| Queen Margrethe of Denmark gave her New Year speech at Christian IX’s Mansion at Amalienborg Palace. The Queen addressed many topics in her speech: climate change, loneliness, second world war, Schleswig-Holstein, Greenland and the Faroe Islands, soldiers and other civil servants, and her family. There are three tupilaks on the table, which the Queen has personally received on various occasions. Tupilak means "The Ancestor's Soul" and is a small Greenlandic figure, formed in materials such as wood, bones, teeth and antlers from reindeer. ( Full speech : Kongehuset) |
Lovely pic of the Queen ,she looks lovely in light blue and gray.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for more details around the confirmation of Prince Christian later this year, I am sure it would be as memorable as Princess Ingrid's confirmation last year.
ReplyDeleteOh that turtle is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteQueen Margrethe looks particularly regal in this picture. I don't know why. Perhaps it is her serene look, or maybe the setting. She looks very pretty in the soft blue blouse and the gray shawl. I wish we had a closer look at the pendant. The artifacts on her desk are interesting and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe Queen looks very at peace and sincere. Her outfit gives an aura of added softness, she looks beautiful. How exciting Prince Christian and his confirmation, wonderful news.
ReplyDeleteAnd what about the speeches from Elisabeth, Carl Gustaf and Harald?
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that she always does the new year's speech live...it's not taped earlier. So, it's what happens happens. This year, the queen had a cold and had to blow her nose during the speech...as natural as that is. Her outfit is very nice and relaxing, and I think she looks absolutely lovely and energized these days - AJ
ReplyDeleteMargrethe est belle dans ces couleurs gris et bleu-clair ; cela lui va à ravir. Superbe la tortue que je verrais bien sur mon bureau !
ReplyDeleteMy God bless the queen,her country,and her people.May she have long life. Proud to be Danish.
