Paulamary Posted September 16, 2022 Report Share Posted September 16, 2022 So it was an error on part of the UK embassy, that led to Mary first being invited to the funeral. https://jyllands-posten.dk/indland/ECE14411053/elizabeths-begravelse-bliver-uden-kronprinsesse-mary/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then they just instead of accepting the error and moving on given the invitation had been already accepted as originally sent AND put on the DRF 's official calendar, the UK embassy just simply UNINVITED her. Imagine the uproar and meltdowns if this had happened the other way around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. I find it really "unfortunate" (to put it politely...) to uninvite if the mistake was theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As do I. I have been using other words all morning and have stated so on Twitter and TRF in the 57,000 threads about this funeral. But of course, it is just being swept to the side as nothing, water under the bridge, no biggie....oh and one even blamed the DRF for "misunderstanding" protocol and not understanding why the DRF/Danes may be offended. Maybe they could have just overlooked THEIR own mistake as a sign of gratitude for QMII basically cancelling all the public events for her jubilee (and not giving the Danes a chance to celebrate THEIR Queen's 50 years) and including mentions of QEII in all the other events!!

Paulamary Posted September 16, 2022 Report Share Posted September 16, 2022 I agree with you both. How frustrating, and a bit insulting. Benedikte is still listed as regent on the 18, and I heard Charles is doing a dinner on the 18, so maybe Mary is heading to London after all but not the actual funeral. Or just a mini trip somewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no one will respond to me when I ask if they would have been so non-plussed and non-chalant about it had the situation been reversed. Convenient. I never want to hear any of those stans gripe about how the BRF are not included in events done by the continental royals. They don't deserve to be. At this point, I wish Frederik was still going to NYC for the UNGA as planned and having events on 9/19. Much more important for him and for Denmark.

mls Posted September 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 https://www.bt.dk/underholdning/briter-undskylder-fejlinvitation-til-kronprinsesse-mary "The British Foreign Office has sent a "heartfelt" apology to the Danish royal family via the Danish embassy." "This is stated by a spokesperson for the ministry in an email to Ritzau. By mistake, Crown Princess Mary was invited to Queen Elizabeth's funeral in London on Monday. But on Friday morning, the Danish royal house announced that a protocol error at the British Foreign Office meant that Crown Princess Mary was not going to go anyway. The ministry states that the official invitations are sent to heads of state. They may bring one guest. But a mistake in the invitation to Queen Margrethe made it appear as if the Queen's guest, who is Crown Prince Frederik, also had to bring a guest. But he can not. According to the British Foreign Office, the error occurred because they had to send out many invitations within a short time." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So did the British FO Office make this gaffe ONLY with the the DRF invitation. When did these invitations go out? Do we know? Was it after last weekend? 🤔 Mary could have had time to go to NYC then to cover for Frederik since he has to cancel being at the high level week on the 19th. I wonder if Benedikte will stay as rigferstander then if Mary will now be home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzieq Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 Frederik with Vincent and Josephine at a football game tonight Secret fun trip: Crown Prince Frederik has Vincent and Josephine in Parken | BILLED-BLADET (billedbladet.dk) There are royal spectators at FC Copenhagen's Champions League match against Manchester City tonight. Crown Prince Frederik is in Parken with his and Mary's youngest arrive discreetly at the Park The Crown Prince and the twins arrived a bit differently than usual. Thus, the royals did not use the VIP entrance as so often before, but chose a more discreet entrance to the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
