebrog. As a naval officer, the future Frederik IX was valued by his colleagues – both as a skilled officer who commanded his ship with self-assurance and led the crew with respect and confidence, but also as a popular person who had a straightforward manner and good humour. “Now we have nearly gotten through the whole Royal Lineage,” exults Elf Father, who confidently hits the sack like a real sailor king.

Izzieq Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Guess they were able to go to Marseliesborg. I'd have liked to see a photo of the CP family like we've gotten with the other CP families. It's been a while since we've gotten one of them all together. Fingers crossed we still do.

Paulamary Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Judging by the white sneakers I think the person on the ladder, in the picture with Josephine, is Frederik. Hope the family enjoys some cozy time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzieq Posted December 24, 2021 Report Share Posted December 24, 2021 Great photos of the CP family! Christian towers over everyone! IMO he's looking even more like Mary in these photos. Isabella is all Frederik. And the twins are precious. So glad Mary was able to come out of isolation in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
