An array of different things.
First of all, thank you so much to whoever recced me into must_be_pop. I'm very thankful.
Second, I'm in New York, but will be leaving tomorrow night. I arrived the day before yesterday and spend a lovely 3 days doing an array of different things, including my official duties as the honorary president of UNICEF. When I was a little girl I would've never dreamed that I would ever be part of such a great organization, but now that I've come this far, I look back and realize that all the sweat and hard work was worth it. I've seen the sights of New York, went to FAO Schwarz to pick up some toys for Felix and Nikolai, and even got to meet up with ledoyenvirginie for a couple of hours. I visited the Statue of Liberty with her, and on the ferry we had a grand time talking about the benefits and restrictions of leading a life of fame. She said that she didn't like how the media is always on their toes for a story on you, I said I agreed, but it's something you get used to, living in the spotlight. Every move of yours is watched, every mistake is recorded, every accomplishment praised.
My prince called me last night from South Africa, where he is, like me, attending to his royal duties. I miss him so much. Over the past few weeks we've barely seen each other, as I've been busy with UNICEF Denmark and Joachim with his duties. I remember the days when Nikolai was just born and we got to stay home all day in Schakenborg and just lounge and play with the kids. But as they're growing up, they become more independent, and we're less needed. I look into my eldest son's face and see a little bit of myself, the curiosity, the craving for independence, the playfulness. My father told me on his last visit that Nikolai reminded him of me. I guess that means that maybe Felix will grow up to be a gentleman, just like Joachim.
My security staff found this picture taken of me while I was at the UN headquarters yesterday. I can't believe there was press there!
