Perhaps we should go through what happens at the diplomatic court today, for new members.
This takes place at the royal representation rooms at Christiansborg, the Parliament.
The DRF go through the Drabant Hall, where a detachment from the Royal Lifeguard is lined up and into the Knights Hall.
Here the DRF will line up and the diplomats will line the three walls in front of the DRF.
The doyen (the diplomat who has been the longest time in DK) will on behalf of the diplomatic corps wish the DRF a happy New Year and wish them the Very best. Then the diplomats are called up in order of seniority in order to greet the DRF. All diplomats regardsless of the size and importance of their country has the same status in the eyes of the protocol.
After that the diplomats will be served a little refreshments and something to chew on and they will mingle with eachother and the DRF.
This is a rare opportunity for all the diplomats to be together and meet everybody else on neutral ground and so to speak without any political agenda and also an opportunity to show off a bit in regards to neighboring countries, hence the very much increased use of national costumes.
Earlier on there was another court at Amalienborg, for predominantly the officers of the two guards regiments. They also wish the Majesty and her family a happy New Year and she wish them well in return and in this way thank them for their service in protecting her and her family.
