On January 15, local time, the Danish royal family released a family portrait to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Queen Margaret II's succession. The 81-year-old queen, wearing a burgundy gift dress, sits in the C seat, surrounded by her children and grandchildren and eldest sister, Princess Benedict, looking very happy, and the photos are full of warm colors. Margaret II is considered a "maverick" who, while performing her royal duties, is willing to live an ordinary life, riding a bicycle to the streets, carrying a vegetable basket to the market, etc., and she can also be called the most educated person in the European royal family (with a doctorate in law). In addition, she is also very accomplished in art, illustrating the Danish version of "The Lord of the Rings", designing stage backgrounds for stage plays, etc., which has a feeling of omnipotence.
Before taking the family portrait photos, Margaret also hosted a dinner party, and the family sat at the table, which was also warm. It is reported that the dinner was held at The Christian VII Palace in Amalienborg in Copenhagen, which was just a family banquet and did not invite more people. Affected by the epidemic, the important days that should have been solemnly celebrated have become a lot cooler, but they have also become more intimate and warm.
Sitting next to Margaret II is her eldest grandson, the 16-year-old Prince Christian, who is also the future King of Denmark and currently ranks second in succession to the throne, behind his crown prince father Frederick. Sitting next to Christian is the well-known male model prince - 21-year-old Nikolai, who is the eldest son of Margaret's youngest son, Prince Joachim, and his mother is Wen Yali, who is of one-quarter Chinese descent, and Joachim and Wen Yali have long been divorced.
Whether it is a family portrait or a photo of sitting at the table, it can be seen that Nikolai is really handsome, worthy of being a model praised by many fashion designers, but it will become the future cousin of the Danish king Christian to be more grand, perhaps more burly reasons.
Although it was a family banquet, the table was lined with very luxurious "Flora Danica" tableware, which was mainly used for display and was rarely used, last used in 1990, when Margaret II's mother, Queen Ingrid (Princess Ingrid of Sweden and now the aunt of King Carl XVI Gustav of Sweden, aged 90), celebrated her 80th birthday.
The day before, Margaret II had participated in a celebration at the national level, but it was also very simple, and the grandchildren did not participate. In addition, accompanied by her son and daughter-in-law, she went to the cemetery to pay homage to her late parents, King Frederick IX and Queen Ingrid.
