As someone on another forum stated, it's a bit ironical that there seems to be a ten day celebration of Fred's 50th birthday by the Royal House and yet he has performed less than ten public engagements in this month.
I know little Denmark doesn't demand a great deal of its royal family but I can't help musing that if the Queen had decided on days and days of private celebrations with her family and friends for her 50th the British newspapers, even in those far more deferential days, would have been beside themselves and there would have been hell to pay.

You have a point. The Danes do like their celebrations. I personally found the multitude of banquets and parties for Marguerites' 75th a bit much. Maybe because it is such a popular and old monarchy, they can get away with it. Plus they do not have the rapid tabloids like in the UK.

Will the BRF be sending anyone to even part of this ten day celebration of Fred's 50th birthday? Answer: Probably not! Same old story.

More's the pity. The European royals bend forwards and backwards to attend British events but it is never reciprocated. I can understand QEII and DOE now that they are old. Perhaps even Charles because he is busy and his current wife hates flying but surely W, H, M and C could visit. When they really must go, they send Edward and Sophie which is pretty much equal to a snub since they are so far down the line of succession it seems like an oversight.

Edward and Sophie are the usual guests/representatives at the continental events, but I don't see anything yet about either of them attending anything. Both have a reception at BP in 5/24. British monarchy site is not showing anything for them being in Copenhagen.

Sophie did attend Harald and Sonja's 80th birthday celebrations, so it is possible that she's the designated guest if they send someone.

I'd be surprised if the Dutch and Belgians do not attend. Spain's attendance seems to depend upon the "nation's mood." Things seem rather unsettled IMO and both have events for the 26th as noted in the article.

Yes @sara8150- The Danes and Swedes are close cousins and they're good friends with the Norwegian royals.

The Danish RF really love commissioning portraits of themselves. There have been group affairs featuring the whole family with an artist who adopted a 'Children of the Corn' style, ones of Henrik, Daisy, and Christian by themselves and now some new portraits showing Fred and Mary. Daisy probably thought 'I'll have a portrait painted of my son for this monumental birthday and throw my daughter in law into the mix as well. Original thought!

@Curryong-Just don't select that "Flowers in the Attic" or "Children of the Corn" artist!! :P

BTW Belgians and Dutch have  confirmed their attendance at the birthday celebrations. No word on a BRF attendee.

I would carefully avoid that particular artist TLLK under all circumstances,  :D but seriously, Daisy and her family have a positive mania for seeing themselves immortalised on canvas. I wonder whether it's Henri's influence!

I quite like this photo. Fred has always been quite baby-faced and not shown his age, IMO. However over the last couple of years the greying of his hair and beard have given him a bit of gravitas. Hope he enjoys the celebrations.

Btw, no British royals at the birthday celebrations even though the Scandis and some European royals have gathered in Denmark. Again, complete contempt for other royal Houses by the BRF, in my view.

Glad to see that Countess Alexandra is still invited to these milestone family events.

Yes, her elder son was also present.  I took a look at quite a few accounts of Fred's birthday and it was a very happy occasion for all concerned. Queen Daisy too was in high spirits and Mary's speech to her husband was very much admired.

A place to post about family birthdays, personal anniversaries and other milestones.


Happy Birthday to Prince Felix of Denmark who was born 18 years ago to Prince Joachim and his former wife Princess Alexandra now the Countess of Fredericksburg.

Handsome royal celebrates his milestone 18th birthday - see new photos | HELLO!

QuoteThe Danish royal court shared in the Instagram post that Prince Felix will celebrate his milestone birthday privately with family and friends. The prince is currently eighth-in-line to the Danish throne after Prince Nikolai. Their grandmother, Queen Margrethe, is Denmark's current monarch and her heir is Prince Joachim's older brother Crown Prince Frederik.

Nice photo of Prince Felix surrounded by his father, mother, stepmother, brother and half siblings. Photo was taken at the Danish royal family's private estate in France.
