Danish Royal Family, Current Events Part 6: June 2020 -

[maria-olivia]

Is it normal the Consort Queen does not salute the members of the Army who where inside ?

 

[Luc122]

A great event, all dressed so well

 

[Muhler]

Is it normal the Consort Queen does not salute the members of the Army who where inside ?

Inspecting the honor guard?
Yes.
King Frederik outranks both Queens and when he is present he will formally take command of the honor guard and inspect it.

Queen Mary inspecting the honor guard, would be like a captain doing the job of a colonel, while the colonel is standing right there. That would never happen.

DRF Instagram has posted a lovely video of the royal couple and guests dancing the Lanciers. I give an "A" for effort!!

Indeed. Some will have learned to dance Les Lanciers in high school - an forgotten all about it. Few master that dance and few of those attend a ball at the court.
But it's a merry and active dance and because most are terrible at it, it's a way to lift the mood and have fun. It also release a lot of tension and nervousness, and that's when the party takes off.

Love it! Queen Mary seemed relieved she remembered the choreography!
The King moved so confidently like he's been doing this dance his life.

I can only imagine Queen Margrethe enthusiastically cheering on the side!

Wasn't there a Flag Day where they were still the CP Couple where Frederik was in hospital after back surgery and Mary attended solo and did inspect the guard?

 

[Muhler]

Yes.
And she has inspected honor guards a number of times.

 

[crm2317]

What a lovely video, seems like an enjoyable evening for all.

I must say, I really enjoy the slick videos on Instagram that the DRF are producing.

I must say, I really enjoy the slick videos on Instagram that the DRF are producing.

I have the same reaction and it is particularly impressive that the video came out so quickly after the event.

I also like the mix of modern and tradition when Les Lanciers is danced. At first I thought that just the royals that observe Les Lanciers but according to Muhler's post above, some may have learned it in high school, so it is good to hear that it still has a place in general Denmark lifestyle and may have been familiar to some before the night.

 

[maria-olivia]

Queen Margrete entered alone and greated the honor Guard , Queen Mary not ?

 

[Muhler]

Queen Margrete entered alone and greated the honor Guard , Queen Mary not ?

Queen Mary cannot inspect the honor guard when she is accompanying her husband. There can only be one in charge.

 

[Archduchess Zelia]

In Mary and Frederik's quadrille for Lanciers were: actress Hella Joof and her husband (who also happens to be one of Frederik's military buddies from the Frogman Corps), permanent secretary for the Ministry of Culture Dorte Nøhr Andersen and her partner, and artist Jakob Fenger and his partner.

At Mary's table (clockwise) were: chef de cuisine of Restaurant Jordnær, Eric Kragh Vildgaard (to her left); documentarist Lea Glob Monies; author Thomas Korsgaard; artistic director of the Danish National Opera, Anne Barslev; architect Søren Pihlmann; visual artist Cathrine Raben Davidsen; and actor Morten Hee Andersen (to Mary's right).

At Frederik's table (clockwise) were: actress Josephine Park (to his left); lead singer of The Minds of 99, Niels Brandt; game producer Helena Sokol; Minister for Culture, Jakob Engel-Schmidt; artistic director of the Royal Danish Ballet, Amy Watson; road racing cyclist Michael Mørkøv; and museum director of Den Gamle By, Julie Rokkjær Birch (to Frederik's right).

At QMII's table (clockwise) were: artistic director of the Royal Danish Theatre, Kasper Holten (to her left); production designer Jette Lehmann; cellist Andreas Brantelid; artistic director of the National Museum of Denmark, Ulla Tofte; principal dancer Sebastian Kloborg; actress Hella Joof; and museum director of Moesgaard Museum, Mads Kähler Holst (to QMII's right).

As I suspected I really don't know many of these names. But the setting at QMII's table, now those are people I know of. I think QMII would have been delighted with the choices of conversation she could have!
Ballet, scenography, history and archeology and all round conversation with Hella Joof. - The only one who may be a little bit out could be the cellist.

Queen Mary looks smashing, almost retro.

The evening of the 4th May is the night of the Liberation Message, while 5th May is Liberation Day (and a flag-day), because that was the day the German forces in DK (except the island of Bornholm surrendered.
At 20.30 everybody who could (including German soldiers BTW, they wanted relatively reliable news too and some by now understood enough Danish to understand what was said.) tuned into to the BBC Danish news.
It was the usual mix of frontline news of Allies advancing and stories about shooting, sabotage, Schallburgtage (counter sabotage and liquidations carried out by Danish collaborators. Collaborator to this day has a negative meaning in Europe.) and general disorder. There was near anarchy in DK by now, there was no professional police, they had all been taken or gone underground in 1944 (as was the case with the husband of an aunt of mine) and the Resistance had all but been rolled up, but new groups sprang up everywhere. Crime was high.

Then after five minutes a long silence... And then the message came. News coming in from the HQ of Field-marshal Montgomery, saying that the German forces in Holland (we call the Netherlands Holland,) North-West Germany and Denmark have surrendered.
And Denmark exploded with joy! The German troops left their posts and returned to their barracks. It was over for them as well.
The resistance moved out, donned what weapons and equipment they had, and their Resistance armbands (In compliance with the Geneva Convention, that made them combatants) the were hardly a heroic sight! Very few would survive the casting for a Hollywood movie, but they looked what they were: ordinary people turned heroes.
The collaborators were desperate though. They had backed the wrong horse. It was the end of the road and they had nowhere to go. Some committed suicide. Many tried to slip away, anywhere, unnoticed, a few succeeded. Most were rounded up in the following days along with everybody else who were known or suspected of being collaborators and of course the "field-mattresses" girls and women who associated with Germans. Quite a few made a last stand here and there and had to be smoked out by the Resistance, Danish troops coming in from Sweden and the first British troops coming in as well. Some turned snipers and wanted to take as many with them as possible. - In the days after the Liberation hundreds of Danes were killed and wounded in the fighting.
And now, after five long years, it was time for Revenge (and for some to show publicly that they had of course always been against the Germans...). Hundreds of people were rounded up and transported through the streets in open trucks with their arms high in the air, along a jeering, hostile crowd, not knowing what fate awaited them. Would then end up in camps? By placed up against a wall? Or end up dangling from a lamppost like Mussolini and his mistress?
And while that happened the "field-mattresses" got a public haircut. Their hair was cut off while surrounded by a baying hateful crowd. They were the lucky ones. Others were stripped naked, had swastikas painted on their bodies and chase through the streets. It was nothing short of a public rape.
I feel sorry for most of the girls, but I cannot find it in me to be judgemental against those who took part in these haircuts, one of them BTW being my mother. I didn't live back then and as such I cannot fully understand the anger, fear and hatred there was. It was not a time for forgiveness and there was little of it these days. Later yes, but not during these first days.

Anyway, on this night dusk fell around 21.00 as it does at this time of year. And the hated blackout-curtains were among the first to fall. They were burned in the streets. Light were again seen in the windows. - And that was an unforgettable sight in Sweden as well. Suddenly the Danish coast, that had been dark for five years, lit up.
And from this night it's to this day still custom to place a pair of candles in the windows on the 4th May when darkness sets in.
Also here in the Muhler home. - Not that candles is a particular issue for us, in fact we get a handwritten thank-you card from the candle-manufactures each Christmas.

At Amalienborg the Germans guards left their posts and for a few hours until the Resistance took over the DRF were left unguarded. It was also on this evening that QMII woke up to all the commotion and she was given a fizzy drink, a real treat!
There will also be candles in the windows at the Royal residences tonight.

I know, I tell this story each year and I will keep telling this story for as long as I'm active here on TRF. If for no other reason than respect for the those who fought, suffered and died in the fight against Fascism. It is unfortunately popping up again these days.

Thank you Muhler. The story needs to be retold. We can never forget our story. Viven current events it is obvious that many have not learned anything from history as it is repeating itself.

Yeah it's on TV. Mindelunden = The remembrance Grove is a place where members of the Resistance were executed and some of the more poignant parts of the ceremony was the reading of the last letters some of those were executed wrote.

This morning, June 20, King Frederik and Crown Prince Christian attended the State Council at Christiansborg Palace. Christian "took his permanent seat in the State Council for the first time since":

This morning, a State Council was held at Christiansborg Palace. His Majesty the King chaired (chaired) the meeting of the State Council, which consists of all ministers in the government, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as the heir apparent to the throne, took his permanent seat in the State Council for the first time since the abdication last year. At the meeting, His Royal Highness signed a declaration pursuant to Section 8 of the Constitution stating that he “will unwaveringly comply with the Constitution”. Shortly after his 18th birthday, the Crown Prince signed a similar declaration in the State Council on 14 November 2023, but the Crown Prince has since become heir apparent to the throne, and the declaration is therefore being made again.

[An Ard Ri]

The Crown Prince has very much impressed me with how smoothly he has taken his new duties and role since the abdication of his grandmother.

 

[Muhler]

Absolutely. He has really grown into his role. His stint in the army where he acted as second in commabd of his platoon during the last and crucial exercise no doubt helped instill even more a sende of responsibilty.

 

[Hans-Rickard]

It is easy to tell that Christian comes from a stable and loving family who guides him and helps him gently getting acustomed to his new role… No doubt his own calm personality and education helps a lot too

This afternoon Crown Prince Christian joined his parents King Frederik and Queen Mary at the opening of the exhibition 'King's Child' at the Koldinghus in Kolding.

His attendance was added to the calendar only this morning.

They usually have very god exhibitions at Koldinghus. Koldinghus is a castle. No fanfares there. It was meant to be a castle and was build as a castle. And very much as a typical Baltic castle - of bricks. So the place in itself is worth a visit. It's also soaked in history. It's location meant that a lot of meetings and gatherings took place there and is Danish monarchs were constantly on the move through the realm until 1660 it was a place the kings stayed at regularly.

Roofs were standard on Baltic castles. In contrast to say Norman or English castles, where sentries walked behind the battlements, exposed to wind and weather - and seen, sentries on Baltic castles walked along a passage right under the roof - hidden, out of sight. Many Baltic castles didn't have a curtain wall at all. A rampart, often with a palisade at the top, more meant as an obstacle, then down to a moat and from the moat up to the walls. All the time while being under fire from crossbows. Longbows were hardly used at all. Took way too long to train a longbow-archer, but a crossbow could be used by teenage boys, even women.
The many windows would not have been there in medieval times. So the castle would have looked forbidding from a distance. And in contrast to a lot of European medieval castles, which were often chalked in various colors (pink, yellow and red were well-liked colors) Baltic castles were red like the bricks they were made of.
Notice the small round tower-like structure on the outside near the corner in the last image. That's one of the - ahem - bathrooms.

This afternoon Crown Prince Christian joined his parents King Frederik and Queen Mary at the opening of the exhibition 'King's Child' at the Koldinghus in Kolding.

His attendance was added to the calendar only this morning.

Count Ingolf and Countess Sussie attended as well:

Lovely second picture with that proud-motherly look from Mary to Christian.

I agree with others, Christian has faced his new role and responsibilities very smoothly and with calm. His time in boot camp no doubt gave him a stronger foundation that will only grow when he continues his military education.
Frederik and Mary can be very proud.
Im so glad with got pictures from this State Council. Usually it's just a mention in the calendar.

Glad he join his parents at the exhibition today. The three look great. And how nice that Ingof and Sussie joined them.


From the Prime Minister
"A beautiful moment. After completing his high school diploma and serving in the military, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince participated in the Council of State today for the first time since the ascendancy. And as heir to the throne, he signed a declaration of his willingness to abide by the constitution, so that His Royal Highness can one day become king.
It is a reminder of the strong connection between our democracy and our Royal House. That another generation has joined a proud tradition of committing to the people and the rule of the people."

Link to Ritzau with some lovely photos from the opening of the exhibit yesterday. It was great to see Christian attending with his parents. Good experience for him being on the job. It is nice to see the young European heirs more on engagements and coming into their own.
