Lovely to see… It must be a long time since there was 7 royals taking part in that

 

[Blog Real]

It's good news that Christian will also participate.

When was the last time Princess Elisabeth attended btw ?

I can’t recall seeing her arrive to the new years day dinner for many years

 

[maria-olivia]

Joachim and Marie are in France in Marie's family. Will they attend this time ?

Yes, they are also listed as attendees on Jan 1st

The last few times she attended, because of her mobility issues she arrived via another door

That is for christmas… This is for new years day

 

[polyesco]

Exciting news. Christian at his first New years reception.
What a treat with the King and previous Queen attending along with the heir.

 

[Stefan]

I think until a few years ago this was also the case for the invited guests and only the RF entered through the main entrance

 

[Muhler]

It's good to see as much of the family as possible attending, and in a year or so we may hope to see Isabella as well. The mags will go crazy! A new teen princess after so many years and in full bling-bling is a wet dream come true. And by next year Christian is almost certainly still in the military, which means he will wear a gala uniform and if he by then is still in the Guards Hussars, he may look dashing - with short hair.

 

[doro]

Good to know that Crown Prince Christian will attend!

 

[sunflowers]

I’m excited that Christian will attend the New Year celebration. I hope to see all Frederick and Mary children.

At what time the new year Celebration . Will it be in live ?

 

[Muhler]

At what time the new year Celebration . Will it be in live ?

Yes, keep an eye on DR.dk, BT.dk, TV2.dk and Billedbladet.dk all should have some sort of live coverage. The DR1 livestream is the best coverage.
DR1 will begin sending from 18.45. That's in little less than 2 hours after this is posted.
The guests will begin arriving from then on and the DRF will arrive around 19.45. There are quite a few of them this year.

I guess Christian will arrive together with the King and Queen. Otherwise would he arrive before or after Queen Margrethe? He is the Crown Prince but she is still a Majesty.

I actually wondered too and I think that he will arrive with QMII and escort her.
I think this will be the order
Benedikte
Joachim and Marie
QMII and Christian
Frederik and Mary

Could be. But then he would need first to go Christian IX. Palace, as they usually come from their residence at Amalienborg.

 

[Alisa]

I thought Joachim and Marie were in France?

 

[blooms_rulers]

I guess Christian will arrive together with the King and Queen. Otherwise would he arrive before or after Queen Margrethe? He is the Crown Prince but she is still a Majesty.

But the day after the accession, when they arrived at the Folketing, he arrived after Queen Margrethe and was seated on the first row, where she was seated on the second row with Benedikte and Joachim. Christian might accompany Margrethe, but it seems like they rank him above her. (In fact, on the royal website, she's listed below all of Frederik's children, which doesn't denote rank, but is interesting.)

I thought Joachim and Marie were in France?

That was for Christmas.

So the arrivals have started, and it appears the Lene Balleby and another woman are not wearing the all blue dress, but are dressed similarly in a white silk blouse and a blue skirt?

I believe Princess Benedikte's lady in waiting wore a dark blue velvet gown, as well. Not sure whether that's her own selection of part of the new uniform choices women now have.

....

Margrethe arrived before Christian, wearing the floral aigrette, so I guess she hasn't handed it over, or perhaps she's wearing it because Mary is wearing the emerald parure and doesn't need it tonight. Christian arrived without his parents.

 

[Stefan]

So we have the answer. Christian arrived alone in a separate Car but after Queen Margrethe

Margrethe arrived before Christian, wearing the floral aigrette, so I guess she hasn't handed it over, or perhaps she's wearing it because Mary is wearing the emerald parure and doesn't need it tonight. Christian arrived without his parents.

I guess the Jewels in the Family Trust can also loaned out to a former Queen.

 

[Queen Claude]

My recollection is that as of FX's accession, Crown Prince Christian has precedence over Queen Margrethe.

 

[Sylvia M.]

Will we get to see the king and queen's entrance in the banquet hall or is this all we will get to view live?

 

[Queen Claude]

I thought that the Floral Aigrette is Margrethe's personal property, it was gifted to her by her mother.

Edit:
I am seeing that the Floral Aigrette is considered part of the Danish Royal Property Trust. I don't remember the particulars but I recall reading that it is considered Margrethe's because her mother gifted it to her. Perhaps she "controls" it for her lifetime but is not allowed to dispose of it, in other words it was gifted to Margrethe but Margrethe cannot gift it to whomever she pleases.

 

[Stefan]

Will we get to see the king and queen's entrance in the banquet hall or is this all we will get to view live?

Usually the is no e footage from inside. Not even pics. Perhpas we are lucky and they will share a few from inside too.

I thought that the Floral Aigrette is Margrethe's personal property, it was gifted to her by her mother.

No it was said that it is now part of the entailed Family foundation. Think this was revailed at the big exhibition about Margrethe's jewels in 2022

 

[Muhler]

A very serious Christian at his first New Year Court needing a little guided hand on where to go when inside.

Couldn't they get a bigger car for QMII? She could hardly get out, the poor thing. Perhaps one of the larger cars was down, they have a reputation for being untimely unreliable.
She didn't look that well to me though. It's not like her to pace past the photographers. Half the country is down with flu, a cold or Corona at this time of year.

I'm sure the Regent Couple continue the old tradition of curtsying/bowing to their guests in respect of the democracy.

Will we get to see the king and queen's entrance in the banquet hall or is this all we will get to view live?

Congratulations on your firsts posts.

No, we wont see a royal procession this time, like they do at galas. Nor will there be a camera inside banquet hall. Which is a pity because it's only illuminated with candles on this evening creating a fantastic effect.

Im very glad to see Queen Margrethe has retained use of the floral tiara (alone or shared with Mary we dont know yet), it simply suits her so well and comes from her mother, and her hairdresser knows perfectly how to fit it in her hair, and with the stunning saphires as well.

The tiara hair of Mary and Marie were very underwhelming, almost not tiara hair at all I would say. Everyone in velvet.
