Well, this is a surprise! It seems that His Royal Highness Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark carried the Olympic Flame through Notting Hill in London on July 26, 2012. Now, I must admit that I’m confused as to why he carried the flame. Shouldn’t a British man or woman have the honor of carrying the torch/flame not the crown prince of Denmark? Typically, a person carrying the torch/flame is from the country which is hosting the current Olympic Games.
Anyway, after Crown Prince Frederik passed the flame to the next runner he was asked about his historic moment in the Olympic spotlight (a bit dramatic, I know), “… the atmosphere was nice… it was a good experience!!”
Yay.

As you may know by now the sovereign prince decided to auction 38 of those classic cars through Artcurial Motorcars in Monaco. Well, the auction took place this afternoon and at this time it is unknown which cars were sold etc, etc.
Anyway, click here to watch Prince Albert II’s interview with host Mélanie Griffon from Télématin. By the way, if you receive the French channel, TV5 Monde, here in the United States there is a good chance you will be able to watch the Télématin segment with the sovereign prince.
