Nice pics. Pity Queen Margrethe II. was not included, but it seems they were taken in their Amalienborg Palace so she probably wasn't there
Judging from the new gala pictures of him next to Frederik (1.83 cm), I'd guesstimate around 1.93 cm.

One small detail that caught my attention and which I wondered about is how the prince's anecdote about changing high schools was received by the audience. When I read the speech my thought was that, although one naturally wouldn't expect any royal to disclose any events which truly caused him deep anxiety in a nationally broadcast speech at his festive coming-of-age gala, the idea that a future king (and one who already has a reputation for being sociable and popular) would feel nervous about being the "new" person when transferring high schools just sounded implausible. But ultimately it is the opinion of the Danish public as a whole that matters.

You may want to ask that in the thread Royal-Royal Marriages Today.
)) but Motzfeldt says that Victoria told him she is very fond of Greenland and would like to show the country to Estelle one day.

(Don't know what Assens and Lemvig did to deserve double representation at Frederik and Mary's tables...

Found a neat little article from KNR about the Greenlandic youths at the gala. Apparently Angititaq Motzfeldt, who was seated at Frederik's table, had met Frederik years back in Narsaq. The article gets Victoria and Mary mixed up (I suspect he just referred to Victoria as "the Crown Princess"

Thank you for this information. It seems like some accomplished youth representatives were rewarded with sharing a table with two royals their age, and someone fond of Assens and Lemvig is well-connected
