Love this picture of Mary and her father. Hope she has a wonderful birthday!
This photo might be taken in Australia, during her holiday vacations. She still was Crown Princess. Am I right?
And for the first time Queen Mary was celebrated with a 27 shot salute.
When FX has his B-day in May he will also be celebrated with a 27 gun salute.
The reason the salute is the same, is that Queen Mary ranks him in accordance to the protocol.

The photo is just beautiful. What an honor that she has her father with her still and that she was able to take the time in December to visit. This moments can't be replaced so I am really glad she and the twins got some time to travel, along with Frederik and Isabella.
She really comes out beautiful in this photo, and I spot her "F" necklace
Love that they can still travel privately abroad as a family.
It's the children's school holidays and I hope they enjoy.
I'm sure Margrethe knows the drill ; )

She's never been Rigsforstander before; so, it's a first for her as well
And less than 4 weeks after abdicating... Quite soon to be called back from her retirement

A special royal tale… It was a bit like getting close to the past when we visited Roskilde Cathedral yesterday afternoon.The impressive cathedral contains a royal time journey of over 500 years. From the beautiful Epiphany Chapel with impressive tombstones for Christian III and Frederik II, over Christian IV's magnificent burial chapel and relatively modest coffin to the Glücksburgernes Kapel, where Christian IX and also Frederik VIII and Christian X and their queens are buried . The visit was made no less lively by the fact that we again had Thomas Thulstrup, who is the museum director of the Kongernes Samling, with us as a dedicated tour guide. Our history and culture are 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 it, as we did yesterday afternoon in the cathedral. The royal couple.
I feel like we have barely seen Fred & Mary since they became King & Queen - their engagements seem lighter than ever, I hope they're doing a lot of work behind the scenes but so far they have barely been out and about
I suspect that those most affected had way more notice than a few days. I recall a report that stated that Margrethe gave a few days notice regarding some aspect, but I did not interpret that to mean that that was the first notice. Forget Fred and Mary, that would have been an absolute disservice to Christian to have him become the Crown Prince with all that entails.with only a few days notice.I think it may have to do with the fact that they got only a few days notice for their promotion. I know he’s been waiting for this job since he was 4 years old but it does take time to organize an institution to your liking. I think Daisy should have told them at least a year in advance that she would step down. It shouldn’t have been a surprise.
I agree, I think the abdication may have been in planning for some time, and F&M would have known. There would have been no surprises for them.I suspect that those most affected had way more notice than a few days.
