Ivalo & Minik Foundation: Izzy Again Out in the Cold: Christian Gets Keys to the Kingdom, Miracle Twins Get Greenlandic Philanthropy

Poor Izzy. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.

Older brother Christian is all Boganson, a mini-Jock 'Half-Mast' Donaldson, maths autistic and all. His recent appearance in a video with his family for the Sydney Opera House anniversary showed a mouth-breathing, flat-headed, moon-faced dim-wit and at a recent Chrissie programme, he sat in the corner preoccupied with a Rubik's cube, not at all to Maz's dismay, so you can tell she has some experience with this behaviour within a family. At least they dress him well.

Izzy was at the same Christmas concert in a pretty dress, but in a coat far too small for her. She must endure being 'styled' the same way as her little sister, the two of them with long stringy hair insufficiently pulled back with silver headbands (where is a German Vogue stylist when you need one?). Hard not to get the impression that the styling was for Josie, then transferred to Izzy out of lazy convenience. Our girl is starting to become truly obnoxious. Playing with her pressies (why on earth do these greedy buggers not put an end to the freebies!?! Joizus!), regarding the singing choir girls with a scowl, half sitting in her pew bench, looking far too proud to have been given permission to hold Madam MoreMore's floral bouquet at an attempt at positive self-reinforcement, it's just too sad of a sight. She's ignored by her mother in the same video mentioned earlier, allowed to stand on theatre seats, generally being taught by default that it's ok to not have manners or self-control since she's not getting enough love at home. And she also has to suffer the indignity of watching her older brother get his first Greenlandic costume in a semi-formal ceremony at home. Nothing for Iz. Cause she's not the heir.

Now, not quite yet three years old, the Miracle Twins have an educational foundation named for them: Ivalo & Minik Foundation has been started to launder ALERKA money provide educational grants to Greenlanders who would like to study at the university level overseas (preferably Australia so Madam can "generously" be at the graduation ceremonies?). Hm. Given the hardcore problems of poverty and addiction in Greenland, perhaps a foundation named for Daddy Derf to help clean people up would be better. Hard to get accepted to Melbourne Law or Yale if your best friend is a fifth of vodka and you aren't either foreign royalty or legacy.

The Board includes Christian Schønau, the Derfie's chief of court and official babysitter for Mazza on her overseas jaunts. Partners include the Danish-American Foundation, the Danish Royal Court, Visit Greenland, and the University of Greenland. Contributors include the Nuna Fund, Greenland Bank's Business Fund, and two shipping lines, Royal Greenland (aspirant large-scale purveyors of seafood and by appointment to the Danish Royal Court) and Royal Arctic Line (owned by the Greenlandic government). If over-fishing is funding this thing, you can bet that a smart Greenlander will want some scholarship money to jump off this icy rock and hit other shores!

Perhaps Izzy deserves a grassroots funded foundation of her own - with the explicit mission of helping her to escape her completely fucked up family life and surroundings? Who's in?

Psych!: Derf and Yrma Called Out On Their Horse Puckey Proclamations: Their Children ARE Being Raised By Nannies And What Was That Bit About Not Tolerating Infidelity?

 

The poor Heering children, Emilie and Rosemarie, are learning quickly that it's an Orwellian world in Denmark, where "not all animals are created equally".

EXCELLENT. Perfect Saint Mary and All 'Round Great Guy Frederik are being called out on their hypocritical and whiny, self-important bullsh*t.

Of course they have nannies. Maybe if Mary hadn't shocked her husband and the royal family with the twins implantation just to get an upper hand after her post-nup and Fred and Daisy's rumoured first steps toward a divorce, then two kids would be enough for them to take care of (mostly) by themselves. They travel. They're expected to be on the opposite side of the country from time to time. They can't be expected to be able to coordinate their schedule perfectly with each others, nor with their guests/hosts/patronages. Like most other busy, high-flying parents. Naturally they should have someone at the house to make dinner if Mummy is running later than expected, or read to the children and get them ready for bed. This makes sense even if Fred and Mary are in the house, but entertaining guests.

But they were fools to talk about how they would raise their children, who weren't even born yet at the time. Fred was dumb to whine about, boo-hoo, his inattentive parents who he practically never saw until he was 21 (subtext: Poor Me. God help Denmark: it still works in his favour). And Mary was a bigger fool to rattle on about how she would be a 100% mother while marrying someone who was 100% royal and a future king. She comes from the outside world, she should know that there is no such thing as "having it all", even if you have money and a country that will bend over for you for no good reason at all. Hell, she doesn't even like children or have a rapport with them!

Cheers to Her og Nu!

Mary and Frederik Left the Children to Nannies

Frederik and Mary have been away from their four children a lot over the past three weeks

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary's four children should be happy that they have as close a relationship with their nannies. For right now it is not much that the four royal tots can look to from their parents.

Princess Mary has just spent three days in Morocco to visit battered women , and last week she was on a four-day journey around the refugee camps in the Middle East. Meanwhile, father Frederik spent the last two weeks in the United States: first, he was a spectator at the America's Cup in San Francisco, and later he traveled to the east coast of the United States, where he participated in the world championship for Farr 40 boats. It was a 7 space.

So instead of getting good-night kisses from Mor and Far, Christian, 7, Isabella, 6, Josephine and Vincent, 2, had to settle for loving kisses on the forehead from their nannies.

Frederik and Mary have previously stated that their children not be brought up by nannies, as Frederik himself was.

"I grew up with nannies and governesses. I did not have much to do with my parents before I turned 21. When I was little, I was allowed to say goodnight to them, after I had been bathed and had my hair combed. And then I was put to bed. I still see my old nanny. She also helped at our wedding. But my children will certainly not grow up that way", Frederik has previously said to the American magazine Parade.

Crown Princess Mary, who herself grew up with a father and mother who took care of her and her siblings, has also said that she probably had to cope with the task of taking care of her children.

"I would consider myself to a pretty high degree as a working mother. But I will be one hundred percent mother. My children should not be brought up by nannies", said Princess Mary Politiken in 2004.

But the reality is different for the now quite large family in Frederik VIII's Palace at Amalienborg. For the many official events and trips that Frederik and Mary to attend, it is impossible to be full time parents, and therefore they resort to nannies to keep it all together.

The Crown Prince Couple has had children along on official travel. Among other times, in November 2011, the tour arrived in Australia and before Frederik and Mary held a private holiday in Melbourne and Tasmania, there were two weeks of official events. While Christian and Isabella only arrived for the private part of the trip, Vincent and Josephine were there the whole time. The twins were just 11 months old and it was too long for them to do without both mother and father. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess had, however, made ​​sure to have nannies, so they should not be around and at open exhibitions with children in her arms.

One must assume that the four children have become accustomed to being cared for by others. For it is not only in the official tours that Frederik and Mary have nannies. The royal couple have realised that it is quite convenient to have help when they are on holiday. So even when the royal family is completely private, there are people to take care of the kids. Like this, reality does not quite live up to the dream that Frederik and Mary had to be "ordinary parents".

Legoland: Thanks for the Product Placement!: Mary's Annual PR Freebie Advertising Holiday Payment/Deposit For Future Rides on the Lego Jet!

Mary and children on a kids only ride. Some animals are more equal than others.

 

 

After that revolting display at Graasten recently whereby everyone seemed to shun Madam La Boganista and her over the top helicopter pretend parenting, Yrma and Derf took all four children, a nanny, and Cousin Ingrid to LEGOLAND for their annual photo shoot in the park in exchange for all the rides on the Lego jet company CEO and royal family friend Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen (KKK!) will let them have. Mary may not have been a good advertising "executive" (junior assistant) for her Australian clients back in the day, but she sure as hell can keep up with lucrative personal endorsements that keep her and Lego (or Huggies, or Dulux paint, or Jetstar) in cotton wool and the spotlight. Mary's little "incidental" carrying of family supplies in a large yellow Lego bag on the slopes of Verbier must be repaid in the European summer when the Boganborg family hits the Lego amusement park just north of Graasten. After a painful family photo session during which Mary is shunned by her royal relatives (as politely as possible), the family pays their KKK patron back for his generosity of letting them have the Lego jet to fly to and from Scotland, Switzerland and other points here and there without paying a dime themselves. A family of GRIFTERS, and the children are lined up and destined to expect the same sort of undeserved conveyor belt of freebies since it's well known their stupid parents keep telling them how fucking special and unique they are.

 

 

Xian, Fred and their Lego minders

 

 

This photo below CRACKS ME UP! It's Mary pushing Vinnie with Josie being pushed by a nanny behind them, and their whole entourage being accosted by kiddos in wheelchairs with their mother naively assuming the Icon of Everything to please stop and greet their sweet babies. HA! Mary hates touch and being in the midst of a corral of people, and she's deeply uncomfortable with disabled people. You can just see her Papa Slurpson's maths Asperger's traits colliding with her social anxiety and lack of confidence. Ow!

 

Josie is a spitfire! Give her hell, girl! (Of course, the other way to look at this is that Josie is all Mary and therefore inherited her nastiness. Eek!)

 

 

Telling how Fred goes down the log ride with his sons and cousins, not his wife. Mary confiscated the nannies for herself. Ditch the offensive "Indian" headgear and we'll all be ok.

 

 

Madam really does not like human contact, does she?

 

 

Kind of like when this happened back in 2006, when she hit the Salamanca markets pushing baby Xian and getting accosted by vendors and hoi polloi. The same constipated look. Ew! Peasants! Suck it, Mary! You go to LEGOLAND for an annual advertising gig, you deal with the consequences.

 

 

 

Or when at an Australian Lego event, Mary got accosted by a couple of cute school girls and could NOT handle being touched. You can just see her brain saying, "This is for free flights! This is for free flights!"

 

 

 

Here is Mary from last year on a log ride with the CEO himself, Mr. Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen. Mary and KKK are discussing the Verbier photo shoot in February with some key product placement.

 

 

 

Et voila!

 

 

 

 

Graasten 2013: A Boganborg Train Wreck With a Desperate Mary Only Highlights the Happiness of the Schackenborgs and the Family Disgust With Mary's Ridiculous Showboating: Pity the Children

Enjoy the Freak Show. We're off to have a drink!

Oy. What a show. Daisy's medicated and only shows nothing more than a neutral facial expression except when her beloved Henri is nearby. She even seems to dazingly look at her bogan grandchildren with pity and acknowledgment that their lives are stressed and emotionally difficult. The Schackenborgs showed us that they are a unified family, with respect for natural divisions (Marie is loving with Alex's boys but respectful of their space as pre-teen boys) and lots of love and doting on the youngest two by all four of the others. The poor Klein-Ellguth kids seem to realise that they are backdrops this day to The Crazy Cousin Mary Show, a real shame since their young lives have just changed radically - they have moved from their longtime home in Paris to a new house in Germany with both parents currently jobless.

There are some sweet moments between Fred and his children, especially an adorable set of interactions with Princent, his little "Mini Mig". But mostly, this year's session was just like previous sessions: everyone including the children doing their best to avoid and/or not upset Clown Princess Mary, and Yrma herself doing her best to let you know she and Kate Middleton are spiritual sisters, she is a total yummy mummy, she is a total hands-on mother, she is loved and adored by her husband/in-laws/friends/children, and that she is Australia's best export (please note the YouTube video below with sycophantic Aussie photographer). Even newly sobered Carina Axelsson's not buying it! Carina was probably relieved to have Marie come into the family - finally a same-age-ish girlfriend she could cling to who didn't suck the life out of her. It works. You can see in these photies that everyone has chosen a side: Team Schackenborg. No one goes near Mary, and everyone seems to cater to Marie and her family's concerns. Things are getting tribal!

Mary is a disgusting pill. It's allllllllll about her, innit? Looker me! Looker me! Predictably wearing a shapeless blue dress and Kate-esque white espadrille heels (Aussie flag colours as well as Kate favourites!), she never once tried to pull up the runaway shoulder that kept sliding down her left arm. That's how you know it's a purposeful show - normal people tug at their wayward clothing. Sister Mister has to take it to the next level and lean over and flash her dark strapless bra with a little side of bare shoulder. Crikey! With about three inches of gravitational pull on her ratty orange hair dye, swept back with a tiny drugstore banana clip, the overall effect is much more bogan than she realises.

It's pretty clear she sucks the energy out of the crowd, and that she is anathema to this gang of royals. You should be most relaxed with your family, especially if you are someone who has all of the material things that we're told should make a satisfying life: a partner, four bubs, in-laws who approved of you at least at one point in time, people to cook, clean, and organise her life, clothes, unearned and unimaginable privilege, and the stalwart affection of the Danish media and most of the population. You should be able to relax now! But no, Our Mary just keep on spinning in her self-centred circles and trying to churn up notice and publicity for herself. Good luck with that Aussie Princess thing, Mary. Popcorn will be ready for your Sydney Opera House show in November!

Would have been lovely to ask Athena to join them, but that's too considerate.

 

Never think Madam isn't ever at the ready with a boop-boo-pi-doo shot!

 

Yeah, that'll be a great photie. Where's your long lens, Mary? Only for the Poors?

 

 

These are photos that let us know that Izzy in particular, and Xian to a much lesser degree, are falling directly into the pattern of learning how to cope in a household with two absent parents. This is a very real phenomenon among the children of narcissists, narcissism herein the umbrella descriptor for a parent who might fully provide materially, and might even be able to say "I love you", but can barely act on that love. The result is kids who will do whatever they can to keep the peace and fit in, hoping to earn the love they should have unconditionally expressed to them everyday. Izzy plays the good child (the "identified patient") by steering the little ones, certainly hoping to earn points. She is agreeable and willing to help, giving off the characteristics of a "good child", but it is to mask and tamp down her anxiety. Without change on the part of the parents, the "good child" will turn during adolescence. You've been warned Mary.

Cute kiss blowing, Jo, but you're next, tiger.

 

Take it easy, Iz. You should not have to work this hard for attention and positive strokes!

 

In light of all that, THANK GOD FOR THIS. Say what you will about Henri, but holy moly, he loves his grandchildren and is loyal and supportive. Izzy, there is hope. Learn French! It'll alienate Mor.

Talk to Auntie Maxima, darls, about the time she was pregnant and danced with Grandpère!

 

Soaking up Grandpère's affection like a sponge while MoreMore overacts and fusses with Jo for the cameras. Note Marie keeping her self and all her cubs at arm's length from the Freak Show.

 

Nice to see Daisy holding the hand of a small descendant. She really must be drugged for her back.

 

Daisy's Cher Henri is really the only who ever gets this sort of smile, isn't he?

 

Fred can't even walk with his wife, but it does allow good catch up time with the Berleburg cousins.

 

Notice how everyone is staying away from Madam La Boganella!

 

Off to the races for the boys. Yrma's competitiveness will seep in further as they get older.

 

Cute snaggletooth. Over posing, yep, but sister needs attention. The cycle continues.

 

You go, Jo. Walk on your own and away from that monstrosity!

 

Xian scratching himself ruins an otherwise rare shot of a loving granny!

 

Those are some serious horse pills Daisy's on. Alone with children, she doesn't know what to do now. Have a seat, old girl.

 

It's like Fred is heading toward the gallows having to be near his wife-thinggie.

 

You'd bring up the rear, too, with Crazy Auntie Mary around. Distance is the best tack with sociopaths!

 

All of Mary's children are props. Just let the kid seat herself or ask a rello to help.

 

 

Derfie gets a bad rap most of the time, and often well deserved, but honestly, how can you not believe under that dazed and confused exterior there isn't someone who truly loves his children and wants them to be royal foils to their own bogan genes. Is Princent the cutest, or what?

 

 

 

  

Nice! La Petite Athena gets some big brother time and is introduced to Cousin Izzy.

 

Izzy is genuinely sweet, which is why it's so heartbreaking to see her whack home life on display.

 

Yay, Grandpère to the rescue!

 

 

The tulle underskirt is more troubling than the undies. A party dress for an outdoor photo shoot? Play clothes next time, Madam. Unless this was a freebie in exchange for publicity?

 

 "I'm on such strong pain pills for my back, I barely notice being surrounded by little people! La-la!" 

 

Xian is trying hard to reconcile Marie the person who cares about how he behaves, and Marie the Witch who his mother is always carrying on about.

Yep, I know what side I'd rather be on!

 

 

FEEL THE LOVE

Billed Bladet must have offered Madam a free fur or bicycle in exchange for a photo of her holding her man. Fred always lets down the side in ridiculous situations by giggling.

 

 

Darling Athena doesn't seem quite ready to walk without letting go.

 

The nice members of the family see this and extend helping hands.

 

Under the watchful gaze of Maman, she heads toward Grandpère and the Sad Cousins.

 

Sees the writing on the wall, and goes back to Papa.

 

Mary thinks fake laughing/bonding with Jo will distract you from that Athena thinggie.

 

Nuh-uh!

 

That is a shit bad roots job, Mares!

Is Søren not still working for her? Or is she trying to get pregnant with the Miracle Triplets?

A Swedish magazine noticed that when you get closer you see...

A band from his Afghanistan visit, and a "46664" for Nelson Mandela!

One for the Schackenborg picture frames!

 

Pretty sure we've never seen this kind of maternal concern and affection from La Boganista!

 

Princent will look just like Fred when he's older.

 

 

Give 'er hell, Josie!

 

"I didn't tell Yehudi to design me a back-talker!"

Glad you're a spitfire, honey!

 

 

"Yikes! Here comes Auntie Mary!"

Must say, Queen Ingrid's flower gardens are as pretty now as they were in her day.

 

 

Vinnie's practicing the side eye he'll be giving Mor for the rest of her life!

 

Well, this is unfortunate.

 

I'd bet that's a face these children will have a lot while they live at home. Unless it's true and Xian really is a mouth breather, oh please no.

 

 

Joizuz, Mary! No one wants to see that!!!! How can someone be so skinny and yet still so beefy?

 

 

Good play, Far!

 

Good, Derf. More of the same, please!

Nice interaction with Josie, Derfie.

What a cutie patootie!

 

 

If only the brothers could really interact, but Joachim takes his wife's side in Discipline-Gate. Fred doesn't take anyone's side.

 

If I didn't know better, I'd think Fred has a thing for his little lookalike!

 

Very nice! Ha, look at Niko's floppy shoe sole. Total teenager.

 

 

Wonder if this is one of Henrik's outdoor sculptures?

 

 

Far's weird shark tattoo. Wonder if his sons are also doomed to look like hardened sailors when they're men?

"Where the hell is your grandfather? I'm about to fall asleep!"

 

Out for the marching band's parade!

 

They must be playing some really groovy tunes this year!

 

Something about poor Josie's shot putter posture here that reminds of thissie.

 

"Far, make them play Jerry Garcia or Zeppelin like you play for us!"

 

 

So, were Izzy and Herr Xian in th eswimming pool between garden photies and the band? Why didn't the twins or other children (also with dry hair) take a dip? Different nannies, different treats?

 

Poor Felix! Creepy Auntie Mary loves to sneak up on him and his brother from behind! Eeek!

 

"One last shot of my sexy shoulder, boys! I'm sending this one to Mr. Bach!"

 

See you next summer! We'll be working on all sorts of great new surprises for you!
