21:08:00
On Wednesday, Queen Margrethe II joined the Crown Prince couple at Christiansborg Castle on board her coach.
The coach of King Christian VIII of Denmark (1786-1848) a hand made beauty by the coachbuilder Henry Fife in 1840, this gold car plated with 24-carat gold leaves, pulled by six white horses, adorned with the Queen's coat of arms on its doors and four crowns at each corner of its roof was released again this Wednesday, January 4th 2017 in Copenhagen. As it did every year since her 1972 coronation, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark took her place there to visit the palace of Amalienborg as part of the New Year's ceremonies at Christiansborg Castle.
She was escorted by the regiment of the Hussars of the Danish Royal Guard. The inside of the coach, padded, is arranged for two people. But just as last year, it was only the sovereign who sat in the carriage through Copenhagen's street, her husband Prince Henrik having asserted his rights to the royal retirement on January 1st 2016 .
At her arrival at Christiansborg Castle, Margrethe met with her eldest son Crown Prince Frederik and his wife. The trio received representatives of the armed forces, the Danish Emergency Management Agency, major national organizations and royal patrons on the last day of New Year ceremonies. Crown Princess Mary had opted for the occasion for a long fuchsia dress and a cape in exactly the same tone. The one she wore already for the dinner of the 1st of January in the evening, on her gilded robe.
The monarch wore, as on previous eve and in previous years, his "dress of vows": a long blue brocade dress at night with officer collar and brown fur cuffs under a fur coat.
