So, Mary had a party at Amalienborg to celebrate her 40th birthday. A few royal cousins made it, as did the Norwegian and Belgian heirs to the throne with their wives, and some Aussies seemed to make the trip. Fred's friends were out in force, too, but no sign of Rigmor Zobel; Dutch, Spanish or Swedish royals; or the Sluuuuurrrrrrpppppsons. Even Prince Joachim didn't seem to bother crossing the plaza for the party. Too cold out for a barbie by the pool, what sort of havoc was wrecked to the newly restored palace with that many potential drunks (Aussies and Danes kind of have it up on each other in the drinkie department) lolling about. Interesting that Daisy's favourite priest Peter Parkov was there, too. Blessing, or exorcising the whole event?
Count Valdemar and sister Countess Marina af Rosenborg, Danish noble cousins of Fred via a royal ancestor. Valdemar is Facebook friends with Katja Storkholm and Søren Jessen - Team Derf!
Freddles' school friend (but never girlfriend) Ellen Hillingsø and Michael and Caroline Ahlefeldt-Laurvig-Bille, themselves partners with Prince Joachim in De Fem Gårde
Preben Kristensen (parter of Mary's hairdresser Søren Heddegaard), Mary's stylist Anja Camilla Aladji and her friend Steen Christiansen
Holger Foss and his wife, prima ballerina Rose Gad. Holger was at Harvard with Fred back in the 90s and accompanied him on their cross country tour of the US. Rose babysat Mary Donaldson after she was arrived in Denmark and also babysat Amber Petty at Christian's baptism (Rose was seated next to Amber, wearing a bright blue beret).
Christel and Frederik Luttichau, who himself is a major landowner. Christel's mother is Susanne Heering, Daisy's dance theatre friend and collaborater, and Cristel's brother is Peter Heering, husband to Mary's private secretary and lady-in-waiting Caroline Heering.
Caroline Heering's sister Marie Louise and her husband Marc Høm, a photographer whose photo of Michelle Obama was less than impressive and didn't allow for much of an international break-out. It was at this wedding that Mary was seen quite diminished on the steps of the castle.
Rikki Juul Brandt, cousin to Ellen Hillingsø, and her husband Michael. Rikki is a serious horsewoman.
Julie Mølsgaard and Søren Jessen, the London restauranteur who gallantly lent Mary his jacket one chilly evening instead of Fred while all three were out and about.
Landowner and Master of the Royal Hunt Jørgen Skeel and his wife Malou in what looks to be the same dress she wore to the boat party for Fred's 40th birthday. Malou was Mary's partner on a secret visit to Thailand back in 2009. The Skeels own the summer house at Blockhus that they loan to Derf and Yrma. Malou is godmother to Izzy.
Dr. Christian Buchwald and his wife Elisabeth. Christian is Derf's longtime tennis partner and godfather to Izzy.
Jarl Friss-Mikkelsen and his wife. Jarl Friis co-wrote the song Mary sang for Fred at his 40th birthday party.
Scanomat coffee billionaire and luxury yacht Parsifal III owners Kim and Nina Vibe-Petersen. Kim's businesses got promoted by Derf and Yrma in NYC and in exchange, the Dumbledorks get to party in the Mediterranean on the Petersen's yacht!
Kim and Nina Vibe-Petersen
Charlotte Velin who has the unenviable task of accompanying Mary, the kids and Ziggy to the horse trials every year
Per Horning, disgraced former chief of the court of the Crown Prince and his wife. Horning was canned not long after he manhandled a member of the press who dared to ask Mary at a public event an embarrassing question.
Aussies? The sheila in blue looks very similar to the one who visited Mary in Copenhagen back in 2002. They were seen leaving Cafe Victor, where Mary was seen recently accosting Haakon and Mette-Marit after Daisy's 40th Jubilee celebrations.
Richie Rich Fritz Schur, Friend of Daisy and Henrik, CEO of Dong Energy (that is priceless for a gay man), with his date

Peter Flinth
Julie Meulengracht and Peter Bang. Julie's grandfather was Derf's grandfather's doctor. Her grandparents were among Queen Ingrid's good friends. Peter Bang is an IT millionaire and was the one who actually got Mary the fake job at Navision in 2002 with Peter Warnøe as her fake boss.
Fred's sailing partner and Pixie's Cutie Shore Manager, Søren Bredvig Nielsen and his wife Ida
Gitte and Christian Dalum who have known Fred for 20 years or so since Gitte and Fred worked together at the UN in New York.
