When are King Frederik and Queen Mary moving?

Queen Mary, 52, King Frederik, 55, and their four children will soon have to pack their bags. Although the royal family has not yet officially announced it, Danish media and royalty experts have no doubts that the family will once again move their residence to Fredensborg Castle for the summer months this year. “If tradition goes, the royal couple and their children will also move to Fredensborg this spring and summer,” says Marianne Singer, royal expert for the newspaper Billed-Bladet.

The couple has their summer residence in the castle north of Copenhagen. They normally reside in the so-called Chancellor’s House during these weeks, but it is not yet known whether they will also use this in their new role as King and Queen of Denmark. “We don’t know what will happen now that they have become a royal couple – whether they will use the castle itself more. But now we are also in the situation where we have a Queen Margrethe who has decided to abdicate, and she still has a close relationship with Fredensborg Castle,” Singer explains.

Grand Duchess Maria Teresa publishes photo of Princess Alexandra’s private wedding party

Actually, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa, 68, just wanted to congratulate her husband, Grand Duchess Henri of Luxembourg, on his 69th birthday. But in the picture gallery that she published on Instagram with the words “Happy birthday to my extraordinary husband,” there is also a beautiful picture from the wedding celebration of her daughter Princess Alexandra, 33.

The only daughter of the Grand Duke couple is currently in different circumstances. In December, the Grand Duchy announced that Alexandra and her husband Nicolas Bagory would become parents for the first time. A few months earlier, on April 22, 2023, the couple exchanged vows in the town hall of Luxembourg City. A week later, their church wedding followed in the wonderfully romantic town of Bormes-les-Mimosas on the French Riviera, where Catherine’s brother, Princess of Wales, 42, also got married.

Numerous photos were then released in front of the Saint-Trophyme church, where Princess Alexandra and her Nicolas were married. There have been no public recordings of the private wedding party that evening. That is now changing because Grand Duchess Maria Teresa has published a picture that shows her dancing with her husband. Also on the dance floor in the background: Alexandra and her then new husband. The special evening was almost exactly a year ago to the day. What a beautiful memory!

King Charles + Queen Camilla: This is how they spent their 19th wedding anniversary

On April 9, 2024, King Charles, 75, and Queen Camilla, 76, celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary. In a down-to-earth yet romantic way, they celebrated their continued marital bliss at the place where they spent their honeymoon – they traveled to Birkhall on the Balmoral estate in Aberdeenshire.

Charles and Camilla’s Scottish retreat, described by friends as their “marital home,” according to Britain’s Hello, is the place where they can truly relax together, spending time with Her Majesty’s rescue dogs, Beth and Bluebell , go for a walk, enjoy the garden and read and paint.

Annabel Elliot, 75, Queen Camilla’s sister, raved about their relationship last year. “They’re really like yin and yang. They’re the complete opposite of each other. But it works fantastically. She’s his rock and I can’t stress that enough. She’s someone who’s completely loyal and not someone who’s looking for great heights and depths.” Steady, loyal and supportive – qualities that the king greatly values ​​in his wife.

Nicholas from Romania shares cute photo of his son

The son of ex-Prince Nicholas of Romania, 39, has grown up quite a bit! This is shown in a sweet new birthday photo from little son Mihai on Instagram. In the photo, the two-year-old blonde boy is smiling into the camera with his big brown eyes. He poses with a checked shirt for the festive occasion. His father, now called Nicholas Medforth-Mills, and his wife Alina Maria Binder can hardly believe the leap their little son has already made.

They wrote about the cute snapshot: “2 years… We don’t know how quickly it has passed, but in the 2 years you have brought us a lot of joy. Happy birthday, Mihai!” In addition to their son Mihai, Nicholas from Romania and his Alina also have daughter Maria-Alexandra, 4, who was born in November 2020.

Nicholas of Romania already has a daughter from a previous relationship. This circumstance caused a scandal in 2015 and cost him the royal title. The alleged reason: The child was born out of wedlock. Only after a DNA test did the former number three in line to the Romanian throne acknowledge paternity in 2019. However, the royal family has never officially confirmed that this is why Prince Nicholas of Romania became Nicholas Medforth-Mills.

Princess Alexandra enjoys a tennis weekend with Ben-Sylvester Strautmann

The last weekend in Monaco was all about tennis. On April 13th and 14th, 2024, the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters entered the hot phase and were able to look forward to royal support. At the semi-finals on Saturday, Prince Albert, 66, and Princess Alexandra of Hanover, 24, were seen with her partner Ben-Sylvester Strautmann, 25, and on the final day the couple also joined in the excitement with some members of the royal family.

But no matter how exciting the matches were, the daughter of Caroline von Hannover, 67, and her lover couldn’t keep their eyes off each other. In photos taken during the semi-finals and the final, Alexandra and Ben-Sylvester repeatedly smile at each other in love and whisper to each other.

Princess Alexandra and Ben-Sylvester Strautmann have officially been a couple for seven years now. During the French Ligue 1 championship match between AS Monaco and AS Saint-Etienne at Stade Louis II on May 17, 2017 in Monaco the princess made her love for Strautmann public. The then 17-year-old appeared deeply in love with her lover and, contrary to royal protocol, repeatedly cuddled up against the strong shoulders of the attractive millionaire’s son.
