Every holiday season Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II of Denmark visits London, England to do her Christmas shopping and perhaps to have some much needed alone time.
During her visit this year, Queen Margrethe II attended the play, Richard II, held at the Donmar Warehouse theatre in Covent Garden. To read more about her trip to the theatre please click here.
My heavens it is a slow news day… Recently, the Danish magazine, Billed Bladet, decided to post images of those incredibly happy members from the Danish royal family. Why? I suppose they feel that it has been a slow news week as well so they decided to post images to entertain themselves… :)
Anyway, click here to view a myriad of photos.
Also, it was recently announced that the entire Danish royal family — minus Prince Nikolai and Prince Felix who will spend the holidays with their mother Countess Alexandra — will spend Christmas together Marselisborg Palace in Aarhus.
And, finally as you know Crown Princess Mary along with her family are currently in Hobart, Tasmania for an extended holiday. Anyway, this afternoon the future Queen of Denmark was seen walking, talking, and chillin’ with her sisters at Salamanca Market. Click here to view photos of her doing what everybody else does.
