mls Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 https://nyheder.tv2.dk/samfund/2024-01-05-slottes-fremtid-er-uvis-siger-eksperter  Sønderborg/Gråsten is already worrying about what will happen to the use of Gråsten Palace. (And Marselisborg)  "It's one thing if the royals don't come here any more, but there's also a big palace, and what happens to it then? We are very worried, I will say that, mayor of Sønderborg Erik Lauritzen says, who is working on a letter in which the municipality will congratulate the new royal couple."  "The Border Association hopes and believes that the close ties to the royal house will continue despite the change of throne."

Izzieq Posted January 7 Author Report Share Posted January 7 One thing I hope for after the succession is a revamping of how the DRF calendar is kept and what makes it into the calendar. So, at year's end when some blog does these year end counts the numbers for the DRF are not undercounted given how other royals pad their calendars to inflate their numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mls Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Yes, the coverage of the CPC's activities has never really been good but since the end of 2021, it's been even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Before 2021 their calendar entries were abysmal including the coverage of their events. Plus, some of Mary's Foundation events were never included in the calendar. And for some reason the numbers that came out today has given rise to certain faction using them to let's say drag Mary and Frederik and prop their faves. And anyone that actually follows the DRF knows their numbers are not accurate. Plus, given the context we now have it is quite possible that 2023 was a year of alot of intense preparation bts for what no one knew was coming. So imo that should be taken into consideration.   Maybe the DRF should have counted a phone call as an entire day of work like others do.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mls Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 https://www.billedbladet.dk/kongelige/danmark/nu-bliver-kronprins-frederik-snart-konge-det-her-skal-prins-joachim-og-prinsesse  Not sure about Benedikte, Joachim and Marie. I don't think I've ever seen Benedikte curtsy to her sister. ?  When Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary become the royal couple, it will be the case that, among others, Princess Benedikte, Prince Joachim and Princess Marie as well as Frederik and Mary's good Nordic friends, Norwegian Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit and Swedish Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel, will have curtsy and bow to the new royal couple.  https://www.billedbladet.dk/kongelige/danmark/loefter-sloeret-historisk-plan-vores-kommende-kongepar-og-dronning-margrethe-kan  Now it is revealed that Tivoli on January 14 at 18.00 will set off the biggest fireworks in the history of the old amusement park.  Both to celebrate Denmark's new King Frederik and Queen Mary and to thank Her Majesty Queen Margrethe.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't change peoples lives just like that, including making Prince Christian into the Crown Prince....This has taken some planning.

Plus the fact that right after the NYE speech press releases were already coming out re restructuring of courts which would needed to have involved the CPC. Titles had already been decided. Way too much seemed to have already been discussed and decided. Plus I think Mary took the extended trip to Australia to both inform her family in person and spend time with them not knowing when she will be able to go back. And yeah, you don't cause such an upheaval to 18 year old Christian with little notice. Also, I would think that the CP family had time to discuss all this as a family.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mls Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Mary's father, John Donaldson, will not be able to travel to Denmark to witness his daughter become Queen Mary of Denmark.

Paulamary Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 a good article "- We are so used to seeing him associate with us ordinary citizens, so he will definitely be a good king.

Izzieq Posted January 12 Author Report Share Posted January 12 Another nice report from Australian media. Danish colors to light up a bridge, Slip Inn decked out in Danish flags and thrones. A gift being sent from Tasmania. the Australian Embassy in Denmark hosting an event for Australians there. And to think that there are some saying there is no interest or enthusiasm for this event in Australia.    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzieq Posted January 12 Author Report Share Posted January 12 11 minutes ago, mls said: DR.dk will broadcast from early morning https://www.dr.dk/drtv/tv-guide Tv2.dk https://tvtid.tv2.dk/  Not sure if we/those outside Denmark will be able to watch.  Billed Bladet will, I'm sure, also be live or partly live.  Theme page https://www.billedbladet.dk/tags/tronskifte  I have been able to watch the DR coverage on their website. I already see they have the upcoming listings for extensive coverage. When watching on my laptop, I am also able to use Google translate to have the subtitles in English. However, that function does not work if I try to watch from my phone. Every once in a while you have to refresh the screen if the English subtitles stop, but refreshing works. So glad this is happening on a Sunday and the next day is a holiday here in the US and I don't work because with the time difference it is going to be a long weekend. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
