The royal couple present at the anniversary celebration in Copenhagen
King Harald and Queen Sonja were on Saturday evening in the Royal Theater in Copenhagen on the occasion of Queen Margrethe’s celebration of 50 years on the throne.
At the venerable theatre, the stage was set for a gala performance on Saturday evening, including features from several well-known plays, according to the Danish royal family.
King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden were also among the reviewers. The extremely long guest list also shows the rest of the Danish royal family in addition to the members of the Danish government and many others.
Queen Elizabeth’s sudden death on Thursday this week meant that the Danish celebration was somewhat scaled back out of respect for the British queen. A guard parade and waving from the castle balcony are among the points that were cancelled. A concert in the city center on Saturday night was also cancelled.
Queen Margrethe’s jubilee actually took place in January, but then large parts of the celebration were canceled due to the corona pandemic.
After Queen Elizabeth’s death, Queen Margrethe of Denmark (82) is Europe’s longest-serving monarch. She is also the only female monarch in the world. (NTB)
