Through the Years → Queen Mary of Denmark (826/∞) 5 March 2024 | A special royal tale... It was a bit like getting the past really close, when we visited Roskilde Cathedral yesterday afternoon. The impressive cathedral covers a royal time journey of over 500 years. From the beautiful Chapel of the Holy Three Kings with impressive tombstone for Christian 3. and Frederick 2. , over Christian 4. s magnificent tomb chapel and relatively modest coffin for the Glücksborgernes Chapel, where Christian 9. and also Frederick the 8th and Christian 10. and their queens are buried . The visit was no less lively because we had Thomas Thulstrup, museum director in the Collection of Kings, with us again as a committed tour guide. Our history and culture is an important part of who we are. We can read about it and read up on it, but it is still something very special to walk around in it, as we did yesterday afternoon in the cathedral. 🖋️📸 Kongeparret.

I forlængelse af tronskiftet den 14. januar 2024 offentliggøres nu det første officielle gallaportræt af Deres Majestæter Kongen og Dronningen.

Portrættet viser Majestæterne i galla med Elefantordenen i kæde, og fremover vil portrættet kunne ses ophængt i blandt andet statslige institutioner, herunder på danske ambassader og konsulater i hele verden samt på danske fartøjer.

Gallaportrættet er taget af fotograf Steen Evald i Grønne Sal i De Kongelige Repræsentationslokaler på Christiansborg Slot. Kongen og Dronningen er således portrætteret på det historiske slot i København, hvor skiftende konger og dronninger gennem tiden har holdt til.

…………………….

In connection with the succession of the throne on 14 January 2024, the first official gala portrait of Their Majesties The King and Queen is now published.

The portrait shows Their Majesties in gala with the Order of the Elephant on chains, and the portrait can henceforth be seen hung in, among other places, state institutions, including at Danish embassies and consulates around the world and on Danish vessels.

The gala portrait was taken by photographer Steen Evald in the Green Room in The Royal Reception Rooms at Christiansborg Palace.

The King and The Queen have thus had their portrait made at the historic palace in Copenhagen where successive kings and queens have stayed over time.

Princess Ingrid Alexandra marked the end of 13 years of schooling. The princess has spent the last three years attending Elvebakken secondary school in Oslo. All the school's graduating students gathered in the Oslo Concert Hall for a party performance and a school graduation.

The Crown Prince Couple were present to celebrate together.

This summer, both the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess will be 50 years old. They mark this through five trips with different themes to different parts of the country.”

what are some documentaries i could watch to know more about Mary and her work. (And if you know then letizia too)

thankyou

I can only direct you to documentaries in Danish and not all of them have subtitles, I'm afraid ❤️

There's the documentary that was made for her 50th birthday which gives a brief overview of her years as Crown Princess. A kind soul also uploaded TV2's birthday documentary but I wasn't fond of that. Kongehuset indefra is a wonderful documentary that gives a great insight into the royal family in general. Then there's the documentary that was made for the wedding which is more a piece on her background which is also a really fun watch. There's this three-part piece from 2007 about her work that I remember watching on the telly but honestly haven't revisited since, so I really can't tell you much about it 🤣
