You said it! We can hope the photographers were more professional.

Prior to the balcony appearance, Queen Margrethe, Prince Henrik, Crown Prince Frederik and
Crown Princess Mary did another item on the programme - they met with the State Council
at Christiansborg Palace. Here's a gallery of pics:

And not just any state council for QMII, but no. 500! A few additional state council meetings have apparently been added lately, so the queen reached this number for her ruby jubilee.

I wonder if they will start using all three balconies from now on... Q Margrethe and P Henrik in the middle - CP Frederik and family on one - P Joachim and family on the other.

It is already rather crowded now. There is yet another baby on the way. And it will only get more crowded as the children gets older.

It seems like a good idea. Because at QMII's birthday in April they are going to do two or three MIchael Jacksons just to have room for all on the balcony.

Congratulations on your first post, Falkon

I can add that M&F hosted a dinner Friday for the cousins. - That was probably lively!

I see Queen Silvia is wearing UFO-camouflage on her head: http://www4.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/...grethe+II+Denmark+Celebrates+o0PW9vPmy9pl.jpg

What a novel and refreshing idea.

I definitely think they will need to consider using the three balconies from now on! When the new baby arrives (judging by the look of Marie won't be long) and the Queen and Prince Henrik it's going to be a seriously tight squeeze! They won't be able to lift Henrik, Josephine and Vincent forever!

Too cute.

According to the guestlist Gæsteliste til festgudstjeneste i Christiansborg Slotskirke søndag den 15. januar 2012 - Kongehuset P Theodora is not coming.

I think I saw P Theodora? But I haven't seen P Philippos even though he is supposed to come.
Am I wrong?

 

[Muhler]

The royals are boarding the bus that will take them to the church at Christiansborg. The commentators had counted five children: Isabella, Christian, Nikolai, Felix and bette Henrik.
I saw Joachim board the bus with his two oldest children.
Perhaps our Marie is driving by herself with bette Henrik? - If she is attending at all.

A little detail for nerds: The commentators said that QMII has a staff of six adjutants. - It used to be four, but I guess as M&F take om more and more it has been necessary to add two more.

P Isabella wants to sit with her parents, not with "the boys".

Prince Philippos is on the list, Theodora isn't. Sigh, I wanted to see her tiara choice for tonight, but maybe she already had to leave.

 

[Sunny-Lion]

Hi everyone.) Can enyone tell me where I can see the service and upcoming events live?

 

[Danish girl]

They are not there.


It looks like the three boys are having fun together.

 

[Muhler]

I don't know if there are any live feeds. The service has started.

No Marie. (Perhaps within a couple of days?)

Christian is sitting with his cousins Nikolai and Felix and they are chatting away. Isabella prudently opted to sit with mother.
Nikolai's heart almost flew out of his mouth because the pauken suddenly sounded as the Regent Couple entered the church

The commentators are pretty delighted with the children being present, that should lead to some lively pictures in that corner of the church. - Especially as the service should be fairly long.

Thank you.) Congratulations to Denmark from Belarus!

 

[Danish girl]

I just love that church. It is so beautiful inside it.

 

[Roskilde]

Isabella kisses and hugs her mon and dad all the time, it is really lovely to see

 

[Noor Mariam]

Congratulations to Queen Margrethe and all the Danish people for having so nice Royal Family !!!

 

[crm2317]

I wish I could watch live but unfortunately you need to be in Denmark

How nice to see Marie with the family on the balcony.

Theodora was in the church; saw her on TV leaving the bus and entering it again.

That's great! So she was forgotten on the guest list. Well, I guess the administrative people had more than enough to do these days.

Were Haakon and Mette-Marit there?

I would love to know what Mary and Joachim are talking about at 1:09 in this video! I wonder if they are talking about Marie?

Here is one of Isabellas kisses
