Nikolai and Felix have been quoted as not invited, Marie has been said to be in Washington with the kids and won’t come.

The Crown Jewels are reserved for the Queen, and normally in Denmark, that would have been the woman married to the king, not a Queen regnant like now, so Mary will be entitled to wear them, just as Queen Ingrid did.

I was shocked when I heard. But then… her back surgery aside, I think it really has been thinking about what is best for Denmark that has been making her decision. And, occasions of state and public relations for Denmark where she cannot participate as much, will probably have influenced her...

I can’t help but think that the situation of ML in Norway may have factored in in a huge way - even though she gave up the HRH when she started working, she has still been using the Princess-title to market herself, and ultimately that caused negative PR impact on the RF. That, and the timing...

The timing is really odd. It would have made more sense to do it when they first added the Monpezat-titles, or when the kids applied for permission to marry. Not just randomly in a jubilee year. But it may well be that Margrethe don’t want Frederik to deal with potential backlash over...

There is an EasyJet about to land at Aberdeen now, that was delayed from London for about three hours, and I wonder if more grandchildren might be onboard that.

"Ingrid Jespersen"'s school is also a high school, so (presumably) if she is happy there, she would stay on and do the high school part as well.

Honestly, it is the only way they could do it given the report, their positions and the Mary foundation's work in general. A problem might be, from what I gather, that the admissions to the high schools in Copenhagen and the region, have already been completed for 2022, so if Isabella ends up...

No, she seems to have aged a bit in the past year(s). Since she has dyed her hair for so long, it is hard to fathom that she turns 85 this year, and is older than Queen Margrethe, but watching the coverage yesterday, she suddenly looked a bit lost, yes.

Probably more about age rather than anything else in this case. If the politician was addressing the king, I somewhat of doubt he would have done it. King's speech...

Harald and Sonja have declined quite a bit in the past year, they looked a lot older in the procession walking in. The menu - google translated: Carrot tartare Tarragon mayonnaise Horseradish and apples *** Asparagus and scallops Pickled ginger Elderflower from Slottsparken Raspberry and...

Haakon and Martha Lorentzen. (entered at 20:01)

It would be interesting if Elisabeth was also wearing a tiara from their mutual Swedish great grandmother, Princess Ingeborg, as I assume not all her jewels ended in Norway, but, they probably would have been familiar to Belgian royal watchers and worn before? I saw (I think) Morten Borg...
