Team Schackenborg can do it!
Dude. Something is up. Is this just coincidence that Derf and Yrma are off on far-flung corners of the earth from each other, leaving their young children in the exclusive care of nannies, and being given enough rope to hang themselves, what with Yrma unintentionally insulting Arab and Muslim countries with her Looker Me! photo shoots thankfully under no one's real attention, and with Derfie chasing American tail sailing and talking dirty with his mates in the US under the guise of his très sportif IOC membership?
What is UP? Here it is Flag Day in Denmark and happily married and dutiful Team Schackenborg has taken the baton and run with it. Joachim, elegant in his lieutenant colonel uniform, and Marie, looking more polished than usual befitting the importance and solemnity of the occasion, were off to the Citadel in Copenhagen, just up from Amalienborg, to participate in today's ceremony marking the international efforts made by the Danish military since 1948 and honouring fallen soldiers and their families. Afterwards they attended the associated service of remembrance at Holmens Church, the church dedicated as the naval church, and also where Daisy and Henrik were married and the Miracle Twins were christened.
What a graceful pair they make! No Looker Me! antics or round shoulders from Marie, rather there is perfect posture and sobriety. Pure regalness from Joachim who has the natural build and composure that honours a uniform. Reminds of the also physically elegant Felipe and Letizia in Spain. No bogans, here. Daisy has surely taken note and is quietly keeping the Derfson family at bay allowing them to be preoccupied with their favoured sporty play and PR silliness and embarrassment, and has pushed her more professional and dignified younger son and his wife into the role more properly occupied by the heir. Signalling some future shuffling among her children for the long term survival of the monarchy? Just a glance at her grandchildren would tell her which way to go! Perhaps this is why Nikolai and Felix are still offered lovely professional photo shoots on their birthdays while Yrma is allowed to take out her long lens usually reserved for The Poors? And why Nikolai was given such a royal and lovely confirmation? Stay tuned!

One might add that Marie is elegantly re-using an old dress from a small inexpensive Danish designer, that she wore in many different ways over the last two years. Respectful of the Danish taxpayers struggeling the crisis......
ReplyDeleteMoreMore watch and learn! BTW...I know that LookerMe is in middle east( I fear s-he will make a new Cartoon crisis) but what the F... Did Freddles do??? Home on the sofa with a bottle of vodka and a blonde "nanny"? Would it be too much for Freddles to get of his lazy behind and show some respect to the military that protect and serve his own flag and crown?
Professionals!!!! This team is something!!! I like both and I will love Joachim and Nikolai as our kings some day.
ReplyDeleteThis couple look and act fantastic! I wish we could see more of them. It´s a pity that Mary is so unsure and constrained most of the time. For instance: the stupid Picture of her "stretching" her foot lite a ballet dancer. What was she thinking of???
ReplyDeleteIs it Marie herself who is the person behind this blogg?
ReplyDeleteDiscusting!!

No Marie isn't behind the blog. There were a lot of people who couldn't stand Mary before Marie even came onto the scene. At first I thought there was an ulterior motive to this blog. But if you really watch the Danish crown prince couple in action in my opinion they do lack a bit of professionalism It seemed in the beginning again my opinion they were more of a team more reserved more refrained. Now they dont seem like a team and do not refrain from doing whatever they please. There isn't another crown princess on the face of the earth that would show up on an official trip to an Arab country with a sleeveless sweater a knee length skirt and spike heels and uncovered hair. Something has gone haywire. Having four children puts a lot of stress on any marriage even with nannies. Maybe better PR reps and advisors etc they can sort it out. But Joachim and Marie are looking very capable stable and professional compared to F and M. No one wants unprofessional and undignified people representing their country
