Prince Joachim and Princess Marie are attending the 2025 Invictus Games, a multisport event taking place in Vancouver, Canada, on February 14 and 15, 2025. On February 14, the Prince and Princess attended a meeting with the rowing team, where they greeted the rowers and observed part of their training. Later in the afternoon, the Prince and Princess visited the volleyball team, meeting the players and closely following their preparations.
During their visit, the Prince and Princess watched the training sessions of several Danish veterans representing Denmark at the Games. The Invictus Games 2025 are currently being held in Vancouver and Whistler, Canada, bringing together veterans from around the world in various sports disciplines. The Invictus Games were founded by Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and were first held in 2014.
Prince Joachim and Princess Marie are looking well. Life in Washington is suiting them. Though I do miss seeing Princess Marie’s sunny disposition at events.

Love it. There are so many ways they continue to represent Denmark!!
ReplyDeleteSag ich es doch, man kann die beiden in alles stecken sie sehen einfach wunderbar aus. Diese Bilder strahlen eine Dynamik durch sie aus, die natürliche Schönheit von innen nach außen. -Dorothe-
ReplyDeleteEine sehr zutreffende Beschreibung.
DeleteA beautiful princess and a very pleasant prince. With their hearts in the right place, the two support their veterans. This family is always a pleasure to see.

So true. Both Prince Joachim + Princess Marie, are there to Support both Denmark, the Veterans+Service Men+Women from the Danish Services & are representing their Monarch, King Frederik X & Queen Mary of Denmark. It is refreshing to see two mature, loyal Royals, who have made a choice to live their own life, without disrespecting their Royal Family+Country. Such a shame that the Royal who is representative of The Invictus Games+his wife, Harry+Meghan, haven't looked towards the Danes as Role Models. Joachim+Marie are with the Competitors, wearing the Danish Invictus Uniform + not putting on exaggerated PDA's. Thanks P.J + P.M for being there
Delete@PollyAnna Your name does not suit you. Pity you had to go where others haven't by tainting the good that Harry has done with the creation of the Invictus Games. Try finding the good in this. Not every situation needs the negatively biased comments.
DeletePollyAnna,
DeleteUnfortunately, you cannot compare the two directly. The Danish Royal Family, Danish people and Danish press have been far more kind to Joachim and Marie than the British have been to Harry and Meghan.
It's a shame that you use this wonderful moment of Joachim and Marie to judge and criticize Harry and Meghan.
Dear Pollyanna, fair comment. I’m very sorry to see someone criticising your name here, that’s a low blow and uncalled for. We can discuss a subject and share opinions without criticising another’s name/person.
DeleteAnon 19.47 While the Danish Royals have generally had a more private, lower-profile public life, Harry and Meghan have dealt with unique pressures, particularly from the British press. Their decision to step back and pursue a different path created a lot of media attention. The differences in how the two couples have been handled by the press and the public can be quite complex, and both sides have faced their own sets of challenges.
DeletePollyAnna, this is selective remembrance. First, Harry and Meghan wanted to continue to work after they moved but weren't allowed. Second, Harry followed in his parents' footsteps, who both were open about the royal family, the press, and the court. Charles even outed his parents as bad, cold, distant parents. His father was even a bully. And Joachim and Marie has been publicly open criticising Queen Margrethe, and we know he and Frederik haven't been close for decades. There is tension that regularly spill over. And then we have Mary and Marie...so please. We see what we want to see. Isn't it time to stop?
DeleteMarie and Joachim show the way in taking space from intense royal life while still maintaining support for their country and people. They navigate this elegantly. I always appreciate seeing them here!
ReplyDeleteWell said, Anonymous 10:35!
DeleteThe difference is these two are supported by the royal house. Versus the no support and lack of maturity of the PoW. I am not a MM fan per se but
DeleteThe brothers should negotiate a truce. This would give them a huge foot forward
Both brothers may lack maturity. No one knows what really happened as we only have their very different sides. Hope they can work it out eventually.
DeleteIt’s so nice to see Marie and Joachim…lovely couple who seem very much in synch!
Anon 16:56. I’m perplexed by your comment about the immaturity of PoW. Have we forgotten how every conversation between the two brothers has been detailed in the press,usually via Omid Scobie or Gayle King or Oprah or Tom Bradbury or even Anderson Cooper! Let’s not forget Netflix and Spare!Always given by harry and meghan!So I understand wholeheartedly why you wouldn’t trust a family member to keep things private!!
DeleteWilliam and Charles have far more pressing issues closer to home,than whether or not to chance having a non private chat with the Sussex’s! JMO
Anon 16.56, are they tho? Didn’t the queen of Denmark strippe them and their children of their titles in 2022? Maybe Charles can ”support” H+M by doing the same.
Delete@Anon 6:38 The children were demoted from prince/princess to count/countess. Joachim and Marie still have their titles. Margarethe felt it was better for the future of the monarchy to keep the prince/princess titles to the children of the heir.
DeleteAnon 15.08 And no one called Oprah.
DeleteI just can make it out what the Prince of Wales has got to do with the Invictus Games and the Danish Veterans portrayed on this post?
DeleteIt seems like someone has the usual slick at diverting from the main topic just to raise turmoil.
In addition , it Is paradoxical to bring in a lack of maturity, don't you think so, @Anonymous 16:56?
17:09, but Joachim and Marie went out into the press criticising the Queen, but I guess that's quite alright. After all, it wasn't to Oprah....
DeleteAnon 17:09 - Joachim was approached by reporters and gave a nature and honest answer. He didn’t sell his family out to the highest bidder. Then lie about what went on. They said their piece and moved to the US, where you don’t hear a peep from them!
DeleteQuand je vois ces photos, je ressens le désir de voir plus souvent ce couple très charmant sur le sol danois !
ReplyDeleteWow, what a pleasure to see P.Joachim and Pss Marie again!
ReplyDeleteI really like this royal couple.
Wonderful! The athletes must be thrilled to have their support. They are a lovely couple and they represent Denmark so well.
ReplyDeletePrince Harry went to prince Joachim to say "Hello", so nice of him!
ReplyDeleteYup PH is a very decent guy and they know each other so why not. They are there for the athletes not who gets credit for it.
DeletePrince Harry and Prince Joachim know each other well. PJ has supported IG since PH founded it.
DeleteFrom Joann: I wonder if Joachim and Marie are actually taking a break from royal life or are they doing what they are assigned. Maybe Denmark has a different way of defining who are the "senior" working royals, so their involvement in Denmark wouldn't be needed as much. Prince Joachim is working at the Danish Embassy in Washington and their assignments may be arranged by the Danish government. Of course, a Danish poster would be able to provide some clarity on this.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they went on their own because they like to support Denmark’s military, since he was once in the military. The Invictus games are not about royals but about the wounded soldiers.
DeleteA throne-adjacent couple who look like they are truly happy to be there. Engaged and enthusiastic and only looking at the camera when required. On a fashion note, red and white are very favorable colors for Marie. Lucky for her she's Danish!
ReplyDeleteIt’s always a pleasure to see Prince Joachim and Princess Marie representing their country and supporting their veterans. You have to admire how Joachim and Marie transferred to Washington from Paris,after the family fallout over their children’s titles. They’ve just got on with their lives,with such dignity and maturity.
ReplyDeleteLowri.
Totally agree Lowri. They handled their no doubt extreme disappointment (and shock) elegantly, without calling in Oprah!!!
Delete12:32 and still..https://ekstrabladet.dk/underholdning/kongelige/danskekongelige/nu-reagerer-prins-joachim-mine-boern-er-gjort-fortraed/9447865
DeleteThey are lovely!Also nice to see Harry.
ReplyDeleteI must say, both Prince and Pss are looking great. I like their support for the Veterans. These two are a class-act.
