The Royal Court has issued a statement that they do no longer accept gifts from car dealers. When Frederik and Mary got married they got 5 cars and were photographed with those who gave the gifts.

This is a very good decision, it has made the royals vunerable for critics and accusations of corruption. I guess this statement was prompted by Nikolai's mishap.

Hopefully the court will stop accepting other gifts as well. 10 years ago I know a woman who worked for a PR Agency and was in charge of organising the gifts given to Mary from all kinds of designers. The Agency had a whole room full of gifts that the Crown Princess could choose among.
