Hmm... I'm normally very fond of the combination of boots and short skirts - something about the 70s and ABBA I suppose - but this time...
A least the guests pictured are not outrageously dressed, outlandish perhaps, but not outrageous.
And to me King Frederik looks like someone who'd much rather nod off in front of the TV with his feet up. Which is something I dare say most men their 50s prefer to do on a Tuesday evening.
 
Starting next year, the awards will be known as the Royal Couple Awards
 
The show will be broadcast on the 9th, but we can read about some of the moments. The name change was announced and I like what they said,
"- Tonight we say goodbye to the Crown Prince Couple Awards and welcome something new. Because it doesn't end here for us, said Queen Mary, before King Frederik took over.
- We have got new titles. But we carry our values with us. That is why we will continue to support social initiatives, art and culture, and communities that bind us together, said Frederik."

The prize for communities will be new in 2025.

Frederik and Mary both seem to have fun and bring joy to this event and the organizations they honor.
20 years on, what a great wedding present this was. so many organizations honored.

Yes. They've really used the wedding gift they received to highlight the work of so many organizations and artists doing good work including the prize providing funds to assist them. Now they've added a community prize further showing their commitment to community work/projects. I like the way they went about growing the CPC (and next year the RC) prize. It was not announced as some grandiose thing or that they were going to end this issue or that issue...they used their profile and the gift they received to really highlight the work of others in Denmark/Greenland. It has always been about the recipients (being the focus of the show, the videos made about their work and the time they get to give a speech when winning). I also like how every year it has been held in a different location in DK.
