On May 20, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark and Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands visited the Amager region in Denmark to attend the 500th anniversary of the presence of Dutch farmers in Denmark and the 100th anniversary of the Amager Museum. The anniversary events were celebrated with a one-year delay because of last year’s coronavirus restrictions.
In 1521, Danish King Christian II invited Dutch farmers to settle in Denmark because of their agricultural knowledge. The Dutch farmers settled in Store Magleby in Amager and in the following generations, they developed the specialized Amager farming, which is a particular way of growing vegetables.
The Queen and the Princess attended an official reception at the city hall. Thereafter, the Queen and the Princess visited the Amager Museum, and the organic farm Seerupgaard where Amager farming is still practiced.
It’s nice to see these two together on an outing that reflects the ongoing cooperation between the two countries. Their outfits are typical of each lady’s style and suit them very well. The traditional costumes worn in the group shot are simply splendid! (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteAgree with you, V.M.; these are two ladies with their own typical style.

Agree, it is nice to see the two ladies on an outing, though I'm not fond of Queen M's, outfit, it looks ok, just not something I like.
DeleteVery nice beautiful looking elder ladies.
ReplyDeleteA UFO was seen in Amager, Danmark earlier today. The police says they has had several people calling in and recorded sightings. They will report back on a later time ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are right, and it was Beatrix who landed with that UFO. Didn't the police tell that?!
DeleteWhat a fun pair of old friends, the old goes with friends. Both Ladies have a big smile, they really seem to enjoy each others company. What a great event for the Queen and Pss. Love their dress, both always in style.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting bit of history. Lovely to see these two together at this event. Love Princess Beatrix's bright blue colour choice

Thanks @Anonymous 21/5/22 06:51 for the link.
DeleteA nice video.
They seem to be having so much fun together, like two young schoolgirls.
How marvellous to see both these Royal ladies together, splendid. Both equally looking stylish and smart.
ReplyDeleteTalk about a Dynamic Duo! How wonderful to see the joint visit of these 2 wonderful ladies. Both royal ladies look great and it looks like they are having fun together. Its so good to see Princess Beatrix and her upsidedown salad bowl hats out and about! I hope there are more special events where these 2 regal ladies can work together.

Ravie de les voir se retrouver, chacune dans son propre style - La princesse Beatrix est superbe dans ce bleu roi agrémenté de noir -et toujours son incontournable modèle de chapeau ; jolies boucles d'oreilles que je crois voir en diamants/saphyr ?!
