It was a happy, friendly, crown prince Frederik, who on Monday morning had gone to the mid-to embark on the season kongejagter.

And, by tradition, consisted the company of both royal erhvervsspidser as well as the crown Prince's close friends.

In the year were among others the Lego owner Kjeld Kirk Kristiansens son-in-law, Claus Thinggaard, with.

He is married with Kjeld Kirk Kristiansens youngest daughter, OL-the rider Agnete Kirk Thinggaard.

the Pair are known to be close friends of the royal couple.

Although the royal family rules usually provide that the royal is coming eventually, so did Claus Thinggaard noted for to arrive after the crown prince.

But as the heir to the throne doesn't seem to have anything against. The good friend got a big hug of Frederick.

the crown prince looked a little tired out, but seemed to be in a good mood and told him also, that he rejoiced for the hunt, which primarily had hunted red deer.

"It is nice to meet new acquaintances, and also partially older, who want to put up here on a good day and give all of us and herself a good experience," he said.

According to the kongehusekspert and author Søren Jakobsen, so is kongejagter an old tradition, where the royal family has historically maintained relations with the local rulers, wealthy minority and nobility.

Before the crown prince was, for many years, prince Henry, who was of the miniature order of the elephant.

He was known to invite his friends, erhvervsfolkene Peter Sable and Christian Kjær, as well as other especially the rich and powerful business people.

"It got a little more svung, when prince Henrik stood for it. It was him, who stood for jagtmiddagen at Fredensborg Castle, where the ladies came with big dresses. He made the big number out of it. The ladies had dinner in the evening, and the Queen made cultural excursions for the ladies while the to Louisiana or another," he says.

Hunt in Gludsted is, however, somewhat different than that of the Competition later in the year.

"Gludsted Planatge is a herrejagt. It is here that Frederick cultivate its future relations – mainly royal business," says Soren Jakobsen.

According to Søren Jakobsen is crown prince Frederik a little more modest in the range of jagtgæster in Gludsted.

the crown prince also invites less powerful and less rich people.

"the crown prince has put his own line," says Soren Jakobsen.

Among the 24 guests to the hunt was, however, a part nicely worth recidivists.

Among other things have the same and heir to the boghandlerimperiet Arnold Busck, Peter Busck, previously attended.

Also vindmøllemilliardæren Peter Stubkjær Sørensen, who with a fortune of $ 3.7 billion, according to Berlingske, Denmark's 34.-richest person, was with both this year and last year.

Also Ikast-Brandes mayor, Ib Boye Lauritsen, was met up – in addition, together with kommunaldirektøren, Flemming Storgaard.

After the hunt was blown at the time, called on crown prince Frederik participants to take good care of:

"Think of your safety first and then enjoy the sight of that might come in front of you," said the 51-year-old jagtprins.
