Queen Margrethe's 75th Birthday Celebrations: April 2015


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
At last nights dinner i noticed everybody had a small black box at their place setting - where these the birthday medals? Did everyone who attended receive one?

According to Anna von Lowzow, they were little souvenirs, so to speak, a little thing to bring home, and such are given out at most banquets/official parties like the gala banquet yesterday. AFAIK it's a tradition that goes back as far as to King Christian IX and Queen Louise.

I think there will be broadcast speaches

Nope. Unless they've been terribly wrong on TV2 all day (wouldn't be a first, honestly), I believe tonight is private – apart from the entrance, that is.

Ready for cuteness?

TV2 news has now the clip online:
After the royal family had went inside Princess Isabella herself open the large balcony door, sticking her head out, smiles to the the large crowd, go back in and then you can see that she is dancing and jumping around inside :D

Too cute. I love that girl! I'm surprised that Mette Hansen was there as their nanny. I thought she quit that job years ago?

She probably means a lot to the family, not least the children, certainly she and Christian were very close. Remember the scene in Copenhagen Zoo? That was pure love between Mette Hansen and Christian.

I agree. Is Prince Joachim wearing one of Prince Henrik's jackets?

That's what I thought too. So unfortunate. It does not look good (for several different reasons.) just stick to a nice tuxedo jacket.

I recognised King Constantine II of Greece, Crown Prince Haakon of Norway, Princess Benedikte of Denmark, King Carl XVI Gustav of Sweden, Helle Thorning-Schmidt, Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark, Susanne Heering and Susanne Vind.

I also think that the, eh, balding gentleman was Kjeld Hillingsø but there was no close-up of him so I'm not sure.

I'm going to surprise myself by saying that Benedikte is on top of my list for the evening (as far as I've seen from the photos). Lovely woman, great dress!
 
How many grand events can you pack into two days? My goodness! Over on the Order of Sartorial Splendor blog, there are literally thousands of comments - too many to go through.

Just a few observations:

Too bad PH couldn't be there; I had hoped he would be well enough to attend tonight's dinner with friends and family.

CP Frederik looks more and more like the king he will become - relaxed and confident.

So nice to see all of the grandchildren. Dear little Athena looks as though she doesn't know what to make of it all. Her hair is growing out and she has a sweet face.

Finally, for the Danish speakers - how do you pronounce this word: tyllkke. (hope I spelled it right)
 
^^^MidwestMom-I believe it is time for our dear Muhler to start video lessons in Danish here at TRF!

Svensk Damtidning's reporter has two "behind the scenes" photos at her blog: Prince Henrik's dog is out just before all the photographers came, and king Carl Gustaf and queen Silvia at a bus. The reporter writes that there was plenty of empty seats at the bus, but the king and queen wanted to sit right at the front.
