Danish New Year Courts: 2004, 2006-2013

[maria-olivia]

Hard days for Prince Henrik Senior who is suffering from backache ..

[Lumutqueen]

Thats possibole why he didn't wear his military uniform.

So Marie and Joachim only participate for one night and that's it?

[MandysRoyalty]

The ladies and their gowns at the New Year Court banquet were exquisite. CP Frederik, however, looked pale and unwell. Does anyone know why?

Perhaps he had a hungover if it is the first new year court you think of...

[Princess_Beatrix]

This is always the event I look forward to most.
Mary looked great at all 3 events.
I also liked Marie's appearance. She fits so well into her role. I wish she and Joachim would attend more events like this.
Why don't they attend the other new year events?

By tradition, Prince Joachim has never attended the New Year's Court for Diplomatic Corps on Jan 5 and Grand Court on Jan 6. He has only always attended the New Year's Banquet on Jan 1.

Yes, for some reason they are not needed at the other 2 events.

I gues that CP Frederik was 18 when he began to be in thows events (he was grantet the Order of the Elephant when he became 18)

[ashelen]

THank you so much, i would love to see a photo him athat age in one of this new hears event!!!

[Maura724]

That would be interesting to see old New Year Court photos - perhaps from Frederik's first few years in the late 1980s, or even further back to when Margrethe was young. Does anyone have any like that?

Press Release from kongehuset.dk

[Zonk]

When is Mary due again? I thought she was due in December/January? I am thinking she might not make these New Year plans.

[dee4855]

It was reported as January.

[Princejohnny25]

I wouldn't be surprised if Mary does not attend these events, which sucks for us because I for one would love to see her all dolled up with a huge belly!

I agree Zonk - chances are Mary won't attend the New Years Courts, whether or not she has given birth. IMO, Mary was included in the official press release as an attendee to go along with the "January due date" that is being sprouted as the official due date, to avoid speculation about her due date, why isn't she going to attend, etc. etc.

[Lumutqueen]

I can't really see Mary going to the New Years event and i'll miss her display of style. However, if the docs know she'll give birth early which would be November? Maybe we'll see her.

[RubyPrincess168]

I always enjoy Mary's appearance at the New Year's events, but I worry about whether Mary will be there this year. It's her third (?) pregnancy and its twins so chances are she could deliver early - possible in December. And there is also the possibility of her having a c-section rather than a normal delivery. However it happens, Mary has in the past taken time off from her official duties afterwards like any new mother would take a maternity leave.
