Default Queen Margrethe Celebrates 63rd Birthday 16 April 2003

Today Queen Margrethe celebrates her birthday in Marselisborg, her summer residence. Here is a link to some great pictures of Queen Margrethe celebrating with her family, husband Prince Henrik, sons Prince Frederik, Prince Joachim and his family, Princess Alexandra and their sons Nikolai and Felix.

The link is courtesy of the Royal News and Views message board.

There is a photo spread if you click on Her Majesty's image in the top right hand corner.

Some more pics from IBL.

I love Nikolai's vest and tie! And little Felix is looking incredibly big and grown up. He will be celebrating his birthday in a few short months. Hard to believe it's been almost a year!

I thought that too. She also seemed to wave alot more then she did on her engagment day. I think she will fill her role well, be a lovely wife for Frederik, and make Denmark proud.

It's so nice to see Mary looking comfy in her position. The whole family just looks very nice and happy (kinda a welcome change from the Brits :P ).

WOW...Mary looks wonderful. I really think she got a bad rap in the beginning just for being a bit nervous. I think that you could really tell in that engagement interview that she was VERY nervous. I think she has really gotten used to everything and is going to be a wonderful Crown Princess, and Queen.

Mary does indeed look lovely in these pictures. Her tied scarf is a nice touch.

Princess Alexandra's light blue floral skirt was also lovely.

There are also a couple of pictures with Nikolai and Felix peeking through the balcony bars, which are sweet. It must've been quite the occasion for them to see all those people cheering up at them, clapping and waving the Danish flag. In more than one picture I thought Felix bore quite a strong resemblance to his paternal uncle Frederik as a child. They both have the same round face and big eyes, though Felix' colouring is lighter than his uncle's.

And in all the talk of Mary looking great, Happy Birthday Queen Margrethe!

Default Queen Margrethe Celebrates 65th Birthday 16 April 2005

Well, I was one of the people looking at Margrethe, Henrik, Joachim, Nicolai and Felix at the balcony today. Next year, I'll definitely meet earlier than the 45 minutes before I was today, and get a bit further in the line before they open up the plaza before the balcony. It was very crowded there, and very hot.

It was kind of sweet how Margrethe instructed Nicolai how to wave to the crowd, and how Henrik lifted Felix up so that he could see the crowd properly, and we could see him.

One thing I kind of wished would have made the moment even bigger than it was, with the applause and the cheering, was if the people had sung the national anthem when the band played it, and similar if they had sung happy birthday when the band played it. I would imagine that it would have been quite loud.

Picture is from B.T

Queen Margrethe along with Prince Henrik, Prince Joachim, Prince Nikolai and Prince Felix made a balcony appearance today at Amalienborg Palace to mark the Queen's 65th birthday! The palace square was filled with people who wanted to celebrate their monarch. Pictures from Colourpress:

:( A bit of sadness for me looking at these pictures. Because of the divorce, Her Highness Princess Alexandra would never appear on the royal balcony again! How she must have felt seeing her sons and ex-husband go out on to the balcony without her, the first time in 9 or 10 years she hasn't appeared on the balcony.
