Thank you Alexandra. The history behind the kingdoms of Europe is fascinating - I didn’t realise how closely they have interwoven over the centuries. Lovely to see King Harald and King Frederik together - King Harald’s speech to the Danish royals shows the mutual respect they have for each other. Happy Anniversary to King Frederik and Queen Mary. 🇦🇺
Great report on the fantastic Day 1 of the Danish State Visit to Norway. So many great moments. Both King Frederik and Queen Mary look amazing. Loved seeing her in the pearl parure for the first time. As per tradition the Danish royal couple's first state visits are always to their Scandinavian neighbors/family. And btw the Danish royal family is still of the House of Glucksborg. Lol. There is no House of Monpezat. And lovely they spent their 20th anniversary in Norway. They were in top form for both state visits. Love seeing the Danneborg and the Norwegian royal yacht together. Such a magnificent sight! ❤
You're so welcome! 🙂💐 Regarding the royal yachts Norge and Dannebrog, I, too loved seeing them side by side. I loved the state visit to Norway; I wish it could have lasted one more day. 🙂
Thank you Alexandra for explaining a little about the historical relations between the Danish Monarchy and the Norwegian Monarchy. In fact, there was a monarch of Norway who was the brother of the King of Denmark at the same time , that is, King Haakon VII of Norway was the brother of King Christian X of Denmark. The Journey of King Frederik X of Denmark and his wife, Queen Mary, to Norway , seems to be going wonderfully. In addition, everyone was very well dressed, but we must highlight the Birthday Parties for their 20th Wedding Anniversary, King Frederik X of Denmark, and his wife, Queen Mary , who in addition to being elegantly dressed, seems to be looking very happy. Congratulations to the Danish Royal Couple.
Thank you for the opening history lesson. Those of us in other countries are not always (usually?) aware of the history of relations between two specific nations. Love the tiaras and glad to see King Harald getting around again. It's sad to see him needing canes, when we remember what an athlete he was at the Olympics when he was a young man. However, it is inspiring to see him carrying out his royal duties at his age after his illness.
All I'm going to say is congratulations to Mary because she set out and had a goal ! Good luck to her ! Hopefully she will find happiness in her life !!
Excuse me but what is that suppose to mean , what makes you think she is not happy and please dont refer to malisious gossip and assumptions, she is fine and happy so there
TMs King Frederik X and Queen Mary of Denmark 🇩🇰 are very hard working royal couple and I love them a lot and the Danish royal family are so very happy royal family ❤
I just have to say it…King Harold looks younger since his illness but has anyone else noticed that the marks that were on his face have gone? This makes him look healthier now
Always love seeing your royal news Alexandra. I don't comment often but please know I appreciate you. Take care! P.S. Queen Mary, one of the most elegant and beautiful woman in the world. Not sure who I love more, the Princess of Wales or the Queen of Denmark.
I actually would accept the king and Queen and the crownprince of Norway as reigning my country . They are looking all very friendly and down to earth!
I really enjoyed your coverage of the Norway royal visit by the King and Queen of Denmark! I have spent time in both countries. Also interesting for me to see the Emperor of Japan doing the rice planting. Took me back to my years in Japan where I witnessed it often. Thank you again for another enjoyable and informative vlog! 💕
Love the idea of the "summer sailing season". It evokes the Viking days (which of course brought terror to England and France!). Now the Scandinavians are people to emulate.
The Royal Ladies of Norway and Denmark look lovely in their Banquet outfits. And the tiaras... Oh my God, the tiaras! Just out of curiosity, Alexandra, did the Spanish Royal House released some explanation why HM Queen Letizia is appearing in a more casual shoe option in the last few weeks?
Hi, Isabel, how are you? Well, I hope!🙂 Regarding, Her Majesty Queen Letizia, from what I understand she suffers from chronic Metatarsalgia which is quite painful. The royal court of Spain never confirmed her condition; however, El Mundo (a respectable newspaper from Spain) wrote about her condition several years ago.
Thank for the info, @inamoore4536 and Alexandra. Foot injuries or medical conditions are really painfull. I'm with Queen Letizia on that, confort over style.
Good morning Alexandra. How interesting the background history of Norway and Denmark. I wonder in what language they communicate? Congratulations to King Frederick and beautiful Queen Mary on their 20th wedding anniversary. They have weathered the storms and come out; so far victoriously. Congratulations to Princess Alexandra of Luxembourg and her husband Nicholas on the arrival of baby girl. Queen Letizia of Spain looks very well, I see she is still wearing her tennis shoes (those high heels are a killer) hope she recovers, our feet are precious. Have a great day Alexandra thanks for all interesting reports. 💐🌺🏵🌹♥
Hi, Twilight! Sorry for the late reply.🙂💐 Regarding your question, I'm not quite sure which language they speak between each other. However, Norwegian and Danish are somewhat similar that I'm sure the royals can understand what each other is saying... I hope that made sense.🙂
@@TheRoyalCorrespondent Thank you. I heard that Emeritus Queen Sofia of Spain always speaks to her family in English due she never learned Spanish. How odd.
Princess Alexandra's husband doesn't have a royal title, presumably one may have been offered when they got married, but he refused and opted to remain a private citizen. Or maybe he wasn't offered a title.
Congratulations on 30k subscribers, Alexandra! 🎉 It's hard to believe that you're not at 500k subscribers! But you'll get there 😊 I was watching a program on Egypt, and when I heard about the city of Alexandria, I thought of you. 😊 Is there any chance that you were named for a beautiful city in Egypt?
Hi, Gwen, how are you? Well, I hope! And, thank you for the congrats!🙂💐 Regarding your question, I was named after the last Tsarina (Empress) of Russia, Alexandra Feodorovna.🙂
@@TheRoyalCorrespondent that is so awesome! I don't know anything about her. I'll have to look her up. You're the best out there! You definitely should be at least at 500k subscribers! 🥰
Thank you for the great coverage Alexandra!! Especially the History & Family Ties. I've been royalty/Royal History Nerd for a long time now, so I knew the background, but those who are newbies to all of this? Not so much. So thank you for doing that for them. 😊 Congratulations to Princess Alexandra & her Husband on the safe arrival of their Baby Girl!! 🍾🥂. The Grand Duke & Duchess must be over the moon right now. 😁. Congratulations also to King Fredrick & Queen Mary on 20 years of Marriage. 🍾🥂. That's quite the accomplishment these days. 😊 Also means King Felipe & Queen Letitia of Spain will also be celebrating their 20th Wedding Anniversary soon as well. 😊 All of the Ladies looked amazing last night, but Mary got my Best Dressed Award. That Dress just looked stunning on her. However, what really put it over the top for me was the Tiara. Did my eyes deceive me or was that the Pearl Poire on her head? If so, then it’s the first time in Public Mary's worn it. It’s the one Danish Queens Only Tiara I've been looking forward to seeing her wear once becoming Queen Consort & it did not disappoint. There’s just something about Pearl Tiaras w/dark hair as a background I just really love, so…😊 I just wish Princess Ingrid Alexandra had been there last night. I thought she would’ve been, now she’s come of age, but…Oh well. Thanks again for the great Coverage & Take Care!! 😊
You're so very welcome, Denise! 🙂💐 I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the episode! Regarding, Queen Mary, the tiara she wore last evening was indeed the stunning Pearl Poire. The tiara looked magnificent on her! I'm so happy she decided to wear it. Wishing you a wonderful evening!
I love Queen Mary white and blue outfit. It's so spring like. I bet she will start wearing short sleeves when weather in Denmark gets hot. Mary also wore a white button up shirt and tan wide leg pants at the lab. The outfit I love the most is her Light blue evening gown. It's so elegant and beautiful. The sheer fabric over her chest is the wow factor. She has has a lovers knot tiara. Crown Princess Mette Marit has on a troupe and white dress with a white hat at the docks, a pink shirt and wide leg pants at the lab. At the gala banquet, Mette-Marit wore a white jacket,a pink floral maxi skirt, a life guy blue clutch, and the amethyst parue tiara at the gala banquet. She looked incredible. Princess Astrid wore a light pink dress and a diamond tiara. Queen Sonja of Norway wore a salmon colored cape gown with the emerald parue tiara, earrings and necklace. The best dressed royal lady at the gala banquet is...Queen Mary. Btw What was on the gala banquet menu?
That¿s not a Lover’s Knot Tiara Mary wore. It’s the Pearl Poire Tiara & is considered only for Queens Regant & Consort. It’s the first time Mary has worn it in public & it looked as amazing on her as I knew it would.
Lovely, lovely coverage of the State visit and also of the shared history of the two countries! Many might not know about that, I know I find it very interesting, ty. Everyone looked so lovely and a new tiara for Mary. She has exquisite taste, I love the way she puts everything together! I noticed C.P. Mette Merit repeated the amethyst tiara, maybe she prefers the lighter tiaras, some can be heavy to wear. The gentlemen also looked nice throughout the visit, 1 quick thing though,C.P. Haakon, don't go stuffy and wear "only" double-breasted 🤨🥴 please. Absolutely loved King Harald's speech to the couple, he is a sweet man and so well spoken. Also really like the picture of K.Frederick with his niece P. Ingrid Alexandra, she is going to be a beauty! Good to see Auntie Astrid, looking spry. Congratulations to P. Alexanda, a healthy baby girl, with a normal name 😉 Ty, Ty Alexandra, a big report, you worked hard! P.s. a lot of Alexandras mentioned today!
My pleasure, Sentimldy!🙂💐🙂 Regarding, Her Highness Princess Astrid, I was so happy to see her! She looked fantastic participating in the royal procession line with the handsome royal guard escorting her into the Grand Dining Hall. And, Queen Mary! Oh my goodness! One word: Perfection! King Harald's speech was simply wonderful!
Hi Alexandra, great report. I enjoyed the history lesson at the beginning of your report, I learned something new. I am sorry to see King Harold in the physical condition that he is in, that is life, I suppose. Thank you very much Alexandra, have a great day 😀
My pleasure, Michael! 🙂 The history of Norway and the royal family has always fascinated me. I really admire the late King Haakon VII of Norway and the late King Olav V of Norway. If you have a chance, I highly recommend watching the film, Kongens Nei, directed by Eric Poppe. The film tells the incredible story of King Haakon VII, Crown Prince Olav of Norway, and the invasion of Norway on April 9, 1940. Last year, I reviewed the film for Royal Film Fridays (which will return on June 2, 2024. ua-cam.com/video/KyMlhsLCkE4/v-deo.html Kongens Nei is one of my favorite films.🙂
@TheRoyalCorrespondent Thank you very much for getting back to me Alexandra. I will watch this movie the first chance I get. Thank you very much again Alexandra, have a nice evening 😊
Great video as always, Alexandra! Who are Ingrid Alexandra's Godparents? I have a vague recollection that Frederick and/or Mary might be. Thanks so much! Max
Hi, Max, how are you? Well, I hope.🙂 Regarding your question, His Majesty King Frederik X of Denmark, His Majesty King Felipe VI of Spain, Her Highness Princess Märtha-Louise of Norway, and Ms. Marit Tjessem (Crown Princess Mette-Marit's mother).
The 1st King of Norway's name was spelt Haakon . This is the correct way of spelling his name in the Norwegian dialect spoken in , the area south of Oslo, The present Crown Prince is also named Crown Prince Haakon of Norway. King Haakon attended the coronation of Elizabeth 2nd of Great Birtain on June 6th 1053. King Haakon was very tall, taller than his grandson Crown Prince Haakon is.in 2024
The house of Bernadotte is now the most senior of the Scandinavian royal families. Next comes Norways House of Glücksborg, which is the oldest family, but not in Norway. Denmarks House of Monpezat is the most junior of the royal families anywhere and the one with absolutely no glorious past and no noble or illustrious ancestors....the royal blood is hardly detectable.
Hi Alexandra, I noted that while the king and queen of Denmark are in Norway, Crown Prince Christian is regent. This made me wonder as to a point of protocol. Normally, a prince would bow to a king, but, if the prince were acting as a regent and a foreign monarch showed up, would he bow to them, seeing as he’s regent and, essentially, the “acting king”? Do you know. Obviously a hypothetical question, but I’m curious as to what would be correct in such a situation.
Hi, Lennisisson! 🙂 Regarding you're question, I believe the acting Regent would still bow to a foreign monarch if he showed up while the reigning monarch was out of his/her country.
Am I the only one that thinks Mary didn't look so happy when he was saying something about their anniversary? Maybe it was just the one pic she put up but since I can't see or hear the speech it's hard to tell.
King Frederick didn't even look at her when TK of Norway discussed their 20th anniversary as narrated by Alexandra. Queen Mary turned to look at him and he just stared straight ahead, appearing (to me) to be uncomfortable. At that moment, my heart just hurt for her. I hope it smooths out. They were my favorite royal couple before the incident in Spain.
I wouldn't place too much emphasis on this, since we saw selected stills rather than video timed to the speech. If you saw video of it *and* had simultaneous translation of the speech (or understood the language yourself), then I think you might rely on it a bit more.
Thank you Alexandra. The history behind the kingdoms of Europe is fascinating - I didn’t realise how closely they have interwoven over the centuries. Lovely to see King Harald and King Frederik together - King Harald’s speech to the Danish royals shows the mutual respect they have for each other. Happy Anniversary to King Frederik and Queen Mary. 🇦🇺

Last evening's gala state dinner, in my opinion, was one of the best in recent months.

Loved seeing her in the pearl parure for the first time. As per tradition the Danish royal couple's first state visits are always to their Scandinavian neighbors/family.

You're welcome, Fatima!🙂
I love how the emperor planted many plants, with his shoes planted in the watery mud. An authentic leader! ❤❤🎉🎉
...he's wearing gumboots/wellingtons

You're so welcome, K! By the way, I hope all is well with you! 🙂💐🙂

No salacious comments
So important for Mary and Frederick

How do you know they are working?
Yes, the Euro Royals are all admired across the world 🌎

Loved the Kings speech he is funny. And thanks for letting me know how to say the babies name.
I just have to say it…King Harold looks younger since his illness but has anyone else noticed that the marks that were on his face have gone? This makes him look healthier now
I thought the same. Makes you wonder how long the King was having heart issues, doesn't it?😊
I concur, Jan! His Majesty King Harald looks much better these days. 🙂
I knew he looked different, but couldn't put my finger on it!
Always love seeing your royal news Alexandra. I don't comment often but please know I appreciate you. Take care! P.S. Queen Mary, one of the most elegant and beautiful woman in the world. Not sure who I love more, the Princess of Wales or the Queen of Denmark.
