Im kinda liking this place more for her birthday. the DRF are not so cramped like in the balcony and the crowd was closer
 
Wonder why Athena wasn't there. Either way the children all looked lovely. What I found funny was just after they walked outside and started waving Nikolai grabbed Henrik's arm and made him wave and then later on appeared to teasingly push him over the edge slightly. Such a big brother!
 
The videos and photos were delightful, the DRF seem to be a happy family. I love the photos of Grandpa Henrik teasing little Vincent. :D All the children are growing quickly.

The twins are adorable :wub: The two pictures of them making faces are priceless.

QMII looks so happy, a shame Athena couldn't be there - perhaps the little thing is sick. Marselisborg is so beautiful, a stunning location for QMII to be celebrated (albeit my slight annoyance that she decided to spend her birthday in Aarhus rather than in Copenhagen when I finally had the opportunity to go to Amalienborg).

The Danish press's slowness in regards to uploading pictures and videos of today's photo opportunity has been absolutely staggering. Have personally been waiting for some HQ pictures for right about two hours - the wait has been killing me slowly.

I was wondering the same thing. I'm sure Athena would've made an appearance otherwise, as she has attended the last two balcony appearances.
 
Svensk Damtidning has a pic of parts of the family going for a walk in the woods Wednesday. Presumably in the afternoon: http://svenskdam.se/files/2014/04/mary-frederik-barn-ste1.jpg

M&F and all of their children except Vincent, but perhaps he was playing with bette Henrik?
I assume the woman is a nanny.

Some of you will no doubt appreciate Frederik's bright red pants...

And finally a decent clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqYErG_vzKc#t=98

It's actually the royal anthem the twins thought was too loud.
Notice how Isabella stands neatly to attention during the anthem, just like farmor and grandpapa.

It almost look like they are calling at someone, Vincent maybe? Maybe he just ran around on his active little legs and couldn't been seen in the picture. I understand they chose to go for a walk, the nature and scenery around Marselisborg is beautiful, especially in that sunny weather.

A thing I always notice is how Margrethe and Christian always stand closely to eachother at these events. They have a special bond those two.

Here are more pictures from Facebook, which I think we haven't posted before:

These pictures are so, so pretty! What a lovely family. They all looked wonderful. The children are unbelievable: the right mix of sweetness, politeness and vivacity.
Maybe Athena wasn't feeling well or was napping? (what time did the event take place?). I loved the picture taken form inside the palace where you can see what they are actually staring at when waving. I always wonder!
 
Thanks to all for links to the photos and videos.

Looked like a lovely day for QM and lovely that she had her family around her and lovely for us to see the family.
So many great photos. My favourite, the one of Isabella telling Josephine not to climb over the railing, just because the sweetness and gentle nature of Isabella can be seen. The twins, well there is no doubt that they enjoy spending their time together, they are adorable.
 
Vincent comes across in the many photos we have seen in the last couple of years as a gentle and happy child. He is usually seen smiling.

the red pants and frederik are just :kiss:;)
I love the pic of the family going for a walk after.

and a thank you to all for the extra pictures
a truly beautiful day
 

Thank for the pictures. The gif is especially interesting as one might almost imagine that HM Queen Margrethe is encouraging the twins to wave. Vincent obeys in a vincentian fashion but la petite Josephine will have none of it!:lol::lol: For Danish members, I was curious that the band played 'Happy Birthday' and one could hear the English lyrics being sung to this American favourite. Is there not a Danish 'happy birthday' equivalent?:flowers:

We certainly do have a danish birthdaysong, but it does not sound good for the instruments in the Royal Guard Band :flowers:

Here´s a somewhat corny edition of "Today it´s (the birthdaychild´s name) birthday)

Another gallery
including Frederik and Mary and kids on their little stroll
and yes Vincent was right behind them
Dronning Margrethes fødselsdag Aarhus 2014 - Spotted

Thanks Polyesco, great large, very large gallery .

I wasn't all wrong when guessing Vincent was just running around on his own feet.

Here a three nice gifs of Isabella getting surprised by something Mary telling her :lol:

:previous: Thanks for sharing Roskilde. I love Isabella's reaction in gif 2. I wonder what Mary told her that made her so shocked? :ROFLMAO:

Thanks for the extra photos everyone. They're very lovely and give off a nice family atmosphere. Vincent covering his ears reminded me of Grace van Cutsem at the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding back in 2011. It appears that ceremonial music is not the little ones' cup of tea. My favourite photos are these ones: one, two.

Thanks, Polyesco :flowers:

Not least for putting me on the track of this: Dronning Margrethes fødselsdag Aarhus 2014 - Spotted
241 pictures of the event! - Neatly arranged with thumbs.

Wonder what it is Bella is measuring at page 12?

I was wondering the same thing - whatever it was, Mary seemed to find it amusing. :D

Thanks for the wonderful gallery! I don't think they are going for a walk: I think they are going home. Mary is carrying large bag and they are dressed much to elegantly for a walk. They are probably going to their car (nanny in tow).

Wonder what it is Bella is measuring at page 12?

Maybe one of the drums?? :)

Danish royal children are sooooo happy and lovely!
I'm so sad to miss little Athena....
Especially twins so cute and really growing up :eek:
I think prince Nikolai adorables his little brother prince Henrik :D
 
how cute..even though dear little vincent dont looks like he thought it was particularly funny:D:D isabella takes good care of him.. she always seems very aware of the twins.

agreed. Isabella also kept a close eye on Josephine who like Vincent was also trying to jump over the fence ;)

Its funny seeing Christian calm and all grown up when just a few years ago he and Isabella were doing the same as the twins

I love how the Danish royal family gather together for occasions like this and not afraid to show it.
