Hologram Helle Receives at Home at Gavnø Slot

Hologram Helle is receiving at a level that should embarrass her good friend Yrma, the Crown Princess of Denmark. She's opening up her large castle "for the season"; making announcements about this summer's event at the castle including the arrival of the World Ballet; and a little entertainment for those assembled in the guise of a few opera solos. Noice! More than Madam la Comtesse de Monpezat can muster! Course, doesn't bother Baroness Helle one bit to also add bottles of her home brewed beer to the table as a little advertising. Too bad for Mary that she can't be as blatant about her commercial contracts!

Baroness Helle Reedtz-Thott welcomed her guests in the Knights Hall at Gavnø Castle at the annual season opening. Helle Reedtz-Thott presented a new exhibition of the new china Flora, inspired by the world's most exclusive frames Flora Danica. Opera singer Jens-Christian Wandt gave a taste of what awaits guests when the World Ballet comes to Gavnø Castle this summer. Here he sings "In the Light Nights." Jens-Christian Wandt announces that Gavnø Palace this summer will have the opportunity to present both ballet and opera, when the solo dancers from The Royal Ballet of London visit the historic parklands and perform with the World Ballet.

Yrma Learns About Deadly Diseases; Picks Up Where Free Clinic Doctor Left Off in 2000

 

Yrma was at the University of Copenhagen today for the annual Research Day showing off her new & improved Kate Middleton look: freshly fluffed weave (with a touch of red for that desirable ginger look, Hello Harry!), aging face full of fillers, raccoon eyeliner, recycled coat (for that Princess Anne touch of frugality) and even stockings on her legs for that full-on Middleton Look. With this costume, the out-Kated Kate hit the town to pretend to be interested in viruses and sheep.

HRH The Crown Princess participated as a patron at the official opening of Research Day 2012 in the Ceremonial Hall, University of Copenhagen, 19 April 2012. After the opening, the Crown Princess visited the adjacent Square together with Rector Ralf Hemmingsen and education minister Morten Østergaard, where the City of Copenhagen and Copenhagen University had established a research square with a variety of reports from the world of science. At researcher square Crown Princess had the opportunity to learn about giant squids, malaria, self-assembling molecules and super social ants as well as what happens if Copenhagen is placed under water. Research Day is a recurring event that will arouse curiosity and understanding of research methods and results among the general population. Across the country, research institutions, municipalities, museums, businesses and others interested in research create events that make research practical, fun and life related. Behind the Research Day is the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation. The initiative is a recommendation from the think tank for an understanding of research.

Alexandra, Prince Henrik & Various Members of Team Schackenborg Take In New Tivoli Comedy Show

Linie 3 is one of Denmark's most notorius comedy troupes and one of the stars is Preben Kristensen, the husband of Yrma's hairdressor Søren Hedegaard. They've opened a new show at Tivoli and le tout Copenhagen came out on 12 April to catch the premiere. An interesting cross section of all your favourites from Trine Villemann's Copenhagen 1015 were there: Derfie's school chum Ellen Hillingsø; Count Michael and Countess Caroline Ahlefeldt-Laurvig-Bille, partners with Joachim in De 5 Gårde; stylist Dennis Knudsen who has fussed over both Princess Marie and Frex Ex Maria Montell; Joachim bestie Oscar Davidsen Siesbye and his mother, smørrebrød queen Ida Davidsen (they have sandwiches on their menu honouring all members of the royal family (including still the "Princess Alexandra"), except for Yrma (!!); beleaguered private secretary to Yrma Caroline Heering and her husband Peter, Derfie's lifelong friend; Bent Fabricius-Bjerre and his wife Camilla; Prince Henrik, Countess Alexandra and Martin Jørgensen round out the invited guests. No Yrma (allergies to cultural events and laughing at jokes in Danish are just debilitating, poor dear). No Derfie (allergies to work are just debilitating, poor dear). So, Daisy sent Lene Balleby to keep an eye on things. Too many Team Schackenborg members in one place with drinks flowing afterward at the Hotel Royal and lots of laughs is a threat to the Crown Princely Court!

Little Yrma Hands Out Little Brother Prize During Children's Aid Foundation Day

Mary's escort's dress perfectly describes the Crown Princess's trajectory as a Dane of any social significance.


Yrma and her recently fluffed Kate Middleton wig travelled to Copenhagen Town Hall this morning to have her photograph taken next to the two recipients of the Little Brother Prize handed out by someone else despite Yrma being the patron of the Children's Aid Foundation charity. No evidence that Yrma actually made significant contact with anyone present. But Yrma would like to show off that she has a new jacket! It looks nearly identical to the one she wore shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue last year. Isn't that special? Is it a BY Malene Birger design? They are official sponsors of Børnehjælpsdagen. (And you thought Yrma's involvement was because she liked kids! LOL)

Website: Børnehjælpsdagen

Børnehjælpsdagen is a nationwide, non-partisan charity which since 1904 has worked for children's conditions in Denmark.

Today Børnehjælpsdagen has supported 15,000 young people who live with an agency or with a foster family in Denmark.

The aim is to give them a grant of positive experiences and stories of their lives backpack. It takes courage to face the world.

HRH The Crown Princess as patron will present Children's Help's Little Brother Prize at Copenhagen Town Hall.

"Ugh, I thought I could get out of here without having to say hello, I could almost cry this person actually extended himself."


"Where are the cameras!?"


"Oh, there they are!!"

Yrma & the Sluuuurrrrrrrrpsons Scramble to Be Nice & Worthy: Salivating at Possible Mærsk Inheritance

Look for Yrma, Yrma's Pappy Jock Boganson and/or The Dumpling to hit the funeral of Denmark's richest man in the next few days. Last chance to be super nice to Mærsk's three daughters and heirs to his estimated 125 billion kroner fortune (22 billion $US). After all, slurping narcissists figure that with all that moolah, all the properties and stuff, it's just too much for three people and their children. I mean, there is a yacht, a home on the French Riviera, priceless works of art, Danish manors and estates and too much cash for anyone to count. This is one funeral where the Sluuuurrrrrrpsons will not just be showing up with their pockets lined in plastic wrap to accommodate the leftover artichoke dip from the funeral buffet. Susan Moody may even splurge with some leftover Wind Ambassador money on a new black frock from Prisunic! They've got to pull out all the stops on thissie! Even a little Fabergé trinket or a small Rembrandt drawing could be hocked to allow for an upgrade to the converted goat barn avec satellite dish next to Henri's pile in Cahors, France. Anything to further lay the ground to ask for an invite to the (real) Queen's Jubliee festivities in London this summer. The Sluuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrpsons are convinced that Charles and Camilla, despite being what Jock and Suse also saw as being snobby, just love them to bits. But, London is expensive and all the freebies they can get will help. Enter Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller and his billions. Cross your Chad Morgan teef!

At least Yrma won't need to instruct her parents to make nice to get continued privileges on the Mærsk company airplane, the one that took her and Derfie to Africa for their honeymoon at the Bonde estate in Kenya. Danfoss's plane was put into emergency service for them when the Dumbledorks were in Thailand during massive social unrest (a preview of what is to come in Denmark?!) and the Lego plane has been used to take the couple (with baby Xian) to Scotland for a hunt, and Switzerland for partying and skiing on several occasions. Stay nice to those folks and global sluuuurrrrping can continue!

Mærsk Estate Worth Billions

Exactly how rich Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller was has never been publicly disclosed. Large parts of the property was owned by the family fund, but whatever was the owner of Denmark's richest man. The heirs will now benefit securities, houses, boats and paintings for billions.

125 billion kroner. So great was Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller's fortune estimated to be as Berlingske News magazine in 2010 produced its annual list of Denmark's richest. An enormous fortune, but clearly less than the year before, where the shipowner was good for an entire 179 billion in 2007.

The 125 billion kroner continued to smoothly make Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Denmark's richest. In fact he was twice as rich as the Kirk Kristiansen family, owners of Lego, whose fortune last year totaled 45 billion.

Arithmetic on Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller's private fortune is not quite so simple for a very large portion of its assets were placed in family foundations. Three Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller-controlled funds own about 54 percent of the shares of AP Møller - Mærsk. The shares that are not included in the personal estate of Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller.

On the same grounds, Mr. Møller did not get on Forbes' list of world's richest, and has just to rely on private fortunes. Had his assets instead stood in Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller's own name, he could probably have been placed in the Top 20 on the Forbes list.

Cash, for Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller, was never lacking. In private, he owned 3.7 percent of the shares of the AP Møller-Maersk Group - which with yesterday's share price was equal to a value of small seven billion dollars. The shares are released, probably as part of the estate of Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller to the three daughters who are Ane Maersk Mc-Kinney Uggla, Kirsten Maersk Mc-Kinney Olufsen and Leise Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller.

However, it's not only cash and securities, the three daughters now share. Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller was also rich in physical property, which now passes to the family.

First and foremost is the house on Mosehøjvej 4C in Charlottenlund. The villa, which the owner had built and went into service in 1987, is specially designed for the late Emma Maersk, so it has no door sills. That's because Emma Maersk in recent years was in a wheelchair and therefore needed a house with easy access to the many rooms.

And space is plentiful in the house that is 670 square meters large. The house is on one level and looks like an overgrown house from the outside, but is listed in exclusive materials and surrounded by a plot of no less than 13,000 square meters. The public property of the house was in 2010 28 million.

Mærsk Mc-Kinney Moller has over the years bought up 15 other houses in the neighbourhood, so the value of the properties in Charlottenlund probably run into well over 100 million kroner.

Another valuable property is Mr Møller's home in Vence at the French Riviera, located between Nice and Cannes. Exactly what the home is worth is not known.

Until recently Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller also owned a manor on Lolland - Bramsløkke. The manor, whose land holdings are 158 acres plus 50 acres of leased land was originally purchased by Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller's father. In 2009, Leise Maersk took over the estate.

The heirs must also decide what to do with Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller's beloved yacht - PINCH VIII. Yacht, the type Swan RS82 Mærsk Mc-Kinney Moller gave himself as a birthday gift in 2009. It is 82 feet - or 25 meters - and is one of the largest privately owned sailing yachts in Denmark. The boat has an estimated value of around 60 million kroner.

Finally, there will also be a need for larger quantity boxes when Mr. Møller's contents are to be distributed. Not least, the private collection of art is likely to bring considerable millions, should the family decide to sell it.

Few people know exactly what works hang on the walls of Mr Møller's homes, but it has previously been suggested that among others are the works of Picasso, Delacroix and Matisse.

Derfie Working?: Participates in School Olympics, Not Skole Øl

"Typically, I like a really tight, round arse, something I can really sink my teeth into, womanly, fecund and bodacious. Not flat like my wife's. You hip?"


Derfie and an evidently mortified Danish Olympic runner Sara Slott visited the "School Olympics" in Viborg today. In Danish the event is called "Skole OL", OL being the abbreviation of Olympic Games. It is very close to the word for beer, øl, so that could be why he showed up with so much enthusiasm. "Carlsberg take me away!" Derfie is nothing if not well suited for playtime with children. His IOC membership may still be very inappropriate, but we can't deny that Derfie getting to play outside makes him very happy. As a treat, as soon as he arrives home, Nanny serves him a bowl of chocolate pudding, then puts him down for a nap and, if he's a good boy, reads him a story.

This is on the heels of the Derfster and Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt opening the European Wind Energy Association Conference at the Bella Centre. What an exhausting week of two whole appearances. Too bad Professor John Donaldson of Clan Sluuuuuuuurrrrrrrper was a bust as Wind Ambassador, then Derfie could have stayed home.

On Tuesday, Crown Prince Frederik visited Sondre School in Viborg on the occasion of the Olympics and the School Olympics. The active crown prince showed both in word and deed the Olympic values that are ​​involved, when he ran at the head of 200 eager students.

"It is really motivating for me today to see so many children make such great efforts. I also hope that my presence here can motivate them a little," said Crown Prince Frederik to Viborg Folkeblad.dk.
