Danish Crown Prince family is spending 2022 summer holiday in their summer redisence in Skagen. Skagen is Denmark's northernmost town located on the east coast of the Skagen Odde peninsula in the far north of Jutland.
Their holiday home is within a short walking distance to the beach. The summer holiday in Skagen was something very special this year for Crown Princess Mary. From Australia, her older brother John came to Skagen together with his family and they are spending the holiday together.
Nice pic's of the family on holiday. css
ReplyDeleteSo happy CP Mary could have some of her family join her and her family for a holiday. She is fabulously fit too!

Looks like it is not very warm there! I hope they spend wonderful holidays anyway.
ReplyDeleteWater temperature in Skagen today (31 July) is 18°C. A bit frisky for swimming. But much better than winter when the average water temperature is 5°C.
DeleteIt is a shame that they can’t have some privacy, at least during their summer holiday.
ReplyDeleteI agree! Some years ago when they were in Australia my husband an I came across the Crown Princes and Princess running on the beach. They looked so happy together. I would never have thought to take a picture it was private time for them. However someone took one because it ended up in a magazine! Jennifer j
DeleteOne can always avoid to call photographers.... Or you live on the moon?
DeleteAnonymous 09:23! No I don't live on the moon, such a comment as yours does nothing but send mean spirit. Jennifer j
DeleteWere these pictures officially published (as those of the three royal sisters) or were they taken by journalists near their private residence (with or without consent??), in which case I think they should not be published.
ReplyDeleteI think they are very aware that they are being photographed. Each summer same procedure.

DeleteThat is the price you have to pay when you are famous. On the one hand they are looking happy when they are photographed during their official duties and on the other hand when they are with family at a beach they should not be disturbed. I think in Scandinavia they don't care being seen in their swimming suits, besides there is nothing that the public should not see. In Sweden they are photographed too when they go to every concert in their region. In Norway they have Märtha Louise who is stealing the show by showing herself on Instagram. So who are we to bother what they are doing. It is their concern not ours.
Anon 8.03.well said. And remember that they dont do it gratis et amore
DeleteHow lovely that the Royal family are able to spend quality time at the holiday home. CP Mary's brother visiting from Australia - splendid.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I have read it appears Prince Frederik likes Mary’s family a lot as he enjoys their simple,unpretentious and relaxed lifestyle.
DeleteFashion wise, it certainly is dress down beach wear days.
Happy holiday to them all.
I also love and appreciate that they maintain these family connections without fuss or bother or status issues. It's also so important for all the children in all the families on both sides to know who their cousins are, and to learn about how important family can be. We see this on Frederik's side with Joachim's kids who are geographically closer, and now lovely to see it with Mary's brother John and his family.
DeleteSadly, I seem to know far too many people who have toxic relationships with their families and who often end up being alone and sometimes bitter with the world. A loving family community can make a big difference in one's outlook on life.

ReplyDeleteMary used to wear bikinis but since the twins were born she only wears bathing suits maybe because she knows she is being photographed each summer when vacating in Skagen.
ReplyDelete@ anon. 08:00 - When you wish to take a swim in the sea, this type of bathing suit is recommended in certain places in the world. It is to protect yourself against some sea plants or little animals that are living in the water near the beaches. It protects also very good against sunburn and maybe they where on their way back from a boat trip.
DeleteBelles photos de famille ; il faut lui souhaiter de magnifiques vacances !
ReplyDeleteFoto simpatiche di una famiglia in vacanza che vorrebbe un po' di normalità e di privacy. Le ferie sono sacre per tutti!
ReplyDeleteRossella
Basta non chiamare i fotografi, e hai tutta la privacy che vuoi... ;)
DeleteAnd whilst on the all important subject of family holidays, Queen Maxima and her family seem to have disappeared off the radar screen.
ReplyDelete@ deadeggs 12:45 - Like every summer holidays the Dutch Royal Family agree to take pictures BEFORE the holidays begin. They are in their villa in Greece and photographers are not allowed on the water and near the villa were they stay.
DeleteRemember that they have a longstanding deal with the press about no photos during their private time (such as vacations) in exchange for the annual early summer photo shoot that they do each year. just for the press. I too miss them a lot, but respect their privacy.

Any comments on fashion??
ReplyDeleteIf there was any fashion to comment on...
DeleteOK.... nice use of towels. :))

Go ahead if you have some fashion comment. I am not sure fashion should be an absolute obsession.
DeleteOh, yes, sorry @Anon 31/7/22 14:57. Fashion ........... got off the track didn't we :-(
DeletePrincess Mary's cut off wet suit looks great and is the right choice for the occasion. Prince Frederik's beach shorts are bright and gay and again, right for the occasion. Love the beach towels.
I am very proud of our Australian born Crown Princess Mary. She has acclimated to the Danish lifestyle, culture, language on top of coping with the rigours, protocols + traditions that come with being a member of any Royal family. The fact that CP Mary had to learn an entirely new way of living, not just becoming a Royal, speaks volumes to her dedication, commitment + love of + for Prince Frederick. I enjoy reading about their four delightful children, all of whom are grounded, stable, confident youngsters. I watched an interview of the family a while back + the children were sharing anecdotes about the mothers mishaps with the Danish language nuances at times. They find it hilarious with how she pronounces certain words due to her Australian accent. The family seems to be down to earth with their relationships. I love that the Queen thinks highly of CP Mary too. It’s wonderful that CP Mary’s family of origin are able to spend time with her, especially going on a Sumner holiday together. John + his family have a great bond with Mary + Frederick + family. Mary’s parents, both Scottish born, with her mother Henrietta an executive assistant to the vice-chancellor of Uni of Tasmania + her father, Professor John Donaldson, Prof of Mathematics, raised their 4 children mostly in Tasmania but also in Houston, Texas. Jane, Patricia, John + Mary. She is an intelligent woman with a double degree-Bachelor of Commerce + Bachelor of Law + Certificates in Advertising + Marketing, plus plays several musical instruments - piano, flute, clarinet + has managed to master the Danish language. She has achieved quite a bit, not withstanding over 30 Charities plus being very sporty - basketball, hockey + since being a CP has learnt horse riding, becoming an avid equestrian competing in several dressage events. I don’t think I’ve read of any controversy that she has been involved in + her children thus far have escaped scandalous slander. Given their eldest child P.Christian was in attendance at a Danish Boarding school for a year until they found out there was recurring allegations of bullying, violence + sexual abuse it was decided to remove him from there + as such Mary + Frederick have taken up the challenge to fight bullying in schools. With school starting back soon, hopefully wherever Christian + Isabella end up, will be a better environment for their needs. As long as the entire family enjoy their summer holiday then it will make going back to school more positive.
