April 11
Joachim & Marie participated in National Pet Day
Princess Marie has taken a sweet photo of Prince Joachim with the family dog ​​Cerise, which was shared on the occasion of the USA's National Pet Day. Thus, they shared a beautiful picture of the family's cute Bichon Frise, Cerise, who sits safely on Prince Joachim's lap in the family car.




National Pet Day takes place every year on April 11 to encourage people to appreciate the important role that pets play in their lives. People are encouraged to appreciate their pets a little extra on the special day.

At the same time, a focus is created on the animals that need a little more attention and, for example, live in animal shelters. It is believed that 80 million households in the United States have pets.

Cerise moved in with the princely family in 2019. Before that, the family had the dog Apple, which Princess Marie took with her when she moved to Denmark.

No new news, really. Just an interview with Joachim and Marie. They do talk about the title situation a little bit. The pull quote was “We weren’t happy about the way it happened,” Marie said. “But it’s a family thing. It’s complicated.”

The (not so) subtlest of shade thrown at the family.

The family looks great, living stateside really suits them.

prolly because they're away from the train-wreck called floppy frodo and MEdiana show.

[Hester]

Is Athena tall or is Marie tiny?

[periwinkle]

Both? It's nice to see the family resemblance in Athena. I see Joachim and Henrik's face in her which is replicated some in Izzy's face.

I imagine that life is a lot better away from the relentless stench of (i) booze and learned helplessness (Fred) and (ii) needy attention seeking and   desperation to maintain non-existent looks (Mary).

[Maria]

I imagine life is better away and free from Marge and her destructive selfishness.

August 9
Joachim & Marie attend Medina concert
For the past few weeks, Joachim, 55, and Marie, 48, have been holidaying at Château de Cayx in Cahors with Count Henrik, 15, and Countess Athena, 12. Here, they have also spent time with Joachim's sons, Count Nikolai, 24, and Count Felix, 22, and their girlfriends, Benedikte Thoustrup, 25, and Mie Sofia Elers, 23.

On Friday, the princely couple attended a concert in Tivoli. Here you could see a very enthusiastic Marie singing along to many of the big hits, while Joachim lovingly held her. The princely couple also got an audience with the pop queen backstage, where they partied with Medina and her band members.

I love that the Schacks seem to be living their best lives away from the DRF after their rough treatment from Marge and the Royal Court.

I think so too. It was a hard pill to swallow at the time, but now I think his life, and the lives of his family, will be better.

Been following (but not commenting) on this topic for a while. Watching the ups and downs of their treatment by the family. Kept thinking there's a hidden agenda by the crown with this couple to keep them from taking too  much attention away from heirs on subjects & activities that never interested the heirs. Was it a back-handed way of giving them their 'freedom' from the family? They do seem happier and more content now. IMO

I honestly think it was both. Margarethe was ruthless but in one action she both made room for Fred’s family to take center stage (and then later she abdicated the stage to them) and she also gave Joachim's family the freedom to arrange their lives to suit themselves, without obligation to the crown. I’m so happy they look like they are thriving.
