| Danish royal family, namely, Queen Margrethe, Crown Prince Frederik, Crown Princess Mary, Prince Joachim, Princess Marie and Princess Benedikte attended the memorial ceremony relating to the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, held at Christiansborg Palace. The Reformation, also referred to as the Protestant Reformation, was a schism from the Catholic Church initiated by publication of 95 theses by Martin Luther. Majority of Northern Europe, except Ireland, fell under the influence of Protestantism. |
First, is there a royal protocol where the lesser royals are to arrive first to be ready and greet the Queen upon her arrival? Second, I love the symbolism behind Margrethe's hats. With her smile, I dare say she does also. First the royal blue hat with the point then the purple toque seen here. The fabric is softer than the components of the german military helmet; they were conquered. World War II was won; keep smiling Margrethe!
ReplyDeleteYes, that is the protocol, king or queen comes last.
DeleteThe ladies are very elegant, although Marie could have worn blue or burgundy instead of the eternal black
ReplyDeletePrincess Benedikte is one classy lady. I really like Crown Princess Mary's outfit. Very elegant and stylish.
ReplyDeleteCPM is a bit overdone I feel, too fussy. Removing one element of the look would have improved it (plain shoes, straight skirt, no belt on the jacket). Princess Benedikte looks striking in the plum and raspberry jacket and hat.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Mary is in a way "wrong" dressed for this memorial ceremony. But it is an elegant dress.
DeleteMarie wears black for almost every events, very old fashioned and boring dressed for her age, IMO !
All the ladies look good. I think the queen is wearing that lovely blue dress she wore in Rome.
ReplyDeleteI do agree with Lucy that perhaps Mary is a bit overdone - the outfit might have been even nicer with plain black shoes , or a completely black skirt with the patterned shoes.
Princess Benedikte and Crown Princess Mary are as usual the most elegantly dress ladies of the Danish Royal Court in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteMary looks very springlike for November.
