  • Chapter Xxxiv ­ Our Denmark Adventure
    Chapter XXIV – Our Denmark Adventure CHAPTER XXXIV ­ OUR DENMARK ADVENTURE Anita and me at Castle in Denmark Two years earlier Anita and I were passengers on a wonderful cruise that took us from Dover, England to most of the Baltic Capitols and then south to the Mediterranean and finally ending in Athens, Greece. From Athens, we flew back to Copenhagen, Denmark for a week’s stay before flying back home to Houston. Our first visit to Copenhagen was primarily to do genealogy research. Anita had discovered an organization called “Friends Overseas” and through their help, we met a wonderful couple, Ole and Else Frederiksen. Ole and Else invited us into their home for an authentic Danish meal, took us touring all over the City of Copenhagen and helped us in our genealogical quest. Our good fortune was to continue for on our fourth day in Copenhagen, Anita had been lucky enough to make contact with one of her second cousins, who lived in a small village just north of the city. Thanks to the modern miracle of email, our friendships with Ole and Else and Anita’s cousins have flourished. A year after our visit to Denmark, Ole and Else came to Houston. They had planned to spend a week with us and a week in New Orleans. We were having so much fun together that they decided to spend the entire two weeks with us. Our first visit to Denmark had given us a wonderful feel for Copenhagen but left us hungry to see the rest of the country.

  • The Royal House of Denmark 2008 Summary the 2008 Annual Report for the Royal House of Denmark Is the Fifth Since 2004
    Annual report | The Royal House of Denmark 2008 Summary The 2008 annual report for the Royal House of Denmark is the fifth since 2004. Reflecting the Court’s desire to keep the public informed, the report describes the duties and functions of the Danish Monarchy, key events during the year, and selected themes relating to The Royal Family. The themes in this year’s report spotlight The Royal Family’s work to promote Danish industry and culture internationally, the New Year levees, and the tradition of inscribing signatures on the windows of Fredensborg Palace. During 2008 members of The Royal Family undertook numerous official visits abroad, spearhead- ing industrial and cultural campaigns focused on Denmark, or helping to raise awareness of humanitarian organisations for which they are patrons. The Queen and The Prince Consort performed two state visits, one early in 2008 to Mexico, and one late in the year to Tanzania. At home in Denmark, The Royal Family made three summer cruises by the Royal Yacht Dannebrog, two with The Queen and The Prince Consort on board, the third with The Crown Prince and The Crown Princess accompanied by their children Prince Christian and Princess Isabella. The major family event in 2008 was the occasion of the wedding of Prince Joachim and Princess Marie on 24th May. The ceremony, which took place in Møgeltønder Church, was followed at close hand by several thousand people, including some 500 representatives of the Danish and international press. A private celebration was held afterwards in Schackenborg Castle. In spring 2008 a new three-year agreement was established between the Court and the Association of Court Employees.
