  • Probably the most fairytale royal event I have ever seen. Very aestethic and beautiful.
    We see all the Nordic Heads of State.... King Harald V of Norway, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, President Guðni Th. Jóhannesson of Iceland and President Sauli Ninistö of Finland. The former royal family of Greece, who are close relatives of Queen Margrethe II, are also there as guests.

    For the Danish people, and the Danish Queen to stand for a minute of silence for our late Queen in a jubilee celebration is nothing short of the utmost respect.
    Thank you, Denmark.

    This must have been a very poignant concert for Queen Margrethe.She was known to be very close to Queen Elizabeth.
    Margrethe's nickname in European Royal Families is "Daisy" after her ancestor Princess Margaret of Connaught (Daisy is a diminutive of Margaret).
    Queen Elizabeth was descended from Edward VII,and Margrethe is descended from Arthur Duke of Connaught,They were both sons of Queen Victoria.

      It has something to do with the passing of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the announcer said at the beginning of his speech and asked for a moment of silence to remember Queen Elizabeth hence the sombre atmosphere perhaps. Normally ofc there would be cheers when members of the royal family arrive or after the playing of the royal anthem but at the royal theatre customarily there are no clapping and cheering but there would be nine shouts of “hurrah” which is like how in England one says “hip hip hooray” ig
