The photos of all the palaces are really very good! The only thing that is missing is the location and country of origin. Maybe someone can help?

Hope that helps a bit.

I'm pretty sure that his is Frederiksborg Castle in Hillerød, Denmark where Prince Joachim and Princess Alexandra of Denmark got married.

This would be Glücksburg Castle (Schloss Glücksburg) in Glücksburg, Germany where King Christian IX and his siblings grew up.
