Investiture in NL: Gala Dinner at Rijksmuseum for Queen Beatrix and the Prince of Orange: Uptight, Little Mary Boganson Shows Her Insecurity Card - Again.

Madam's Indian name is Stick-Up-Arse 

 

Get out yer sunnies! The blingy brightness volume has been turned to eleven! Tonight in Amsterdam's newly renovated Rijksmuseum, a gala dinner was held in honour of the abdication of Queen Beatrix in favour of her son, Prince Willem-Alexander. Tomorrow, there will be a formal stepping down of the queen back to her moniker of Princess Beatrix, and the investiture of her son to King of the Netherlands, their first male monarch since 1890.

 

But the fun part starts tonight with the dinner to which all foreign royal heirs and high-ranking guests were invited. Dress code was black tie with tiaras, an unusual mix, but thoroughly Dutch, the country that brings you hats and long dresses and decorations for Prinsjesdag (Opening of Parliament). Oh brother, does future Queen Maxima bring it, or what? Nice tone set by wearing a dress already seen (at Charles' 60th birthday) with a dazzling set of gobstopper diamonds, including a tiara Maxima's worn many times before and mirror-image necklace, but with her hair down in a Veronica Lake style, the whole effect is less successful than jools that glittery should be. This combo worked better on her in Sweden for Victoria's wedding, but she makes up for it in spunk and spirit!

 

Gosh, there were a plethora of gorgeous ladies, mostly Mathilde and Letizia who just looked fantastic, and their husbands were rightly very proud to be on their arms. It's noticeable that the highly Catholic and très BCBG Mathilde and Philippe are very touchy feely with each other. The Spanish couple is more professional in their official appearance, but the smoldering looks they give each other tell a different story. Haakon and Mette-Marit are always affectionate, holding hands and seeming in sync. But then there's Derf and Yrma. And Yrma is making a strange statement.

 

Giving off a vibe akin to a figure skater's ode to the mother-of-the-bride, Madam's dress was a nod to the presque-zizi! In the colour of its foreskin, with a neckline in flesh-coloured mesh to imitate the prepuce (and partially disguise the chestal area sun damage), the embroidered circles recollect the staphylococcus of a venereal disease that affects the shaft - acquired by either a used car salesman or in the back of a ute, or both - Madam, much like the fabric of the dress, was as stiff as can be, with her head exploding out of her own presque-zizi, acting as her own jiz in a golden shower turned chestnut for her new hair rinse. In fact, Madam was so erect in character in her penis dress that she seems to STRAIN to talk to the Spanish crown princely couple. It's as if she is far too aroused by all the diamonds, the international paparazzi and the thoughts of her photograph making its way all around the world to Australia, to manage to talk to a man she believes is in love with her and his gorgeous, intelligent wife. Even the men in the painting are looking down on Mary as if to say, "Bitch, please. Lene told Oprah you weren't available because she knows what an embarrassment you are!" 

 

Another difficult moment must have come for MoreMore when she was seated next to the Prince of Wales, a man Mary's "bestie" Amber Petty believes should never be King of Australia. Perhaps they could talk about how Mary abandoned Charles and Camilla when they had official duties in Copenhagen last year, once dumping them on her Slurppppppppppson parents and Step-Dumpling. Or they could talk about how Mary really believes she deserves to be godparent to Charles' soon to be born grandchild. Or they could talk about how Charles invited Mary and Fred specifically to his wedding - an invitation that not all royal heirs received - and despite having nothing on her calendar, declined to attend. Such fun. And it will be capped off tomorrow with Mary having to curtesy to Maxima and Willem-Alexander. Wha hae! Just what she's been dreading!

A Royal Family: Rejoice! DR Re-Posting Series with Daisy, Derf and Joachim About Royal Cousins

The Danish Royal Family at Fredensborg. This is the portrait that Daisy is said to recommission with current members of the family.

Fantastic news! DR has re-posted the six, hour-long videos for the 2002 documentary production of A Royal Family. This wonderful series discusses the "Father-in-law of Europe", Danish King Christian IX whose six children made illustrious matches.

1. Crown Prince Frederik married Princess Louise of Sweden and begat the current Danish royal line, but also that of Norway.

2. Princess Alexandra married Prince Edward of Great Britain, son of Queen Victoria, and begat the current British royal line.

3. Prince George was installed as the second modern king of Greece and married Grand Duchess Olga of Russia. They begat the current Greek, Rumanian and Yugoslavian royals, with marriages into the British royal family, including the Kents and the Duke of Edinburgh.

4. Princess Dagmar married the future Tsar Alexander becoming Maria Feodorovna and begat the ill-fated Tsar Nikolai II as well as assorted other Romanovs.

5. Princess Thyra married the prince of Hannover, Duke of Cumberland and begat the current House of Hannover.

6. Prince Valdemar married Princess Marie d'Orléans of the French and Brazilian royal houses. They begat Count Flemming (married to Countess Ruth on whose day of death Yrma announced the Miracle Twins) and Margrethe who married into the Bourbon-Parme family and begat the current Queen of Rumania.

The narration is in Danish while the interviews are in English. Interviews are sprinkled throughout the documentary with descendants of these six children of King Christian IX and Queen Louise: Amadeo di Savoia, Alexander of Serbia, Constantine and Anne-Marie of Greece, Princess Benedikte, Michael of Kent, Michel de Grèce, Valdemar af Rosenborg, several Romanovs, and of course, Daisy, Joachim and Frederik who was in the early throes of dealing with the Australian thing living in his Paris apartment.

Sportif!: Derfie Up, Yrma Down: Diminished Yrma Flies Solo and Defensively In Holland, Derfie Prove He Manly in Sweden

Little Mary Boganson protects the Slurrppppppppson family jools: the presque-zizi!

Looking miniscule and easily looked over, Little Mary Boganson did something unusual: she travelled solo to spend a casual weekend in Apeldoorn, Netherlands with the other crown princelies in the run up to Maxima and Willem Alexander's acedency to the throne on 30 April. Funny because Yrma didn't attend the 40th birthday parties of either Willem Alexander or Maxima, because Freddles had his own things to do then and she didn't see fit to show up alone. (Same with Charles and Camilla's wedding - Mary and Frex were one of the few crown princely couples with an invitation, but Derf had an engagement and Mary knew not to spoil a regal English wedding with her uncouth Pictish manners!)

The only one dressed in jeans of course, except for Willem Alexander who as host gets to, Madam showed up very casually without the Derf Man to preen and prance as the beta princess in the company of the rest of the aristocratic bunch assembled (whether by birth or circumstance, everyone else assembled has proven their noble credentials). How long does one have to live in Europe, to be around a crowd of future monarchs, to understand that tight dark-rinse jeans, booties and a boiled wool poncho aren't going to cut it for "casual"? This photo is hysterical because Mary may be in the centre, but she's hiding behind Maxima, cupping her balls while showing off multi-carat jewellery (please not Letizia's non-blinged-out hands), and doing a little cutesy-poo head tilt. Letizia is unafraid to face Mary, blocking her from Felipe, Maxima is doing the same against her own husband, plus leaning away a bit from her shoulders. Mary is a creepy guest!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Earlier back in Copenhagen, something interesting happened. Yrma and Derfie were out for a walk, no doubt Mary's idea under the guise of hashing out ideas for their next living arrangement and child custody issues without fear of being overheard by the children or the grey men. A tv camera was set up in front of a wide open door to a building, and what does Yrma do but walk right in front of it. You can see how Derfie comes back closer to Mary as they pass and get recorded, as if Frederik were willing to do what anyone else would do and walk behind the camera, but runs back up on the curb averting his eyes to the camera to meet Mary as she blasts in front of it, and to her eternal credit, doesn't even give the camera so much as the side eye, although her smirk gives her awat. After all, this was staged to be a "see, they do love each other and do normal couple things like take walks". What's funny is that the reporter or cameraman looks into the camera after they pass and says that was "the Crown Prince and Mary". Interesting that Mary is known by her first name while "casual Derfie" gets to be called the Crown Prince. Who's got the respect now? Oh, Mary, we see through you all too well. You are clever enough to arrange for a "casual" "surprise" "sneaky" appearance on camera to satiate your fame whoring needs, but not smart enough to show us you can do this for your charities. Oh, yeah! You don't do anything good for your charities! Showing up to watch kids wrap a present for you doesn't count as work!

Meanwhile, the Rehabilitation of Frederik continues with Derf's participation in this year's Vasa Race, the cross-country ski race that he completed last year, as well. Exercising in the sun always helps a depressed soul to feel better and back to normal. But will Derf's normal be good enough? He probably succeeded in getting the alcohol out of his system, but what about a sense of royal duty? And will it help him kick Madam La Boganista to the curb. And let's not forget Anne Sophie Hermansen's wonderful advice for Frex not too long ago: why not share this passion through Derfie's connections to the best people and event spaces to connect sports with kids, not just himself?

Denmark's cool Crown Prince Frederik proved once again yesterday, Sunday, that he is in good shape. There he completed for the second year in a row the 90 km long Swedish skiing course, the Vasa race.

This year Frederik hit his goal for the race being on his cross-country skis for six hours and 37 minutes. It earned him a position as number 4136 out of a total of 14,381 participants.

This gave the royal skier a better position than he was in last year when he finished as 5530th. In turn, the Crown Prince's time two minutes better when he last ran the same distance in six hours, 35 minutes and 32 seconds.

Frederik is far from the only royal who has completed Vasaløbet. Swedish King Carl Gustaf also has, just as Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Carl Philip both have completed the 90-kilometer distance.

Last year Frederik wasn't the only royal skier in Vasaløbet. But only almost. For last year Duchess Catherine's beautiful younger sister, Pippa, added a kind of royal glamour to the race.
