I think that Queen Margrethe has learned not to show her sorrow in public an grieve home in privat..I think that Prince Consort Henrik is looking up in heaven to see that his mother inlaw is safe....I did the same when my grandmother was buried in April this year
The hardest time at my grandmothers funural was when the coffin was put down in the ground, so therfor i chose to look at the flag in the heaven.

Back to subject i think it must be very hard so say godbye to a parrent thinking of Queen Ingrids daugthers and their ages.

I think royals have learnt not to show emotion in public not just Queen M.
Queen M looks just as distraught as Quee AM or Princess Benedikte.

It's a sweet thought, H.M. Margrethe, but please take a closer look the next time you watch Prince Henrik attending a church ceremony! He invariably looks as if he'd rather be some place else! He is bored stiff when in church, but then again religious beliefs don't mean the same to him as they do to the Queen.

I'm curious why Queen Margrethe, Queen Anne-Marie, and Princess Benedikte are wearing formal mourning clothes and veils, while the other female members of the family aren't. Is this a matter of etiquette, personal preference, or tradition?

At the time of the funeral, Alexandra was still married to Joachim, so I'd have imagined that all "princesses of the house" would be dressed similarly.
