Wow, he was handsome when he was young. A lot better looking that Frodo and Joachim.

He has, as they say, let himself go. What he needs is a mean cardiologist and somebody to start running the lard off him.

That is one good thing about the Danish royal family. Marge and Henri´s love is absolutely genuine - and very much alive to this day. Gorgeous to see those clips and photos.  Suze

I just cannot get into these two. Cool to see old footage, though!

How did they meet? And was there initially apprehension about her marrying a Frenchman? I know there's a tradition in the DRF of not marrying their fellow Danes, but were there some concerns about her marrying a French Catholic aristocrat?

Henri and Daisy met at a dinner party in London, where he was working at the French embassy and she was studying at the London School of Economics. He had planned to leave this party as soon as he could, because he had heard there would be a Danish princess there and he was sure she would be very boring. Then he got there and found himself absolutely smitten.
There wasn't really any opposition - the King said yes right away, and as far as I know the Danish people thought it was all very romantic. Henrik officially converted to Lutheranism before the wedding, so no issues there, and the nationality was fine as long as it wasn't Danish. He was very much just a commoner, by the way - there was an unsuccessful attempt to ennoble his family a couple centuries ago, but in the end it didn't happen.

I find that very strange too, but at least that gives their families some privacy. If the Middletons lived in Italy, they might not get so much of the limelight.
