Nope, she did not curtsey, just made a (very) slight bow to Frederik.

I was referring to when she arrived in Denmark by boat/ship where she curtseyed to the King and Queen

Do they speak English to each other?

How lovely that Princess Benedikte is also present. What order is she wearing? A lower Icelandic order?

Yes, she is wearing the Order of the Falcon, but the sash is worn incorrectly

So, it's the same as Frederik and Mary but incorrectly worn...

Just looked it up on Wikipedia and the order was issued by royal decree in 1921 by Benedikte's grandfather King Christian X - who was also king of Iceland until 17 June 1944 (1 1/2 months after Benedikte was born!).

Why is it incorrect?

 

[Somebody]

It needs to be worn over the left shoulder (see Frederik and Mary) - just like the Order of the Elephant.
