Danish Royal Family Pictures, Part 1

[Tarlita]

I agree with you gerry, yes he is missed.
But you will have to educate me as to what a soi - disant means. Please.

It is pouring down today here in DK, so BB has compiled a gallery of mainly DRF members in the rain: https://www.billedbladet.dk/kongelige/se-billederne-kongelige-i-regnvejr

No one, as in no one at all, comes close to QMII though!
Even though PH, albeit accidentally, comes close... ?

 

[Muhler]

I found this super resolution photo of QMII on the job, from 2013 I think:
Spektrum Arkitekter | H.M. Dronningen besøgte Røsnæs Rundt[auto_group1]/0/

Dear Mr Muhler, We saw pictures of the Theater Event where Crown Princess was close to the Wall to allow the Queen to reach her seat.
It seems that the Queen needed help , how is her health now ? (back pains ?)

Dear Mr Muhler, We saw pictures of the Theater Event where Crown Princess was close to the Wall to allow the Queen to reach her seat.

Well, she is clearly getting older.

It has now become a normal thing for her to sit at formal events, like greeting guests and when she walks she is clearly a little unsteady. (I don't think it helps that she has no longer been able to practice ballet weekly for a number of years now.
But her mind is still sharp though!

BB has uploaded a video from 1955, showing the royal family at home.
No doubt as a continuation of the docu about Frederik IX that was aired the last time tonight on TV.
https://www.billedbladet.dk/nostalgi/gensyn-video-hjemme-fra-kongefamilien

The clip is mute.

I see tweens haven't changed since 1955 - wolfing down cookies at every opportunity.

We need a little smile.
And PH was good at making us smile.

Here are photos of PH, from a New Year party where he is dressed up as arguable one of the most loved crooks in Danish movie history, Bøffen - which can best be translated to Knuckles, or as he is known in German, Dumme Schwein.
First PH:

Then the real thing:

https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/atwZFvmA6VogEdUzKQA3aojSNE7.jpg

Bøffen, was a recurring character in a series of most beloved criminals, Olsen Banden = The Olsen Gang.
The leader of the gang has had the road leading to one of the major prisons in DK named after him - after a suggestion by an inmate. A singular honor.

A short clip with Bøffen and a member of the gang, no understanding of Danish required.

Hey
The national anthem of Denmark is called 'Der er et yndigt land', which in English means 'There is a Lovely Country'. It was adopted in 1835. The lyrics have been written by Adam Oehlenschläger and the music has been composed by Hans Ernst Krøyer.Culture in Denmark - Confidus Solutions

Here is a film clip from 1940 of Christian X with his grandchildren Elisabeth, Margrethe and Ingolf: https://filmcentralen.dk/museum/danmark-paa-film/klip/christian-x-med-bornebornene

This site is the Danish official newsreel/documentary archive: https://filmcentralen.dk/museum/danmark-paa-film

Try for example to type: kongefamilien in the search field and you will come up with this: https://filmcentralen.dk/museum/dan...ch_api_views_fulltext=kongefamilien&type=alle

Or other words like: Prinsesse Margrethe, prinssesse Ingrid, Kong Frederik and so on.

While looking for photos for the interior thread, I stumbled across these photos. Enjoy.

I love the way the Queen and Prince Henrik would show their love for each other. From your post 224.
Just nice gentle little touches between them is so heartwarming.

Splendid photo from 1984: Queen Margrethe II and Prince Henrik on an official visit to Lisbon in Portugal with their two sons - Princes Frederik and Joachim.

I did not know that Prince Frederik and Prince Joachim had participated in the state visit to Portugal.

A DRF mix on this quiet Sunday.

Mary is so very often compared to Queen Ingrid. I don't know how old Queen Ingrid was when this photo was taken. But people IMO tended to look older back then:
https://cdn.ebs.newsner.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2020/04/margrethe7.jpg

QMII had an unfortunate habit of tripping back in the 70's. I can't remember off hand whether she broke her arm here:

Early on in their marriage, when M&F still lived at Kancellihuset at Fredensborg they strolled into the nearby town to see a local play. Here captured by a local photographer:

My favorites among the DRF children are Josephine and Athena, simply because they are full of mischief when together - and because it will be interesting to compare them as they grow up.

Here a facial expression from Athena while giving one of her first TV-interviews:

With her older and more serious brother.

And here is a folder with 88 pics of mainly Josephine and Athena entertaining the crowd.
In contrast to Amalienborg the crowd is much closer at Marselisborg.

I always enjoy the one picture I saw of Margrethe drawing for something on her hands and knees on the stage. Simply because sovereigns are not usually thought to do that. But with her, of course, I get the feeling that wasn't a one-off.

How awful that she used to end up on the ground involuntarily; I guess it was due to her leg? I'm glad that doesn't happen these days. It would be quite dangerous at her age.

 

[Muhler]

Indeed, it isn't a one off.

I know what photo you mean, can't find it right now, so here's a photo of QMII as an extra: https://images.jfmedier.dk/images/b...a93c_1_90_0_0_1920_1080_1440_810_581c1101.jpg

These pictures are amazing! I love the black and white ones. Princess Margrethe and Princess Benedikte - that was so sweet!

It's okay; I know the one you mean because I know it's linked from the forums somewhere, which is how I saw it originally.

Is there really one of young Joachim dressed like a chicken?
