Death and Funeral of Prince Henrik of Denmark: February 13 and 20, 2018 - Page 10

That's it. They've reached Amalienborg.

Quite a few people showed up what is basically only cars passing by.
I noticed many cars had pulled over, in the opposite direction from the cortege when driving on the high way.

Tomorrow at 18.00 the casket will be transferred from Amalineborg to Christiansborg. As far as I understand, this will be as close to a funeral procession as is possible, while still respecting PH's wishes.

Here is a BB gallery of the private part of the park around Fredensborg and it is somewhere here PH's urn will be buried.
This part of the park will be open to the public when the DRF is not in residence.

Normally there is a procession after the service. From the church to Roskilde. But since he is to be cremated that's not an option.

Today at 10.00 PH will be driven from Fredensborg to Amalienborg, a drive that is expected to last about an hour, so it will take place at a moderate speech.
I expect quite a few people will show their respect. especially at the beginning around Fredensborg and towards the end when the hearse and the cars with the DRF enters Copenhagen city.

In 20 minutes, a 40 minute salute will start.

You can rest assured there will be live coverage from both events all forenoon.

Thanks for the explanation!

Yes I can see the link here in Florida.😊 Thanks

Are you able to watch this TV2 clip of the DRF leaving Fredensborg, before they drive towards Amalienborg?

As Knight of the Order of the Seraphim a Ringing of the Seraphim will take place in Riddarholmen Church in Stockholm on the day of Prince Henrik's funeral.

Touching to see the Prince leaving Fredensborg. I see 6 red uniformed gentlemen (I think footmen in daily costume) and 2 gentlemen in white uniform, which look like household servants or something?

I like three oldtimers following the hearse.

Yes, they are servants of various kinds.
It was very much PH who ran the household on a daily basis, so they would have known him very well.

There was no barriers, no police cordon at Amalienborg Square. Instead police officers and guardsmen who were not on guard duty went about and quietly directed people as to where to stand and answered questions and so on.
That's pretty typical for the DRF, there is little physical distance between them and the Danes. - And long may it remain so...

Margrethe looks very composed as so does Christian. Very worthy ceremony for Henrik.

i am saddened to see that he is not receiving a state funeral though. henrik was prince consort and has given a lot of his life to representing denmark. it is only fair that he gets a proper farewell, whatever his comments and actions were in the past - specially given his latest episode (on not wanting to be buried with the queen) was in a time when he was diagnosed with dementia. surely they could come up with a more 'private' state funeral that gives him proper honors without too much pomp, for good measure. it is rather childish and ungrateful to not do so.

edit. i just read that it was his wish not to have a state funeral. shame, but i guess it was his choice.

A private funeral was the express wish of the prince. I am glad the Court is respecting that.

Have been there once. As far as i remember it can only be visited during a guided Tour and not people strolling there alone.

F&M and J&M and all the children came out to see the flowers and tributes people left on the courtyard.

Afterwards, F&M and the children walked home across the courtyard. I assume J&M and family went back in to drive home.

Touching to see the family at the doorstep and Queen Margrethe smiling when looking at the floral tributes...

As always thank you Muhler!! You are the best reporter the Royal Forums has from there!!

Tarlita · #**193** 02-15-2018, 07:02 AM

The flowers looked lovely and the candles too. Looks like he is getting a lovely send off.
Thank you Muhler for the BT link. And the information. Thanks to others also for contributing.

Muhler · #**194** 02-15-2018, 07:12 AM

M&F have been outside Amalienborg looking at the flowers people have left there.
Their children were there too.

Pics and clips will no doubt follow.

Hannelore · #**195** 02-15-2018, 07:12 AM

Thanks for your thorough explanations Muhler (as always!)

I see Mary's wearing the diamond brooch she received from Henri in her early days as a princess. Apropriate.

Muhler · #**196** 02-15-2018, 08:10 AM

Had to go for a while, our Sanne decided it was time to walk dad. - She insisted...

Here is a TV2 clip of the DRF, minus QMII, going out on Amalienborg square to look at the flowers.

Rørte prinser og familier mødte danskerne på Amalienborg - TV 2

It was reported that Joachim got visibly moved and was comforted by his wife. When they walked inside it looked to me like Marie was very saddened. - No wonder. Apart from being a no doubt loving father-in-law PH, must also have been a link to France.
I notice that Isabella is again seen holding dad's hand. It's funny with children, when it really matters they tend to turn to a particular parent. Perhaps she is daddy's girl, just as QMII was.

The comments by the Daily Mail's readers are disgraceful. Most of them seem to imply that the Queen is happy or even "ecstatic" (as one reader put it) with her husband's passing.

Many of them are certifiable nutcases. I rarely bother reading them.
But considering the angle Daily Mail never fails to twist their stories with, it's no wonder people get a negative view of PH.

ADDED: According to Svensk Damtidning no one from the SRF will attend PH's funeral. - I assume that will be the case with all the RF's.

Margareta Thorgren from the court press department said to Expressen that no members of the Swedish Royal family attend at the funeral because the funeral is a smalll and private ceremony with no other foreign royals attending either. King Carl Gustaf and queen Silvia travel to the Olympic Games as planned.

I am sure there will be some kind of memorial at a later stage with royal attendance.
