On November 21, 2024, the new official portraits of King Frederik and Queen Mary of Denmark were released. The civil portraits, taken by photographer Steen Evald in the Great Hall of Frederik VIII’s Palace at Amalienborg in Copenhagen, will be used by The Royal House of Denmark for purposes such as official trips, visits, and special events, as well as by the patronages of The King and Queen.
In April, the official gala portrait of King Frederik and Queen Mary was published. The portrait is currently being distributed to Danish embassies and consulates abroad, national institutions, and selected Danish sea vessels. It serves as the symbolic presence of the King and Queen in places where they cannot be physically present. In January, King Frederik will mark the first anniversary of his reign.
Hello, does anyone know what the pin on the king's lapel is? Good to see them looking so well 20 years on from their wedding

Belle première photo, ils sont élégants et dignes. Mary est très bien en blanc. Ses boucles d'oreilles semblent jolies.

I'm not sure what it's with portraits these days, but I miss QM's 'softness' in these photos. The king looks good.
ReplyDeleteOh, I don't know. I guess these photos will do for what they are intended. But Mary's warmth is not captured. She looks too stiff and wooden, not at all like her personality. Queen Margrethe always seemed to have a twinkle in her eyes in her formal photos. Mary's eyes are fixed, not relaxed. Frederik looks fine. I like his smile in the first photo. (Mary seems to work awfully hard, so maybe she's just exhausted!)
ReplyDeleteI disagree with Joann. I can sense Marys warmth. But then of course nobody od us knows her personally.
DeleteMinimalist.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. I wonder if the king could groom his beard a bit better or shave it off. The queen looks lovely in that shade of winter white. Love the earrings. Imprefer her hair shorter, more shoulder length
