Annual Photo Shoots & Holidays At Gråsten Slot: 2003, 2005-2019
Lovely to see the three together indeed! Christina, Benedikte and Margrethe all share each other's elegance.

That's news to me - and most likely also to the three of them 
Christina is the sister of king Carl Gustaf and a cousin of the Danish royals; it's (Queen) Anne Marie (of Greece/the Hellenes) who is Benedikte and Margrethe's younger sister.
But I agree, it's lovely to see Christina visit her Danish cousins.

I'm not sure, but I think that Christina is the godmother of Benedikte's daughter Nathalie

Lovely to see the cousins enjoying a visit. I always like how close the Scandi royals remain.

The summer stay at Grasten Castle is over, and while The Queen has had residence at the castle, the Majesty's staff has used some very special linen pieces from 1935.

And that means QMII has left for France, to the chateau there.

That would be a wonderful holiday home as I could be wrong, but suspect the weather is much warmer there. At QM's age and general health, that would be a huge plus.
Why did I think it had been sold?

Probably because we have discussed it here on TRF. And personally I do think it will be sold, an appropriate number of years after QMII has passed away.

Thanks, Eya. - If they are lucky they should get sunshine and 24 degrees C today around Gråsten.
Ain't much of a summer we are having this July! Perhaps August will be better - when people have returned form holiday and the schools start again.

New lovely natural and authentic summer photos and greeting from the Crown Prince Family 
“A couple of wonderful memories from the summer in beautiful Gråsten.
With the desire for a continued good summer - preferably with a little more sunshine 
Photos by: The Royal House and Crown Princess Mary”
A relaxed natural royal family - with bare feets.
And such beautiful children!
Bella has grown much these months, such a beautiful natural girl she is. Christian has grown much these months as well and he looks so much like his mom now - a real Donaldson

Christian has really changed, for me he always used to look so much like Frederik but you can really see Mary in him now.
They’re all so grown up! I remember when they were born, haha.
