She looks great! Retirement agrees with her I must say. Being able to take things at her pace w/out the pressures of being monarch. Enjoying her hobbies at her leisure. I think she looks better than she has in quite a while - Less frail!

Glad to see she's recovered from her injuries.

“With your wit, diligence and compassion, you have had an impact on the social, cultural and ecclesiastical areas, which is already widely appreciated today, but which will perhaps only be fully recognized in a more historical light.”These were the words addressed to Her Majesty Queen Margrethe in the motivational speech from Chairman of the Board of Kristeligt Dagblad Mogens Madsen, when Queen Margrethe was presented with the Kristeligt Dagblads Prize 2024 at the National Museum this evening.The Kristeligt Dagblads Prize is awarded each year to a person or institution that has made a special effort in the social, cultural or ecclesiastical area.In connection with Queen Margrethe’s acceptance of the Kristeligt Dagblads Prize, Her Majesty participated in an interview with Kristeligt Dagblad earlier this month.

“With your wit, diligence and compassion you had an impact on social, cultural and ecclesiastical areas, which is widely appreciated, but will only be fully recognized in a more historical light.”
The dedication (translation courtesy of the dear Christin @christinsqueens.bsky.social) moved the Queen so much that she had trouble composing herself enough to thank KD for the award.

She definitely made her mark on the cultural sector in Denmark!

It looks like her December trips to London continue, great!

Pictured walking through Trafalgar Square … attending the National Gallery there … and the Harvey Nichols and Peter Jones department stores.

The small group travelled about the city in a minibus.

Last year I spotted HM buying Christmas cakes downstairs in Fortnum and Mason - lovely to see her at the till with her lady-in-waiting, the latter paying with a credit card!

 

[kalnel]

It's wonderful that she's able to get out and have fun doing the things she enjoys. When she abdicated, I wondered if she was about to take a bad turn, but she's had an incredibly productive year, despite her latest injury.

It is lovely to see QMII looking so well and enjoying herself. Retirement surely agrees with her. She is looking better than she has in quite a while (her unfortunate fall notwithstanding). She has enjoyed her past-times, she has had her engagements and served as regent a couple of times. It is great to see her out and about, active and enjoying herself. A well-earned and deserved retirement.

This article caught my eye irish-royalist as I’m soon going to London and Christmas is an amazing time to be there.

The translation of the article quotes the Queen as saying cognac is poured over the plum pudding … also called a plum duff in Tasmania … and set alight, and how Mary likes to have it at Christmas.

It’s a bit surreal when you see someone in real life you have previously seen in magazines or on the news, and then there they are, real people doing real things.

It must have been a nice experience, and a fun thing to tell family and friends.

 

[Hans-Rickard]

Nice to see her being accompanied by her close swedish friend since several decades Count Gustaf Trolle-Bonde…

Him being a professional expert in handcrafts and cultural history i’m sure they always have a great time whenever they hang out…

Indeed! I managed to take a sneaky photograph, but NONE of my family or friends were able to identify her as the Danish Queen - which reminds me that I am part of such a small and exclusive club!

Archeological research into textiles.
If you look at QMII in the photos, she looks like a dog who has been handed the most delicious bone imaginable.
I bet there are still nailmarks on the floor from when they dragged her away by her feet.
