I'm afraid this is a misunderstanding; Frederik IX was born March 11th 1899 some 177 years after Fredensborg was built. Maybe you were thinking of Frederik IV who ruled from 1699 to 1730. During his reign he had 2 palaces built; Frederiksberg Palace was finished in 1703 and served as a Summer...

I think there is very good chance that the Nicolo Parure is still in the vaults collecting dust. Judging from the pictures it a quite colourful parure with blue, black, brown and reddish agates all with different motifs. Finding an outfit that would match this parure would benext to impossible...

Interesting question. I realize that you are probably looking for answer that covers the British Royal family. But I guess the conditions for the BRF compares to those of the Danish RF. The titles of the RF are given at the dicretion of the sovereign. So I don't think a prince can give up being...

As I'm sure you know the law os succession to the Danish Throne was changed in 1953. In fact more changes to the Danish Constitution were made that year one of which happens to be the Danish nationality law. I should clearify that the original text uses the term 'indfødsret' which does not...

This bit will be about the Danish Royal family. Through history most Danish Kings' spouses have come from royal or princely houses of Europe. The in-laws had titles of their own. In recent years 3 commoners have married into the DRF; Miss Alexandra Manley, Miss Mary Donaldson and Miss Marie...

Well I don't think that is the case here. If you look at the link below you will see that the Turkish order has been awarded quite generously. Order of State of Republic of Turkey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia China still awards the order of the Brilliant Jade to foreign heads of state...

I wonder if it is at all important that no orders were apparently exchanged during this state visit. HE the president was not wearing any Danish orders and QMII were not wearing the Order of the state of the republic of Turkey. I would have thought that some sort of exchange of orders would be...

Just watching the speaches at the state banquet.LIVE Tyrkiets præsident på besøg - følg gallataffel på Amalienborg | Nyheder | DR I find it a bit odd the HE the President is not wearing any Danish orders. Maybe he refuses orders for political reasons. Any thoughts?

Here's a bit of video from the airport. The last part of the video is a very clever journalist explaining the political context of the visit....it's in Danish so I guess my suggestions to ignore it are needless. Tyrkiets kontroversielle præsident besøger Danmark | Nyheder | DR

I have been searching high and low for more information about this hair piece and all I have been able to find is what little is posted on the website of Rosenborg Castle. It reads: "Crescent shaped hair ornament with brilliants and feathers of pearls. Made for Frederik VI's consort Queen Marie...

If Hungary should decide to become monarchy once again I doubt Istvan Horthy would be a serious pretender to the throne. I googled him and it seems that he converted to islam 1965 and took the name Sharif. Later he joined a spiritual movement called the 'Subud'. According to a 2011 census only...

I am sure most of you know this but I feel compelled to clearify that no one lives at Rosenborg. These days it serves as a museum. No counts and countesses of R have ever lived there. As I am sure you know the title was created for royals who by marrying without the consent of the King/Queen and...

I don't disagree with you. I heard a story about PK being late for ballet recital (or something similar) and the director of the performing company insisted that the show was repeated for PK - this was what brought on the rumour that PK had to have everything repeated. I don't think PK was...

CP Frederik is scheduled to run the Vasaloppet Sunday March 2nd. The Vasaloppet is a marathon cross country skiing race held in Sweden. It commemorates a run by King Gustav Vasa in 1520. Since 1922 the Vasaloppet has been an annual event. The distance is 90km (55miles). In 2012 the CP finished...

Hello Dee Welcome :-) Hope you'll have fun here.

Thanks An Ard Ri I already tried Wiki in every language known to me. :-) I was hoping to discover more about Sophia's Ukrainian origin.

Sophia of Minsk Sophia of Minsk/Sophia of Polotsk/Sofija Vladimirovna (1140 – 1198) Sophia was the daughter of Richeza of Poland. Some sources say her was Prince Volodar of Minsk others say Prince Vladimir of Halicz was her father. She married Valdemar the Great, King of Denmark. I wonder...

Lord of the Rings QMII's illustrations for Tolkien's Lord of the Rings was done under the pseudonym 'Ingahild Grathmer' - if you google that name you should be able to see more of her illustrations. I wonder if her passion for archeology deserves a thread of it's own. Any thoughts?

It is true that we have no arch bishops in Denmark but that role is not among QMII's duties. The bishop of Copenhagen is considered 'first among equals' so if Denmark were to have an arch bishop it would be the bishop of Copenhagen. QMII is not the head of the church per se but together with...

Yet again I feel compelled to take up a long cold thread but I find this very interesting. In this thread I have read some interesting interpretations of what the line of succession might have looked like. Most seem miss one important point; when the new law os succession was passed in 1953 it...

They only had the religious ceremony. In Denmark that is considered sufficient.

Not a silly question at all. The people's church of Denmark allows does indeed allow divorcees to remarry. It also allows same sex marriages but each vicar has the option to refuse to perform such a marriage.

Danish Throne This Throne was used for the corornation and anointing of Danish Kings from 1671-1840. Frederik III had it made in the 1660's and it was supposedly made to resemble the biblical throne of King Solomon. To make the throne even more legendary it was said that parts of it were made...

I wish QMII or CPM would be bold enough to wear this. It could look stunning. I have never seen it worn.

I am fairly new and I am at times overwhelmed by an urge to comment and answer the threads that has long been cold. :smile: The last 3 Danish monarchs (Christian X, Frederik IX & QMII) has awarded the OE to their children on the day of succession. Queen Ingrid was awarded her OE about a month...
