Summary of article in Billed Bladet #2, 2008.
Joachim og Marie fyrede den af - Joachim and Marie fired it off.
Written by Ulrik Ulriksen, who spend New Years Eve outside a villa in Gentofte, for the benefit of his faithful readers, namely us.
Joachim and our Marie started the New Year celebrations with a lunch with some invited friends at restaurant Celeste in Nyhavn, a few minutes walk from Amalienborg.
The couple strolled back to Amalienborg hand in hand, receiving many good wishes by passers by.
In the evening they went to the home of Benedicte and Michael Darsberg in Gentofte. They arrived just in time for the Queen's New Year address. After having said happy New Year to our reporter. Joachim in Danish, Marie in English. (*) The other friends present were Henriette and Peter Steenstrup and Oscar Siesbye. Britt Siesbye, who seems to be Marie's best friend in DK had to stay home with their son.
The smaller fireworks were lit a couple of hour before midnight for the benefit of the children present.
But the heavy fireworks, for the boys, were lit at midnight!
Our reporter must have had a chat with M&F when they left the party, because we are informed that Joachim opened the oysters and that they danced disco in the basement of the villa. (Not the oysters of course)!
Contrasted against Alexandra's prim-and-properness, and wow! Night and day, those two!
