Danish State Visit to Sweden: May 6 - 7, 2024

* *

This is the thread dedicated to the introductory state visit of King Frederik X and Queen Mary of Denmark to Sweden.

It will take place from May 6 to May 7, 2024, the Danish court announced today.

When The King and The Queen travel on Their Majesties’ first official state visit to Sweden at the beginning of May, it will, at the same time, kick off a major tour around the Northern region. After the visit to Sweden, a state visit to Norway follows, after which The King and The Queen will visit the Faroe Islands and Greenland in June and July.

The first state visits will provide the occasion for the new King and Queen to meet with the sovereigns in Sweden and Norway, and they will thus mark the close relations between the Nordic monarchies.

May is a really lovely month for State Visits

Looking forward to it, but Pity that it is only a 2 Day Visit. Wonder if Prince Daniel will then finally get the Order of the Elephant which he should, but not sure as he so often got lesser Orders recently.

Lovely to see that the royal yacht will be used ! ”Dannebrog” always makes spectacular entrances when it comes to Stockholm.

Hopefully the Swedish royal barge ”Vasaorden” will be used then to bring the Danish King and Queen to shore like in the good old days ?

It will be interesting to see how the Official welcome looks like this time. Not that often anymore that the Official guests arrive by ship.

As Dannebrog usually dock by the quay down the Palace when on visit I guess they will do the same this time. Perhaps the royal barge Vadaorden is used to take the Royal Couples to an expected Official luncheon in the City Hall, as it was done for the Japanese Emperor in 2000.

It will be very interesting to see how they do A lot depends on what there is time for i think as it is only a 2-day state visit and the schedule will probably be super tight…

The 2:nd day is usually spent in another swedish city but i wonder if that’s possible now as they come with a boat and not by plane ? Though there is ofcourse the possibility that KFX and QM may go back to Denmark by plane while the crew takes home ”Dannebrog”
