Talk amongst yourselves
While Hester and I continue to cook the juicy Thanksgiving turkey that has been the crown princely holiday to Oz along with the ensuing ægtepagt news and Amber-sighting, why don't you all help yourselves to a drink and get cosy in the living room and catch up with each other. We'll all be around the table again in no time!
PS. If you're looking for the gin, it's in the kitchen with us..."never cook sober" has been a Cece & Hester motto from early on!

This so-called Thanks-giving Turkey visit has provided an excellent opportunity for some careful research into the Internet activities of our Crownprincely couple.Poster content , Interaction of members in R & B & ‘Danish Royal watchers’ means you don’t have to be Einstein to determine who the posters really are and their motives.
Yes KENDRA , the F&M Media machine travelled all the way to Sydney ( Cattle Class of course ) to post all of the Holiday highlights
within an hours completing a tour or being photographed interacting with the locals. If this truly is the “ Vida Loca ” we are dished up, its no wonder the latest Post-Nup details have been leaked. When media coverage is slow its very easy to throw some petrol on the fire and boost ratings.
The dream, “ Crazy Girl “ looks more like a Fractured Fairytale
Diogenes - Welcome to the club. Its much warmer and far more wittier here..and no censorship!!
Like Dr. Seuss said : "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind"
Hope you can stay for a while. The turkey dinner that Cece and Hes are cooking up now promises to be very tasty.
Woman's Day refers to Frederik as a nervous, undersocialised stutterer this week - saying Joachim is quick-witted and always with a ready quip, and slating Mary for not leaving more of a gap between her babies. It's a four-page article with a lot to say about Denmark's 'betrayal' of Mary. The golden tupperware party is over for Mary and the steak knives are out!!!
Are we sure Amber's BF is a Maori? From the muu-muu she was wearing on the boat, she has designs on the Tongan throne! And it looks as though Mary responded to Cece's 'stumpy' pic on this blog with an instruction to Amber to look short, squat, and with hair occupied by rats nests, so as to deflect some attention from Her Faux-Hirsuteness.
Diog, great to have you here! Very glad you're here.
And Diog, what you say about M having to sign a new pre-nup because she was planning buying property in Oz makes perfect sense. I think the poor sod has no power about where she's going in her life.
Can you gals scan the Woman's Day article and post it here so the rest of us can read it?
I'll just pour another drink while I'm waiting for thr turkey, - can I get you another Diogenes, - more ice Leesa.......such a congenial milieu in 'ere!
Must admit, I thought Mares had given Amber the elbow, but apparently not, have they still got lots in common, or is she her one and only best friend, or just the only friend?
found this article in Women's Day and there isn't a link to it so i'm sorry about that becouse it's in the magazine only dated 4th December 2006
Mary will be taking time out of her holiday to go in search of her own slice of the Apple Isle. And locals are delighted at the prospect of their princess laying down roots on Aussie soil.
Mary has dreamt of having her own home Down Under a place where she can share with her children the magical ways of her own childhood, and escape from the stifling demands of royal protocol. It would be wonderful to own a little piece of Tasmania Mary says.
I miss my nieces and nephews to see them grow up and I miss the weekends away with freinds along the coast or on the water. I miss Austrlia's beauty and the funny personalities but most of all family and friends.
According to Bevan Williams from Salamanca Realty, which specialises in prestige properties, mary will be spoilt for choice. There are definitely properties here in Hobart that are highly suitable for royalty Bevan says. He suggested Mary look at Battery Point, with outstanding river views right on the finish line of the Sdyney to Hobart Yacht race. Bevan who has know the Donaldson's for many years said he'd be very proud to be mary's Estate agent.
What she's achieved is outstanding he says. Tasmania is very proud to have an ambassador like she is . She's a natural.
What do You all think?????
About the Woman's Day article; I'll get the mag and will post it here for others.
When are you going to write your version of the reasons for the pre-nup revision? Can't wait to read it!!! Please hurry!!!!!!!

Looks like they already have house in Tas, NI has photo of property as well, in this weeks issue..
This article can be found inside this week's new idea issued december 9th 2006 here is the link www.newidea.com.au
Princess Mary is making her dream come true, she has found the perfect paradise palace on her home soil.
Princess Mary has secured a secret beach hideway in a former convict settlement on Tasmania's east coast to ensure her son Christian has a taste of a true blue aussie childhood. And the retreat where the kingroo will holiday couldn't be further away from the palace he calls home.
It's a humble 80,000$ corrugated irn and wood kit home and his aunt Jane Stephens has built at Orford, 73km east of hobart. Neighbours confirm Jane has personally overseen the construction of the home during the past nine months in preparation for princess mary's homecoming.
It really is just a simple kit home, but it has sensational views over spring beach, explains one local, who says villagers are ecstatic at the prospect of regular royal vists. She may be the future queen of denmark but tasmainian born princess mary has secretly vowed that she and her children will always be aussies at heart.
In a heart to heart during their family holiday, pregnant mary told husband prince frederik that she desperately wants son christian and their unborn baby to stay in touch with their australia roots. And you couldn't get a more dinky di experince than holidaying in historic Orford, which began as a convict settlement in 1825. Today there are just a few hundred people living in the hamlet on the mouth of the prosser river, but tourists flock to it to walk the old convict trail, fish or just enjoy the pristine beaches.
The hideaway will allow mary's children to experince the kind of idyllic upbringing mary herself enjoyed. Mary's trip down under was her first with 13 month old prince christian, who's been nicknamed kingroo becouse of his royal and australian connections. The tot is destined to become denmark's king after frederik. Sources say that bringing little christian home to australia has given mary mixed emtions and made her more determined than ever not to let her children lose sight of their australian heritage.
Mary so enjoyed being around her sisters and their children again, a source close to the princess reveals. They've always been close but know that mary has a child of her own her bond with them is even stronger. Christian adored being around his aunties and cousins, and mary couldn't help but feel a little sad that they can't be together as a family more often.Mary spent the first few days of her trip relaxing at her sister jane stephens home in west hobart, where she, jane and older sister patrica caught up on lost time.
Chritian was a big hit with his cousins including patrica;s daughter maddison 11, and jane's girls erin10 and kate 9. The family visted the salamanca markets, where casually dressed mary looked like any other mum as she pushed around christian's stroller. The family also visted bonorong wildlife park where christian met koalas, wallabies and other native wildlife. When she left tasmania for melbourne, mary proved she's still a down to earth aussie.
Rather than fly first class or by privete jet, she opted for budget airline jetstar and mingled with other passengers in the cabin as christian played on the floor. Spending time with her family has made mary realise how much she's missing out on. Now she's a mum, mary appreciates how nice it is to be close to family another freind explains. She felt so proud seeing christian playing with his cousins and being part of a bigger family unit. She also feels it's important for christian and the new baby to have a sense of what it is to be australian. mary is sports mad and she'd like her kids to be able to cheer on australia in the rugby and experince the kind of fun and canaraderie that were part of growing up for her.
Mary wants him to be able to appreciate the simple things in life, like the beach and riding horses. And she belives that being part australian will help give christan a down to earth approach when he's king. Frederik completely understands her feelings and agrees that the children should stay true to their australian heritage, as well as their danish heritage her fred says.
Last year mary and frederik said they had looked into buying a home in tasmania. It would be wonderful to own a little piece of Tasmania. Pehaps something up the coast mary said. I'm missing my nieces and nephews growing up and miss weekends away with freinds up the coast or on the water. I miss the beauty of australia and it's funny personalities, the old run from bronte to bondi but the main thing is my family and freinds.
Even before christian was born, mary spoke of her hopes that her children would know abouther australian roots. I think it will be very important for them to have a feeling and understanding of where i'm from she said. I think actually the danes and australians have a very similar values, so i don't think we have many conflicts there in bringing up our children. Sources say Christmas will be particularly poignant for mary as she, frederik and christian celebrate the festivites thousands of kilometers from the rest of her family. But if mary has her way our sources say, it hopefully won't be too long before she's back on aussie soil again.
Easy on the ice, please; hate to have me drink too diluted. - You're a bit low on the orange juice; will bring some along to mix with my Campari.
And have got that stupid mag here, so will scan it for others. Hang on...
Cece and Hester, have you two ever thought of creating a forum like RBHQ? If you search on Google, you can find offers on some free forums.
There's been talk/thought of a forum for a while...it's a challenge, isn't it, for still-members of rbhq to post their reservations about Prince Frou-frou and Prin-cess Mary without breaking the rules.... and witnessing the odious sequestering of M and W from ramifications. Cece is the only one here with the tech skills to run a forum and let's not underestimate the amount of work that would be involved! I mean, look what rb has done to the delightful N and LL - the strain is showing!
Okey doke, that article is here already, too. Good!
At this stage I'm confused about mags and what was where, but the link given below takes you to the latest and I've sent M crap in it to the gals. - I need more Campari.
http://womansday.ninemsn.com.au/
Can the posts on this thread be turned upsidowntown so that the latest comes up first? Just wondering.
sorry, leesa, sorry anony, I just lost two posts - it said they were publishing and then they didn't arrive! re turning the posts upside-down- I asked cece about that a while ago and I think she said 'nuh'! but not for want of trying...
Hester, you lost me here: "I mean, look what rb has done to the delightful N and LL - the strain is showing!"
Sorry to be so dense, but what does 'N and LL' mean?
Well, they're taking their time with the turkey baster, still it's nicer to hang here than in that haven of hypocrisy "RB", doble crenalleted castle of double standards with its own draconion polizei force!
Well, I feel like Jane getting impateint to see the end of Australian idol.
So allow me to get the ball rolling with ideas about the post-nup.
To me, this is really intriguing.
Do we all agree on 2 things :
1/ Marg had to sign off on it, whether or not she instigated ot ?
2/ There is mistrust in the air. Whether from DRF to Mrs Denmark, or the reverse, or both, there is not a lot of trust around.
If we agree to these basics, we can move forward, methinks...
Come on Aussie come on come on....read the rules of the FIRB and you'll see that she has had to have obtained a special exemption to have bought Australian property as a non-citizen and non-resident.
The FIRB must surely make known the special exemptions it makes.
Channel The RB Enforcers (only be intelligent) and demand that the FIRB account for itself:
BTW it's within the Treasury department ie Costello's department and he is no panderer to royalty...

Hi anony, N**** and L*** L...
Sorry about the slow roast folks, it's quite a process on top of FT work to create even a mini-diatribe!
It's possible that the property was purchased in her sister's name with a special side agreement between Mary and her sister.
"she opted for budget airline jetstar" - Is this an omen of things to come?
Marsupial, I think too that there's mistrust in the air and Marge has figured out what Mary is exactly made of. Which is not milk and honey. Marge knows MIL (excuse the abbreviation) would like to be a princess in Australia and not in some sodding Scandinavian country where her butt is frozen 3 quarters of the year. Marge knows Mrs Denmark doesn't want to hang around in that old lodge any longer than absolutely necessary.
Thanks all for your wonderful welcome! I'm glad to be here and will try to add some levity to the gathering.
Anyone else getting vibes that the house and the re-pre-nup are precoursers to a revision of the "marriage" or is it just wistful thinking on my part?
Hester and Cece, we can certainly wait while the creative juices buildup post Thanksgiving. It's well worth it, as this site is the most hilarious site ever created! A laugh a minute. Now that the majority of intelligent, witty posters have been given their walking papers it's become quite intolerable and boring at RB. A real yawnfest over there. Thanks for all your entertaining efforts thus far, keep it up!
p.s. gotta run to TARGET and get me a new SANTA hat!
I could have sworn I saw a comment left on this blog by Netty from RBHQ, but I no longer see it. Anyway, a few hours after reading the comment, it started me thinking. Perhaps the reason the RBHQ exists is to give the papers fodder. I don't think it's coincidence that some of the stories appearing in some of the papers are very similar to things being said in the forums.
I agree Anon...getting it purchased in her sister's name is the easy and hassle-free option.
The point is that doing so would inevitably have involved a transfer of funds form DK to TAS; her sister does not have the money herself.
Is it the put-upon Danish taxpayer footing the bill so Mary's sister can buy the place? Or Fred's stock portfolio being liquified?
Either of these scenarios can lead to the "hand in the cookie jar" moment that in tuen can lead to the post-nup.
In any event, surely people want to know how this land deal was possible both legally and financially.....
"Marge knows MIL" - What's MIL stand for?
Diogenes what exactly do you mean by "Anyone else getting vibes that the house and the re-pre-nup are precoursers to a revision of the "marriage" or is it just wistful thinking on my part?"
Do you mean divorce? Or?
I notice Lupina got banned over at RBHQ. Is it a permanent ban? I had a feeling her and Elena were one and the same. Additionally, I think I know her real identity, but won't comment in case I'm wrong.
Thank heven their back in Denmark??
Let's hope they stay out of OZ for a few years.

Stacey, I do think something like this is possible (htat Marg has her DIL'd number). Question : is Fred conscious...of that or of anything for that matter?
I also think that the leak that re-asserted DRF power last week HAD to have come with at least tacit permission from Marg/establishment/Hornet. I don't think these media types want to bite the hand that feeds them too much.
Conversely, I think all the damage control is just...hogwash. Are we to believe that the cost of the J/A divorce really took anyone by surprise, given that DRf have access to the best lawyers and financial advisors in the land?
And what about this nonsense that the first document wasn't legal or something...damage control! What! Can't Fred afford a lawyer after all, I mean we do know how desitute he is!!!
I disagree with anony, I don't think Lupina and Elena could possibly be the same!
I saw the damage control PR placement on the post-nuptial - too late! Horse bolted!
Hester, Elena had me fooled until her English got better almost overnight. Read some of her posts - some of the posts read like she could barely speak English and towards the end, she had mastered the English language quite well and almost overnight. Unless you know her real identity?
Explanation:
MIL= mother-in-law
DIL= daughter-in-law
Got a mix-up there!
I asked a friend of a friend who knows a psychic to ask her about Fred. Well, she said that she saw Fred as a Magician - a master of illusion, which means that nothing that we see about this man is true. Also, get this, he is very much attached to the brother, not the wife. Which I found very surprising. And - I thought this was funny - Joachim sees himself as James Bond. Must be all the sneaking around he has to do to get a date!!
Here's more info that my friend's psychic friend picked up about Fred and family:
Joachim's been in love with some woman for a long time. That's why he wasn't aware when Alexandra started playing with her boy toy while they were still married. Although Joachim never pursued the lady, he felt guilty about his feelings. That is why he was so benevolent to Alexandra upon their divorce. So, because the divorce was imminent, Fred was forced to marry Mary to avert too much attention on the upcoming scandal. The psychic thinks Fred does have affection for Mary but is not in love with her. She feels that once Fred finds the love of his life, he's going to drop Mary like a hot potato.
Please, please count me in as another refugee from the Double Dutch and Kenstone Koppery of Royal Pain HQ!
Check out the new definition on
www.urbandictionary.com:
Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark
Stumpy loser euro-royal who tried to hang out with Snoop Dogg in Copenhagen and got booted so more chicks would fit in the venue. Tried to bribe his way back into Snoop Dogg's circle by getting Danish security police to release Dogg's bag of weed. Also known for meekly following his butch wife, Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, around shopping centres, shopping for kids clothes.
"There he was, Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark, a man who should have had the world at his feet, trailing around with his bogan nieces and nephews in the boondocks of Hobart."
Marsupial, Fred doesn't know much anything except how to do a froggy jump. But Marge has definitely her DIL (doesn't it just sound like a leafy herb?) sussed out.
Diogenes and I think it was leesa who said that the pre-nup change and trip down under were no a coincidence. Marge knows what's brewing.
Leesa, just noticed you got banned on RB. Is it a permanent ban? Or will you be back soon?
Eliza
Stacey, was the trip down under payback to Mary for being a good girl and signing? Or did they go down under to avoid the storm that broke out?
Excerpt from the Woman's Day article: I miss my nieces and nephews to see them grow up and I miss the weekends away with friends along the coast or on the water. I miss Austrlia's beauty and the funny personalities but most of all family and friends.
Although I know this excerpt from the artice cannot be called an interview but it sounds much the same as what Alexandra was saying in her last interview right before she and Joachim divorced.
Well, supposidly(according to SE og HØR) Marie and Joachim are back together..though it's possible they never split.
wonder how mary feels about this?
Stacey - thanks for that. I agree. I wonder whether Marge only now is getting the light dawning on her about her DIL or whether she had reservations form the get-go but pushed for it anyway because of Fred's general cluelessness and the impending divorce of J + A.
I think Marg is ruthless and if I were in her bad books, given all her "soft" power, I woud not be resting easy at night.....Xn's nighttime awakenings would be easy to handle in comparison!!
Eliza, my ban goes till Dec 16 at 10 pm Oz time, and as far as I'm concerned, that's all history. I think Toni is excellent and honest, and never two-faced, which I appreciate. But I'll be staying off anyway. Have still not been given a reason for the ban, but I think I know what it is. I'll stay here in this company, for sure.
Eliza, to continue; I think the reason is that I do not like Mary but do like this place. That's all there needs to be for a reason for them. They also censored my signature which does not break any of the frigging rules they are making left, right and centre.
All rubbish in that shop.
Hester's muse has escaped her....she's trying to catch it this weekend....
Have you seen the new photo of Fred, Christian and Margrethe? Fred doesn't look to good to me - marriage is not good for his looks.
Maria, his current marriage is like a coffin to him, that's why he looks the way he does. Also, since they're doing predictions at Royal Blue and this prediction would not be well received there, I thought I would do it here: Fred and Mary will get divorced in 2007.
Hester, I'm sure your muse will return soon ! Most likely arranging some very comprehensive insurance that will guarantee "Peace & Quiet for All "
New pic wierd Margarethe looks uncomfortable, Xn lookes crossed-eyed,( looks like he inherited that lazy eye from Mommy dearest) no chin and Fred looks like his usual sloppy self, jacket wrinkled, half buttoned and a cell phone or something outlined in pocket. Lame historical photo showing the royal lifeline. Xn never smiles!! why!! he's one!! haven't seen a smile since b'day photos??? not even on holiday!! I think it's wierd there aren't any photos of him smiling..fyi photo at danish royal watchers website. RB still yawnfest ;-)
As much as I'd like to think so I can't - I think Fred loves his babies too much - I think it'll take longer. Hopefully they'll spilt at some point - I really cannot stand that woman *gag*
Leesa, I hope you do come back to RB. There's plenty of people who miss you.
Eliza
Latest urban dictionary entry:
woman-foxxy-woman
Term coined by Jet lead singer Nic Cester to describe Mary Boganson, a.k.a. Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, a notorious aussie/eurotrash groupie and Posh Spice lookalike whom he met in a Copenhagen hotel while on tour.
"Hey, she's a woman-foxxy-woman and I'm single!"
Hester, re the Jet band encounter...is this the same Copenhagen hotel where Freddie and Snoop were busted with the bag-o-drugs? And where Fred later used his regal powers to get the bag-o-drugs back in exchange for Snoop allowing him to stay at the party? And is this the same Snoop-Doggy that was arrested just a few days later in California for drug AND weapons charges? Hmm. Maybe Freddie flew to Tassie a few days early for other reasons?
If I may pitch in here - my understanding - and happy to be corrected! - is that Fred didn't want the little hausfrau cramping his style on the night and left her at home (picture the butch pout and glowering celtish brow!), and on the same night she was seen in the vicinity of the hotel where Nic Cester was staying, but didn't acknowledge meeting him. Nic, however, in the tradition of rock turks, delivered the 'woman-foxxy-woman' compliment as something of a sideswipe at Frederik. Perhaps someone ought to check Mary's dates!!!
Could be Nic Cester is the I Candy she was caught nibbling on.
Eliza, thanks for your kind words but I simply deserve better than the way in which the polizei are treating me on the board.
I find it hard to take seriously a female in her 30s madly in love with Fred. I cannot but laugh at bans issued by such a person, and not a word of explanation to accompany the ban. But if accepting that is what it takes to be there, so be it. Not for me, thank you! Fred and wanna-be-celeb M...
Talk about celebs; read that George Clooney's pet pig Max died a week or so ago. Clooney, on being asked if he was planning on another one, said "Max was all the pig I need". I can relate to that.
Leesa, why not set up your own blog? I would definitely go for a visit.
Eliza
wanted to let you know I much enjoy your blog, thank you for the entertainment :D
That's one wierd photo indeed !
Margarethe does look nervous and she has every right to be, as it appears that Freddie is " Armed & Dangerous ' ( ie: Packin Heat )
Yes, it appears our crownprince is in charge of protecting his crown jewels while the Royal Detail is in Iraq, fighting the real bad guys.
Hope he's only chasing shadows and that no-one is " Snoopin Around " the palace.
Margarethe should arrange for her next outfit in bullet-proof Kevlar or make sure he only fires blanks!
Maybe she's already taken care of that too !
Hi Eliza, yeah, have thought about it but currently am too azy perhaps. Will think about something done my way, and if something happens, I'll let you (and others, RBers in particular) to know.
Hi,
Maria,Hester,Cece,Sunny & Leesa, I hope the proposed message board will become a reality soon. I will be checking in here as often to be informed.I didnt realize that so many had been banned at RB.I found out from my visit here!
I see that I have to visit more often.
Thanx for the laughs,
Cheers,
Jazzy
Wonderful seeing you here, Jazzy! Stick around, great things are in store (c.f. Maria's husband's work on a new message board).
This blog is gathering speed, a veritable haven for expatriates/refugees from Chateau Bleu beyond - do hope the message board materialises, and do hope the clogs and jackboots are left outside the door!
PS: Hester, you're assumption is right about Elena!! I'm not her! - and to anonnie of Dec 6th...you're no Sherlock!
Jazzy,
Oh was Jazzy here! Hello Jazzy! I love you! And miss you.
