Crown Prince Frederik, the ‘party prince’: the down-to-earth next king of Denmark who met his wife in a pub

“The bottom line is that we must never stop developing and the royal house must continue to be a meaningful institution that the Danes are proud of and support,” he added.  Gitte Redder, the author who interviewed Frederik at the time, called the future king "a star among many Danes" even before he took to the throne, nodding to his various nicknames among the Danish public, from the Frogman King and the Rock ’n’ Roll King to the Sportsman King and the Green King. “By nature he is open-minded, curious and down to earth. With Crown Princess Mary he has already set the agenda on sustainability, medicine and human rights, and the royal couple has ambitions that the monarchy should also be relevant, useful and have value for young generations in the future," she said.

How AI will transform travel in 2024

How AI will transform travel in 2024

Henry Coutinho-Mason, trend forecaster and author of The Future Normal, agrees: “Gen AI will mean that planning a trip will become more like a conversation, rather than the current drop down search filters, especially as voice inputs become common. But it will also transform the travel experience in more subtle, but equally welcome, ways. During the trip, real-time translation will make communication seamless; AI will step in and automatically navigate bureaucracy in the case of cancelled flights or lost luggage; after the trip, it will automatically create movies, similar to Apple's Memories or Google's Photo Stack today, but far more intelligently - adding animations, soundtracks, voice overs and cinematic effects.”  Source link

The questions to ask your travel agent if you want to travel more sustainably

Why this matters: "Rather than looking for a two-week, all-inclusive beach break, honeymooners are increasingly requesting to spend their precious time discovering destinations slowly, learning about cultures, staying in off-grid properties, learning something new, having specialist local guides and delving deeper into the destination. As an independent travel designer it is incredibly important that I work alongside a carefully curated selection of hotels, lodges, local guides and other local partners who can help me create these experiences. Rather than booking with large wholesalers that are driving local properties for increased commissions, have standardised excursions and tend to focus on booking larger properties, I actively seek out partners who are smaller, more creative, work clo...

Slow-anuary: why I’m ditching the resolutions and making January 2024 my warm-up month

So, this year I’d like to suggest that we try something a little different: instead of seeing January as a month to go leaping into action from day one, chasing after new dreams, habits and goals; we look at it instead as the warm-up month of the year. A time to go slow, to take stock and give ourselves the space to really get clear on what we want this next year to be all about, so that come February, we are ready and have the energy to get started on making those dreams a reality.

The five festive TikTok food trends of 2023, from caviar bump to miso gravy

And according to experts, it's a trend for 2024, not just for Christmas. “We expect this trend to continue into 2024, with more chefs putting it on their menus and our customers buying it to serve as an impressive appetiser at their dinner parties," Andrew Bird, head of food at Selfridges, told The Times. "For those looking to impress their guests or treat themselves to something special on New Year’s Eve, a glass of champagne served along with a side of caviar is the ultimate gourmet experience.” Source link

Best beauty and wellness discoveries of 2023

Good lord there are so many hair oils out there, and it’s accordingly quite something to navigate this particular genre. This is the first I’ve found that gives me precisely what I want: healthy, shiny, glossy but not heavy or slick lengths. I apply it to dry hair, keeping my application to the ends where it is in need of help. Also it is worth mentioning that the stockist, Sally Beauty, is a fascinating beauty emporium, and you may like me end up with a bulging basket of goods should you peruse.  Source link

How Saltburn became the unlikely family film this Christmas

And yet, there’s something that makes sense about it. Saltburn isn’t the first grotesque, vaguely traumatising film to take hold of Christmas family viewing in recent years. Last year The Menu, which features finger amputation, suicide and the burning of human smores, seemed to be the main non-Christmas film that cut through the betwixmas period. In 2019, Uncut Gems had a strange hold over festive viewing, as did Nightcrawler back in 2014.  Source link
