| On December 12, 2018, Wednesday, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark held a Julegløgg event at Christiansborg Castle (Julegløgg: Christmas Drink - Glogg). In addition to the royal employees, specialists and health personnel who provided treatment service for the late Prince Henrik when he was ill, were invited to this year's Julegløgg. Crown Prince Frederik, Crown Princess Mary and their children Prince Christian, Princess Isabella, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine also attended the event. The event took place in Knights Hall at Christiansborg Castle. |
Wonderful photos of a wonderful family! But I don't understand one of the ballet-costumes. It is "Nutcracker", I think. Why the grey stains on the Mouseking? Is it mildewed?
ReplyDeleteWell, well like humans mice come along with various skin.
DeleteThe ballet scene seems to me as the famous Andersen fairy tale: The Unshakeable Lead Soldier. The author is Danish. In the story the toy lead soldier is thrown out because he misses one leg. I think the black half of the trousers symbolises this.
Deletephzs, thank you very much for this information! I thought the ballet is E.T.A. Hoffmanns Nutcracker, but of course a danish fairytale makes much more sense here! I've looked it up in Wikipedia, because I don't know so much about Andersen. I only knew his sad story about the little girl with the matches (I'm sure you know, what I mean). Are all fairytales of Andersen so sad?
DeleteUnfortunately, yes. :(
DeleteWhat a lovely event, and a beautiful setting! The Queen looks perfectly dressed for the occasion.
ReplyDeleteWish we could see more of Mary's dress.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful outfit on Queen Margrethe, such great tailoring, a subtle mix of textures, and a bit of Christmas spirit with the red jacket and blouse. Josephine looks completely adorable. This appears to have been a very happy event for all concerned.
