Call me Grinch, I thought that was pretty inappropriate. This was a work occasion, and a special one at that.
Maybe don't get caught sneaking around in Spain and you don't have to prove anything at your declaration (is this the word?).

It was certainly an awkward kiss. Clearly this was an emotional day for all concerned, affair or not. He was crying and in desperate need of a hankie. He did wipe his nose with his glove. Guess it would have been emasculating if QueenMary had wiped it for him
They'll be damned if they do and damned if they don't, right? If they hadn't kissed, everyone would have said they hate each other so much they cannot even kiss on such a day. Now that they did, people are saying it was inappropriate or that they were totally faking it.
To me they seemed pretty happy and it reminded me of their wedding day. I think it was Mary who seemed to be asking Fred if they should kiss or not. He was hesitant and a bit shy about it at first. The kids behind them looked pleased. Who knows for sure what happened or didn't happen in Spain and what the whole arrangement was. Maybe Mary knew about the whole visit, maybe he slept in a separate part of the apartment, we don't know. Or maybe he did have a sordid affair but to me neither Fred or Genoveva looked happy or like an item. I don't really care at this point. We don't know what the relationship between Mary and Fred is really like but I do hope they try to make it work.
Today the royal family (sans kids) has visited the Parliament for some speeches, celebrations and a choir performing. Nice to see Margrethe and auntie Benedikte there too. But what really irked me was Fred slouching at the end of the ceremonies and crossing his legs in his chair like he had forgotten he's the king now and not the teenage son of the regent being forced to attend this event. He better find a spine of steel soon because the whole lounging around relaxed thing is annoying for a king.
Some pics...
Good to see Joachim there too. I guess he'll leave for Washington again tonight.

Not me. I am very much team "Do not make out with your spouse at work"
Then again, I certainly do not think it was somehow scandalous, I am just 100 at heart.
They are performing for the crowd, imo.Not me. I am very much team "Do not make out with your spouse at work"
The Queen, Philip and Churchill were all members!
In what capacity?
They all were part of colonizing India?
I don't think that's the prerequisite to become a member - the order predates the colonization of India by both Denmark and Great Britain and one of the current knights is Germany's president Steinmeier. I'm not familiar with the fineprint of what the order does, though.
