Nothing spectacular about the guestlist, except Rane Villerslev, the manager of the National Museum.
He and his twin brother are always interesting to listen to when they talk about their respective fields: National history and DNA research.

And a couple of women as well. There have been calls for including more women at these hunts.
And considering that an increasing And not insignificant number of Hunter in DK are women, it's not unreasonable. Also because these hunts used to be a kind og "old boys" gettogethers.

Is it just the light or has the King's hair become far more grey, yes white, recently?

I did read this about American Presidents: The job makes the hair grey!

Seems to be true for Kings too...

I noticed it too on one of his recent engagements.

Queen Mary attended the annual Hubertus Chase today, which marks the official end of the (horse) racing season.
With her she brought Josephine who was with a friend.
100 riders chased after two experienced riders, who each wear a foxtail on their clothing. (Fox-hunting on horseback like in the UK has never been a thing in DK. Here hunters simply use dogs to ferret out the foxes and shoot them.) That's a nod to the English tradition, but with the added guarantee that here the "foxes" run along a predicted route.
 
Here are some more photos and videos of today:

Are one or both of the other two young women relatives of Benedikte? The one with the curly hair resembles the Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg line (to me).

No, I don't think so. (Am not completely sure which young women you mean)
But I guess BB would have mentioned it if a relative of Benedikte had been present.

Josephine's friend is Summer Sandlau, daughter of friends of the King and Queen. Hyggede sig fra start til slut: Prinsesse Josephine havde sin gode veninde med i Dyrehaven

Thanks, this is the second young woman.


 
She welcomed the royals+guest and was also there at the farewell. And she is wearing a name tag. So I guess she belongs to the organizers of the Hubertus Hunt.
She is definitely neither a daughter nor a granddaughter of Benedikte.
