The one and only my royals!
...
The Danish state visit to Sweden has officially kicked off, and three dazzling royal brooches were in attendance at the official welcome ceremony at the Royal Palace in Stockholm. King Frederik X and Queen Mary
Danish royals Prince Frederik and his sons got in the mood for their country's huge World Cup clash with Australia after being snapped enjoying a kickabout ahead of the big game.
Ziggy's a beautiful dog! Happy Birthday, Prince Christian. Sorry your mummy's such a crap photographer. She has no idea how to use light, or to make her subjects relaxed and have fun. Oh well, you did your duty to sit for her. You and your sister Josephine are definitely the most Donaldson of all the children. Good luck with that. Listen to Daddy when he's not passed out, and try not to worry too much as you look more and more like your grandpappy Professor Jock 'Half-Mast' Boganson. Just be thankful for the mathematical gifts and plan a career that focuses your energy on engineering or genetics or whatever field you think would be a good match for your special skills. There are plenty of jobs out there where you can stay in a lab or classroom and not have to interact too much. Hang out with Izzy and her friends. Try not to get too blinded by all the freebies that come your way. There's too much of that going on. Have a great birthday and enjoy Australia! Stay away from Auntie Amber. I mean, be nice to her now, but stay away as you get older. You already have too many bad influences in your life, why take on more?
