Danish New Year Courts: 2025 -


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
CP Christian's elephant collar did belonged to Prince Henrik?
 
Spectacular to see Christian at his first banquet! Definitely the star of the show – fairly certain he got the biggest cheer of the evening and I love the he made sure to return the favour with a mighty wave 😄

I know they were following protocol but I can't help thinking it would've been lovely (and probably a bit less daunting) for Christian to have arrived with QMII. An added bonus of that would've been a hand for QMII to lean on – unfortunately, I think it looked like her back caused her a lot of pain.

It will indeed be interesting to see if Isabella already makes her debut next year. I was originally leaning towards no because I think she'll be awarded a bit more freedom than Christian and like Christian last year, she won't yet have completed her upper secondary education in 2026. On the other hand, unlike Christian in 2024, she is the daughter of the monarch, and I can also imagine her and Christian arriving together.

I had wondered if Isabella finished her secondary schooling this year or next year. Had she finished this year, then I would have been 99% certain she would be there in 2026. But now that she is finishing in 2026, I think it'll be 2027 before we see her
 
Great Pictures of the King and the Queen with the Crown Prince Christian. They looked happy and proud !
He change a lot but no one is handsome as Henri de Monpezat was he was young. (the Son in Law everybody wanted)
 
Will there be a reception for the special forces, etc in the next few days? I remember there being a reception after the New Year Reception but haven't seen anything here about that for this year.
 
:previous: I've listed it at the Calendar :flowers:

January 6th
King Frederik and Queen Mary
will attend the New Year's Court for the Supreme Court Judges, the Royal Life Guards and the Guard House Regiments at Christian VII's Palace, Amalienborg

January 6th
King Frederik and Queen Mary
will attend the New Year's Court for the Diplomatic Corps at Christiansborg Palace

January 7th
King Frederik and Queen Mary
will attend the New Year's Court for the Armed Forces and Emergency Planning Agency Grade I, II and III, as well as representatives of major country organisations and royal patronages at Christiansborg Palace
 
It was the Queen's flag that was on the car that drove the Royal Couple to their first New Year's reception.
A nice touch.
oh wow - that's a lovely touch there. It would normally be the King's flag right? Just more proof that they are a true team as King and Queen - just like Frederik has said they are on more than one occasion.
 
That's just weird imho. Frederik is the monarch, not Mary.

The only acceptable reason would be for Frederik's flag that was recently changed not to be ready yet.
 
Not to worry, upon further investigation (looking at photos and videos of Frederik in uniform), it looks like Mary's flag was on the left side of the car but the King's on the right.
Thanks Polyesco! Phew, crisis averted thank goodness!! And that is a great photo of the King. I still think that it is a lovely touch that her flag is included as well - shows, IMO, their unity, stance as being a strong team and royal couple.

Thank you so much for the video link. I’ve never seen the ambassadors before and most of them were interviewed in English
 
I so enjoy the New Your Court for the Diplomatic Corps. It's a delight to see so many traditional attires and it's good they will wear and have an opportunity to do so. Makes the whole thing so much more merry, interesting and colorful.

A most interesting article about the gala-dress for the ladies at the court. Or perhaps rather their uniform.
We've gone more or less full circle, from women wearing a feminine version of the standard uniform, to a a unisex version (and that didn't suit anyone) to now a distinctly female uniform.
Life would be boring if there weren't any distinction between the genders.
 
The husband of the Canadian ambassador was wearing a kilt. They were delightful

They look great, video of Frederik's speech

Their first diplomatic reception as Royal Couple

It looks like it caught Mary's eye. video the royal couple greeting the Canadian ambassador and husband
Fik anerkendende nik fra dronning Mary: Måske mindede det hende om John Donaldson
 
Such a lot of Medals on HM Uniform . He just started as King , perhaps a second row for the coming Medals.
 
Here is a post from the DRF Instagram page

Prince Joachim in his role as Defence Industry Attaché has been among the guests as well today:






 
Yesterday there were 2 courts. The second one (for the diplomatic corps) was held in the same palace, Christiansborg Palace.
 
Photos from today's reception:

 
They both looked fantastic. Lovely to see Prince Joachim attend as well. I believe with today's receptions, that concludes all the "first" of the new reign of King Frederik and Queen Mary. What a jampacked year it has been and they've done a wonderful job! QMII can be nothing but happy and proud I would imagine!

Wonderful video! Is that the throne room where the photos on the change of throne date were taken?
