One thought on “Danish New Year’s Reception 2018

  1. Oh, wonderful! Queen Margrethe wore the Danish Crown Emerald Parure, which is my favorite Danish tiara. CP Mary was stunning in her new red gown. Princess Marie looked lovely in her repeated gold gown and tiara. I wonder why doesn’t she ever take the Flora Danica Amethyst tiara out once in a while. I think it would have looked marvelous with her gold gown! And it looke like CP Frederick is serious about his facial hair. I think it looks good on him. 🙂
