A Long Hot Summer Holiday - Extra Labels

Wedding of Annette Petersen & Thomas Olsen

13 May 2006

Frederik and Mary were among the guests who celebrated the wedding of Thomas Olsen (37) and Annette Petersen, at Holckenhavn Slot on the island Fyn.

Thomas Olsen is an IT millionair and investor. He's known for having bought and sold various Danish footbal clubs. Although not often on the foreground, Thomas and his wife Annette are friends of Frederik & Mary's. They also assisted at their wedding in 2004.

 

The castle isn't the couple's home. It was 'just' their wedding venue.

At a horse show in Sweden + new portrait

Pregnant Mary was spotted at the Falsterbo horse show in Sweden.

This was the start of Fred & Mary's summer holidays. They spent 4 weeks in Sweden, France, on the Danish coast and at Graasten. Afterwards Mary carried on performing duties until the birth of Christian, so it's safe to say her first pregnancy was a very easy one.

The same day, Mary's first official portrait was revealed in Australia. It's painted by Jiawei Shen, who worked on it during Federik & Mary's Australian tour (see: http://maryfromthestart.blogspot.be/2014/02/australia-tour-day-5.html).

Nowadays it can be seen at the National Portrait Gallery of Canberra, Australia.
