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

 

[Somebody]

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!).

 

[Frelinghighness]

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.

This may be an odd comment , but I cannot recall any entrance to an evening affair where , even before Frederick became King , he and Mary entered arm in arm . Even on her first State dinner before their wedding they processed side by side , not actually touching . It was just something that struck me about their entrance to the Icelandic Dinner .

A big for the King. Always nice to see the special connection with Greenland.

Today the President of Iceland spoke on meeting Queen Magrethe

Præsidenten blev overrasket på slottet: Sætter ord på mødet med dronning Margrethe

Det kom som en stor og glædelig overraskelse for den islandske præsident!

"- I was very pleasantly surprised! She is a great female role model for me, said Halla Tómasdóttir, who also described the meeting as a highlight of the state visit, but she quickly added that everything had been great.
- It has honestly been like an adventure for me to be here, said the Icelandic president with a huge smile."

She actually said "like a fairy tale" (she spoke English)
