Crown Prince Frederik's 50th Birthday Celebrations: May 2018

[Stefan]

M&F and QMII are now greeting the guests.

The first are members of the court, including the Ladies-in-waiting. They are "uniformed", partly of practical reasons, partly because it's practical and partly because it would cost a fortune if they were to be issued new gala dresses several times a year.

Don't think we got to see this Part at other danish Galas. Nice that the show it too.

I have to say I find the Greenlandic option for white tie rather charming. He just might have the most comfortable outfit of all the guests.

Alexandra gets to don her tiara one more time!

I think I just caught a glimpse of Countess Susie

 

[Charlotte_Aster]

The lady in green might have given the most horrible/awkward curtsey ever. When in doubt go small, not big and don't try to imitate CPss Mary, she is a pro..

 

[Mbruno]

The Danish court is so old-fashioned. I really like it !

 

[Muhler]

There are around 400 guests, so lot of handshaking!

But then you can have a look at the dresses again.

At the end of the evening there will be dancing, including les lanciers.
But I doubt we are going to see that.

 

[tihkon2]

Has anyone seen Princess Elisabeth?

 

[Charlotte_Aster]

Has anyone seen Princess Elisabeth?

She is not on the guest list.

Poor Ingolf seems to be taking one for the team with that table partner...

 

[Muhler]

Poor Ingolf seems to be taking one for the team with that table partner...

Who did he get? Not Annemette Fogh?

Helle Reedtz-Thott is as usual a head-turner! Vuf!

Who is his table partner?

 

[Lumutqueen]

Who's the woman in the off the shoulder white dress with tiara on her head?

 

[Danish_Royalist]

No, Inger Støjberg

 

[Charlotte_Aster]

I have to say QMargrethe is really providing a challange for the ladies who did not practice their curtseys enough. An elegant yurtsey is difficult enough when you are greeting a standing person, add a chair and it's a whole new story..

Oh dear, Nikolai looks positively terrified.

 

[Archduchess Zelia]

Who did he get? Not Annemette Fogh?

The wicked witch of the government... I'm sorry, a certain... red-headed minister.

 

[Muhler]

The wicked witch of the government... I'm sorry, a certain... red-headed minister.

Ah.

Well, at least Støjberg won't start dancing on the table...

Nikolai looks like Bambi caught in the headlights of a truck. A big truck!

 

[tihkon2]

Looks like some kind of necklace on Marie Chantal's head.

Just saw one of Mary's sisters. Is her brother there as well?

Camilla of Bourbon-Two Sicilies looks nice!

 

[Lumutqueen]

I like that Nikolai is seated next to Marie-Olympia.

Who's the lady in green who walked in after MM and Haakon?

 

[Muhler]

The foreign adjutants are being presented now.

 

[Mbruno]

Nice close-up of Nikolai's hair !

 

[Charlotte_Aster]

Nikolai (poor boy):

[Muhler]

Stand by for royal processions.

Wonder if it will be the full fanfare?

And finally the DRF and that will be to a fanfare.

He looks good. Understandably a bit nervous ?

 

[Mbruno]

How nice to see the Connaught ruby tiara again ! It's been a while, hasn't it ?

 

[Charlotte_Aster]

Who's the lady in green who walked in after MM and Haakon?

Hereditary Princess Sophie of Liechtenstein

 

[Lumutqueen]

Hereditary Princess Sophie of Liechtenstein

Thank you

There's a man wearing what appears to be a white hoodie, but i doubt it is, on Frederik's table. Can anyone tell me who it is?

 

[CrownPrincePingo]

Victoria made eye contact with WA as she walked by and was like, "Hey, again," and gave this cute little half-assed curtsy that she didn't have to do. lol Love her.
