The Benedikte/AM sides will drop off with occasional visits from cousins Alexia, Pavlos, Gustav (especially if Mary continues to see benefit in being friends with Carina - that is if Carina still sees a benefit to being with Gustav), etc. one at a time each consecutive summer. The only 'regulars' would logically be the Schackenborgs, but Frex doesn't exactly have the best relationship with his brother, although this was not always the case.<br /><br />Perhaps Fred In Charge is enough of a nightmare without mummy around that Derf will do something in the meantime - send Mary back to Oz and get Katja going as first lady of the land. Then we KNOW that the Schackenborgs will be warmly welcomed! And there will be fewer nannies, too! ('specially if the tater tots would go with MoreMore.)Cecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11413600355970790358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712232204136313906.post-56148653561145526482010-07-26T18:24:08.663-07:002010-07-26T18:24:08.663-07:00They'll probably just be limited to Fred's...They'll probably just be limited to Fred's family once he takes over. I can't imagine Mary tolerating the sharing of the spotlight with extended family members. And does anyone else wonder if these Grasten photo shoots with the extended family will continue under King Frederik?Pixiecatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712232204136313906.post-85423979246240584102010-07-26T16:43:47.251-07:002010-07-26T16:43:47.251-07:00Gwen, I think since Benedikte is still in the line...Gwen, I think since Benedikte is still in the line of succession and has a private secretary who is paid by the court, Nathalie's birth announcement was done as a curtesy as a member of the greater royal family. Daisy is big on royal formality, as you well know, and must think of such things as a gift to her family. Once Freddles takes over, I'm sure announcements will be limited to his and Joachim's families, or just his if Mary has anything to do with it!Cecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11413600355970790358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712232204136313906.post-35324059709729184132010-07-26T16:40:02.751-07:002010-07-26T16:40:02.751-07:00I can't wait to see who the godparents are for...I can't wait to see who the godparents are for little Konstantin. Naming him after his great uncle would bode well for the Greek side of the family. Daisy has been signalling by this past week being seen only with sister Anne-Marie - they went to an art exhibit (non-officially) together and formally 'opened' Graasten the other day together. Nikolaos as godparent could be a nice 'wedding present.' Or maybe young Theodora and Philippos who don't have godchildren except for their brother's kids.<br /><br />It's all very fun speculation!!Cecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11413600355970790358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712232204136313906.post-48531447222532299922010-07-26T16:35:50.635-07:002010-07-26T16:35:50.635-07:00She didn't bother with Irene Wedell's fune...She didn't bother with Irene Wedell's funeral, and her son and wife are "close friends" of Mary's and super duper rich. I guess they have normal value systems or some such rubbish that Mary finds repulsive. Or Mary is pulling a childish snub because she isn't godparent to their two kids.<br /><br />I think Countess Ruth's funeral will bring out the big guns, including the Norwegian royal family in near entirety, as the Norways seemed to be more friendly and accommodating than the Denmarks. Surprise.<br /><br />Or maybe Mary is hyper conscious of how when in black she is looking more and more like a Greek widow, complete with round shoulders!<br /><br />Yes, the guest list will be a sight to see. Alex may even go, who knows?! High royal turnout which of course is not flattering to Our Mary!Cecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11413600355970790358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712232204136313906.post-18375640037140345172010-07-26T16:33:38.567-07:002010-07-26T16:33:38.567-07:00I wonder why the announcement of the birth of Nath...I wonder why the announcement of the birth of Nathalie's baby had to appear on the website of the Danish monarchy. Nathalie is not a member of the Royal House and she is not even in the line of succession. Very odd.<br /><br />As for the upper-crust funeral, it is clear to me that Mary doesn't fit in, and I would even venture to say that all those landowners and titled people look down upon her ordinary origins. And I'm not counting her pseudo-aristocratic friends, who are more b-list celebs, in my opinion.Gwennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712232204136313906.post-64536139482464849712010-07-26T15:56:33.724-07:002010-07-26T15:56:33.724-07:00Mary will only go to the funeral if she's prop...Mary will only go to the funeral if she's properly healed from whatever it is that's been keeping her away from the cameras. We all know that it's pretty hard to keep Mary away from the media.<br />-PixiecatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
