Thank you, Alexandra, for a wonderful day! We'll have to do this again when you have free time. I'm so happy that Joachim called you, as from what you said yesterday, you were missing him a lot. The picture of you is stunning. I've always admired how you look so well put-together, so classy. haha. *curtsies*

[alexandramanley]

*laughs* I had a great time with you, Virginie. Thank you for coming. I told Joachim all about our day and he told me he would like to meet you, so any chance of you joining us for lunch or dinner once we're back in Europe?

For you and your prince, I'll make time, and I'll bring Lilas along too. :-*

Fabulous.

You look thrilled lovely

[alexandramanley]

thrilled? that's a new one. It was an exciting experience, but tiring too.

You look so happy in that picture! ;) hehe. Actually you look really focused! :)

I'm glad the only thing royal about me is my status as the current Queen of Country. I couldn't take being one side of the globe without my husband, or my little girls, and to prove they all go everywhere with me. One has to because he is my sound mixer, the other three are just stuck with mommy until they turn 18 (heaven forbid they run away forever then).

I'm just from the wrong cookie cutter, I guess. Not a royal bone in my body, I applaud you for handling everything the way you do, or at least appear to, because I know I have days where I'd like to just drop it all and be normal for a while, not have one foot in every door, and be in 4 places at once. It can be tiring, but it's all worth it in the end don't you think? All the hard work you put in to it all pays off, and bigger and greater things come along, and you can tackle them.

I've written you a little letter! I'll quit now, LOL.

Hope we can chat soon.

Sometimes I do just want to drop it all and live a normal life, the one I had back in Hong Kong, but I know that meeting and marrying Joachim was one of the best decisions of my life. I can't live without him, and can't imagine what my life would be like if I hadn't met him. And you're very right. All the hard work does pay off in the end. At the end of the day when I'm in my hotel room, or at home, I can look back on the events that happened and really tell myself that I've made a diffence, and the feeling is wonderufl.

You're lucky your children and husband travel with you everywhere! I only wish that was the case for me *sigh.*

The press are everywhere, Alexandra. You handle them with grace and style.

Frederik, how marvelous it is that I have come across you. Thank you for the compliment, you are a rare fish. How have you been with Mary's sister's wedding in Tasmania and all?
