Princess (later Queen) Margarethe looks like she's going to throw her bouguet to the crowd. Can you imagine all the eligible danish women running to catch it?
From Billed-Bladet online: Queen Margrethe attending an exhibit in Norway. There are more pictures of this particular event with Queen Sonja and Queen Anne-Marie also in attendance in the Norwegian royals section.
Do you notice how yellow Queen Margrethe's teeth are? All those years of smoking, I guess. I wonder if she is also a big caffeine drinker? I know that has been a big problem for me personally.

Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik have several dogs of this breed, I think. What is the particular breed called and do the Queen and Prince breed these dogs or what? They seem to have many of them.
I found this on an issue of newsweek magazine about Europe's monarchy.
DENMARK
• Queen Margrethe’s annual $6.75 million allowance contributes to the maintenance of the royal family. EuroBusiness has estimated that the family also has a relatively modest fortune of $15 million in an investment fund. However the palace — which refuses to release details of the royals’ wealth — says this is "too high."

Queen Margrethe always looks fresh in her pictures. She wears a smile and whaen she is serious it shows how intelligent she is like when she talks, the way her hands move....
I am just wondering why do royals when they have "gloves" they just bring it and they don't use it.. Maybe it makes their hands feel hot.

One glove is off - held in the left hand to keep the right hand "naked" to shake hands with others - noticed Queen Elizabeth keeps both her gloves on while shaking hands ?
www.ibl.se - This was an opportunity, the Danish Prince consort Henrik couldn't let go by. In the Danish town Svendborg in the South of the island Fyn, 212 wooden yachts from 8 different countries were gathered to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the 'Danish Club for older Yachts' as well as the 750th birthday of the town of Svendborg.

Denmark's arty Queen Margrethe shows own work in new exhibition
COPENHAGEN (AFP) - Denmark's Queen Margrethe is to display a collection of her work as an amateur painter in a new exhibition in the southern city of Odense, the museum announced.
The show, entitled "The Soul of Landscape" comprises 31 oil paintings, 21 watercolours and 11 drawings, a spokeswoman at the Kunsthallen Brandts Klaedefabrik museum told AFP.
The 63-year-old monarch has been painting since the 1980s, and her work has already been shown in museums around the world.
She often asks her husband, French-born Prince Henrik, for his views, and once said of him: "He is my first critic, also the toughest."
The Queen also carries out illustration work, and designs stage backdrops for theatre and television.
The show closes on January 18, when it will move to the Waldemarsudde museum in Stockholm, which was home to another artistic monarch, prince Eugen of Sweden, at the turn of the last century.
