So I’m phasing out my AOL use, but still have to check my email every once and while. So the little ad on the welcome menu is for an article on the 5 most eligible princes. I SWEAR I just wanted to see if (according to the Eurodopers assembled at CopeDope 2000) my future husband, Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark, was on the list.

He [was.](http://eharlequin.women.com/harl/escapes/features/11efer51.htm) w00h00! Holy Royal Hottie, Batman! I’ve been practicing waving. ::elbow-elbow, wrist-wrist:: If any of you guys run into him on the street, feel free to talk me up.

So, do we have taste or what ? 😉

(It’s so unfair - not only will his wife become Queen, he gets to wear uniforms like that - I mean, who **wouldn’t** be able to score with that outfit.)

Looks like it is time drop this whole American facade and fess up. Yes, it is I, Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark. I think it is high time Swiddles and I run off to live a life full of debauchery, unmatched riches, and sleepless nights.

Liar. Your wife likes the number [21](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=58173).

More reasons for me to marry Freddie: I look great in tiaras.

You should stay away from those Danish crown princes. They’re notoriously melancholy. Unless, of course, you want to be reduced to getting thyself to a nunnery, becoming (briefly) an amateur botanist, and eventually finding out just how deep those riddles swim.

To tell you the truth, I always had a little thing for Hamlet. I mean, he’s well read, (“words, words, words…”), well traveled (being in exile will do that to a Prince,) and just brooding enough to keep me interested.

Bring it on.

Bet you’d have a bitch of a time getting a commitment out of him, though. 🙂
