I think Princess Catharina Amalia of the Netherlands looks gorgeous in that blue gown. That blue tiara and dress really works on her. BTW, Princess Estelle looks super lovely despite no tiara on her yet. She's just the ray of sunshine. Always smiles and very enthusiastic to engage with people around her. What a lovely princess!
Princess Estelle´s super-sparkly smiles beat every piece of jewelry, every tiara, every dress. Just amazing to see how happy she was to be there. Apart from that, I liked princess Catharina-Amalia and crown princess Victoria´s looks the best. Victoria has an "interesting" taste in clothing for her every-day looks and for most engagements, but when it comes to formal, she knocks it out of the park.
Lovely to see all the dresses and jewels. The royal family had decided to invite “common” 18 year old men and women from all over Denmark - and all the royals were seated among them.
Yes! And the 18-year-olds had no idea in advance. Most thought they would be grouped together among themselves. They were very surprised when they were seated among the royals and other dignitaries. I think they all had a great time that evening - including the royals, because it was so different.
Yes, I have to say I took offence at quite a few of the comments made, and the brushing off of mispronunciations. Such unnecessary faux pas do the narrator no favours!
I think it was too bright for the dress. She should have worn a softer colour. I don't think it was approaching clown territory, though. It wasn't that bad.
Well said, Laura. In this rough, vulgar and violent era (at least in the United States), I see no reason to make things worse by gratuitous insults about a person’s personal choices. Calling a person’s choice of lipstick “clown territory”… is rude, mean and uncouth.
This event was quite different to many other grand gala balls at the palace. Usually the crowd invited belong to the top echelons of Danish society. In this case, the Palace decided to invite two 18 year olds of each gender from every municipality within the Kingdom of Denmark which also includes Greenland and the Faroe Islands. It was left up to the municipalities to determine how the two lucky teens were picked or chosen. 200young people descended on the palace. An additional 200 were also invited representing very young people in sports and cultural events. A couple participants were handicapped. They were all seated at round tables. The young royals of Europe and older royals were seated among the young people. The whole thing was televised except when everyone was eating.
They need to move forward and be accessible in order for the Monarchy to survived. Danish law already cut off the branches royal and only concentrated on the Main.
@@JV-yd4qg they are already highly accessible and participate in many events. The yearly race Royal Run is the brainchild of Crown Prince Frederik. The aim is to promote exercise among the population. Anyone can participate in a 10 k, 5 k or 1,6 k. Every participant who has signed up gets at-shirt. One pays a small fee. The Crown Prince and his family all participate in different runs. It has become a hugely popular event with over a hundred thousand participating and many more as spectators. Danish law didn’t cut off anybody in the Royal family. This is a decision that reigns supreme with the Queen. Prince Joachim’s children may not have the titles of prince or princess any longer but they are still heirs to the throne.
It has been mentioned, that there are going to FIVE Queens Regnant in Europe, in the Future! With Spain ging to have its FIRST Queen Regnant in its history! And there is only 10/11 years between the youngest and the oldest, so they will be peers and contemporaries! What a future to look forward too! Blessings to ALL the future Monarchs!
Definitely CP. Mary - love it 😍 Princess Amalia looked quite regal in the photo....I can definitely see her as future Queen. Love the blue for sure. I do hope we will see Catherine in a different tiara soon 🙏. Thank you for the interesting history too
Sorry to disagree with you Brittany, but I loved Ingrid Alexandras outfit. I also really loved CP Mary, Queen Margrehe and of course Princess Catharina Amalia. The blue really looks great on her. In terms of the Queens dress, it was a rewear, and has been worn at least once, during lasts year galla a the theather for her 50th jubilee. It was made by Birgitte Halstein, who always makes the Queens dresses. I also just want to add: Just how handsome is Prince Christian? Not just in looks, but also he appears to have a good head on his shoulders. He seems very confident in what his role in the future will be.
If Princess Carina had a child before her marriage to Prince Gustav, the inheritance of any children would be called into question due to their legitimacy
Of the young princesses my favourite is Elizabeth of Belgium. Her choice is perfection. I love that dress & and the colour. Second is Ingrid Alexandra of Norway. Of the mature princesses i love CP Mary her gown is stunning as is the colour. And i love her tiara. Overall a spectacular show of fashion
So glad you chose Princess Mary. I live in Tasmania Australia, the state where 'our' Mary was born and raised, before moving to Sydney and meeting her virtual Prince Charming. We are so very proud of how she has taken on Royal duties with such class considering she was a 'commoner' 😃. I can't get over that 18 years has gone by soooooo fast since Christian came into the world 😲😳
@@leandabee ok thank you, that’s very interesting, I knew she had lived there for a long time and that’s where they met but I didn’t realize she was a born citizen
From all the video I have seen, Prince Christian seemed to be having more fun than his father did at his. Prince Fredrick's birthday gala appeared to have more mature people. Prince Christian had people his own age to converse with.
There was an important difference in the two events. When Crown Prince Frederik turned 18, he was already the Crown Prince. From that point on if something happened to his mom, he would be the new king. Thus his birthday was quite a bit more formal than Christian’s as reps for all official governmental institutions in Denmark participated. The palace had the opportunity to do things differently for Prince Christian as he is the heir to the throne but not the Crown Prince yet. Crown Prince Frederik was not happy about several of the things that took place at his 18th. birthday and as expressed publicly that he wanted something different for his son. The whole event was televised and it was fun watching all these young people meet and greet the Royal family.
The Boucheron Peal Tiara that Princess Ingrid Alexandra was wearing is her personal property. I read an article by Trond Noren Isaksen who stated that the tiara had been inherited by the three children of the late Princess Ragnhild, and that they gifted it to Princess Ingrid Alexandra on her 18th birthday celebration in 2022. There is still the question of Queen Maud's Diamond tiara that was also inherited by Princess Ragnhild and which hasn't been seen in decades.
My favorite tiara was Princess Ingrid Alexandra. I did love her dress too, but I see what you mean about the waist & it being more matronly. I just love the color with that tiara. So pretty.
All the young Princesses looked lovely to me. Young, beautiful and the future of the European monarchy. Prince Christian is a handsome young man. I think he has a strong resemblance to Crown Princess Mary’s Father. ❤🇩🇰
I think you're 💯, it was Crown Princess Mary's proud mama moment. Her wedding tiara is on the puny side, but that gorgeous dress balanced it perfectly and elevated the whole look.
Christian has his mum's features, yet also the look of his dad. Really good looking. I loved the two speeches from The Queen, and his father, Crown Prince Frederik.
Prince Christian is as tall as the last king named Christian. His great great grandfather Christian the tenth. The linage goes Christian X, his son Frederik IX, granddaughter Margrethe II and great grandson Frederik who will become Frederik X. Since King Christian I in 1449, every king has been named either Christian or Frederik in Denmark. However, Christian I eldest son was named Hans and only after him were kings named Frederik. But this meant that the Frederiks were always one number behind the Christians. So King Frederik IX and his daughter Margrethe decided to rectify the situation by naming her eldest son Frederik. When Crown Prince Frederik’s eldest son was born, there was almost a public demand that he be named Christian. His younger brother, Prince Vincent also has the name Frederik. In earlier times only sons could inherit the throne. This was changed in 1953 to include daughters if there were no sons. In 2009, the law was changed again. The eldest child, regardless of gender is the heir to the throne. So if something bad were to happen to Prince Christian his sister Princess Isabella would be out next queen not the younger brother, Prince Vincent. Sweden had similar changes. That is why Crown Princess Victoria as the eldest child will become the Queen of Sweden and she will be followed by her daughter, Princess Estelle in spite of the fact that both have younger brothers.
Princess Mary is so beautiful. I like her tiara. I also love Ingrid Alexander’s tiara. Victoria looked great. Princess Elizabeth’s dress was so princess like but I think the color was too mature for her. It would have been better in a different color.
Catharina Amalia looked so beautiful! Her gown was gorgeous and so was the color of it and her tiara went perfectly with her gown….her clutch was stunning also. My favorite look for the entire event for sure. Question - do we know why no one from the British RF wasn’t at that party?
The mainland European monarchies socialize at a lot of events. The BRF typically only turn up if there's a major wedding or funeral and it's usually Edward and Sophie.
@@stephanienewhouse2056 Well, it was mostly in name only.... He really didn't have ties to either country. He didn't spend time there, he didn't speak any of the languages etc. Greece is one of the few countries QEII never made an official visit to due to Philips history. He did have a lot of ties to Germany though but their royals usually only attend family events.
@@stephanienewhouse2056they visited in private and the late King Konstantin - married to prinsesse Anne-Marie of Denmark -lived in London in exile 19:01 for Many years so they visited in private.
Well the danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Dutch royals are so closely related including culturally. Idk how well the Brit’s “fit in” with them… historically they never really went to many events in these courts. I think a couple visits to these countries is the norm for British royals. The British are also very patriotic in a way whereas the Nordic royals like to mix their different but similar cultures. Victoria, Mary and mette marit I believe are all god mothers to one of each others children and are very close friends in and outside of royal events. They hangout on a casual and private basis too.
I loved Catharina Amalia the best! I like her dress but her Tiara was the best. Blue is my favorite color. My favorite dress though was Crown Princess Mary.
I love these videos! And I too LOVE Crown Princess Victoria’s dress. It’s gorgeous! And her daughter’s dress is lovely as well ! I agree the necklace is a tad too long, which is too bad because it looks amazing with the dress-other than being about 1 1/2 huge diamonds too long. 😉
I noticed from the pictures that it appears he was able to invite several of his peers. Mary's choice of tiara in it's original form may have been a sentimental one. Maybe the "blue" theme was only the crown prince family. The royal heirs all looked lovely.
They invited young leaders who have distinguished themselves in fields including culture, sport and charity and 2 18 year olds from every municipality in the country.
Rewatching this video and just noticed the massive Sapphires Princess Mary has on her finger and wrist😮 they are massive stones and the colour is amazing!!!
About Ingrid Alexandra’s tiara. When Princess Ingeborg died, her granddaughter, and King Harald’s eldest sister, Princess Ranghild inherited the tiara. When she died, she wanted it to be Ingrid Alexandra’s gift for her 18th birthday. A very nice gesture from Princess Ragnhild and her family. The Tiara is with other words Princess Ingrid Alexandra’s very own tiara.
Just FYI the correct pronunciation for Princess Benedikte (it is pronounced "Benedict-ah"). "Benedict" is the male pronunciation, and she is a blood princess therefore she does not use her husbands first name (which also he is not Benedict).
#1 princess Mary; #2 Princess Elizabeth (I love her 50s Hollywood look) # 3 Princess Victoria (wish she had worn a different necklace). Ps.... I really like how your prenounced Princess Mette-Marit's name. Our daughters name is Mette; following my in-laws tradition of Norwegian names. Hi from 🇨🇦
Personally I am waiting for Princess Leonor of Spain to attend one of these galas. I would love to see her in a tiara soon and I love the Spanish collection of tiaras.
Hello. Everyone in this charming gala looked gorgeous. The young ladies, the birthday lad celebrating being 18, and the rest of his guests. But, the best looking in the party, personal preference, of course, was the Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, mother of the birthday boy, and the young Princess Estelle of Sweden. Princess Mary’s dress looked exquisitely beautiful in her silhouette, even though I don’t really like shoulder less or even strapless dresses very much. The midnight blue color enhanced her skin color and her dark hair, and her tiara looked just fine as a compliment on her hair. On the other hand, the youngest lady at least that I saw on your video, Princess Estelle, looked very age appropriate on the beautiful pastel dress she wore, and the best complement was her beautiful innocent, full of hope face. She looked just great. Beautiful and interesting video. Best.🌼
Just for your info. The son of Princess Benedicte and hid now wife, they had no child while they were only dating because it would be born out of wedlock. So it could not inherit the title and other inheritance... Princess Ingrid Alexandra's tiara was not purchased for her but was given to her by children of late Prinxess Rabghilde whom wrote her will and it was m3ntioned there.
I think it's not fair for someone to have to choose between love and their royal inheritance and place in history. Several couples had to wait years to marry someone who was not approved by the parents. If they were patient, love won, but many royals gave up and married someone to avoid losing their place in the line of succession (e.g. the Prince of Monaco who had a long relationship with a black lady and even had a child with her).
Totally with you on Cr Princess Mary getting the best gown/best overall look at her eldest child’s 18th birthday gala! So nice to see all these future Queens Regnant in attendance (afterall they are all cousins!) have there ever been this many as most European houses have adopted Absolute Primogeniture in the girls’ favor!!! One of them should snap up my fave Dane, Count Felix of Monzepat so he can be elevated back to his regal Princely Stature!!! I hope the person who left the Cinderella slipper was NOT that girl from Bourbon Two Sicilies who keeps trying WAY TO HARD to insinuate herself into Prince Christian’s circle. Ughhhh…trying to hard yet again?!!! Great insights on this one! Hugs, Michael Albuquerque NM USA
All the young ladies were gorgeous. Crown Princess Mary absolutely outshined everyone. I didn't personally like the Crown Princess of Greece or Norway but that's my opinion. I did notice that Mary's daughters were wearing a lower heel shoe & Marie had Athena in a higher heeled sparkling shoe & she had difficulty walking.
Crown Princess Mary will look even more sensational once she is elevated To Queen Consort of Denmark and then she will be able to wear Queen Margrethe’s heavy-hitting tiaras, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets that are currently reserved only for the sovereign. The emerald parure comes to mind as it’s a set of faceted, very high-quality emeralds and diamonds that would show off beautifully with her coloring. Also in the crown jewels’ is the diamond parure which is quite exquisite and very vwluable. Plus the queen inherited a great many pieces, many from Russia, which are very impressive and these pieces sit in the queen’s personal collection. Perhaps you’ve seen the Queen wearing a large beautiful dark blue sapphire necklace with large cushion cut sapphires, very fine stones, surrounded by diamonds and all hung on an adjustable chain where it can go from choker length to near opera length. Bottom line, there are many more baubles sitting in Daisy’s safe that will undoubtably be inherited by Crown Princess Mary.
It’s more likely that they will be inherited by Crown Prince Frederik, not his wife although she will be the one to wear them. Her grandkids, especially her granddaughters will most likely inherit some of her jewelry, while some pieces will remain in the hands of the sovereign whoever that may be in the future after Prince Christian. The Crown Jewels are the property of the state and only the queen can borrow and use them. They are never taken abroad on state visits. Whether Mary will use them when she becomes queen remains to be seen.
@@julianneheindorf5757 Yes, you are correct and I agree with everything you said. Yes, technically it will be Frederik who inherits the vast majority of Margrethe’s estate along with most of her personal jewelry though she can (and I’m sure will) leave other pieces to Joachim and/or her grandchildren. Remember, Queen Ingrid left the ruby parure to Frederik and various tiaras and other jewels to her other daughters. You know that Mary will wear the Crown Jewels. It would be expected of her and that’s why they exist, to be worn by the Queen.
@@julianneheindorf5757The Emerald tiara that Roholi mentioned, is however not the property of any royal. It's part of the Crown Jewel collection and therefore is owned by the State. It is also the only tiara in the Danish Crown jewel collection.
If you have a title, only legitimate children (born after the wedding) can inherit the titles. That explains why Princess Karine didn't have children out of wedlock. People can emphasize with couples who use surrogacy due to their age and the obstacles in their love story due to the risk of losing his inheritance if he didn't marry someone his family approved.
You are mistaken about the bracelets of the Princess of Orange. She is not wearing the bracelets of Queen Emma's Sapphire set but the bracelets of the diamond and sapphire wedding gift set of Queen Wilhelmina. They have been altered slightly but are of a very different design than the ones of Queen Emma. The Dutch collection has two sets of two diamond and sapphire bracelets. Btw the Princess of Orange wore Manolo Blahnik shoes: the same shoes Carrie Bradshaw got for her wedding to mr Big.
unfortunately the court jeweller was wrong in it's description. Look at the photo's of Queen Maxima wearing the large version of the Sapphire tiara and the dress with the floral applications on the skirt. Taken in the Royal Palace in Amsterdam a few years ago. She is wearing the bracelets from Queen Emma@@RoyalFashionNews
The necklace crown Princess Victoria is wearing isn’t the Connaught scarab necklace(the necklace which the voice over refers to is made up of multiple multicolored scarabs falling down a straight line from the base of the wearer’s throat down to the middle of their chest) The necklace she’s wearing is actually queen Josephine’s stomacher in it’s necklace form. Unlike the scarab necklace It was not privately owned by Princess Lillian but it was one of her favorites to wear because she thought it matched well with the laurel wreath(similar to how Victoria wore the two pieces here)
Great comment! I pointed that out and got a rather short and strange response pointing to an other creator “the court jeweler”(who by the way had the correct name for the necklace). Brittany further explained that she referred to the style of the piece rather than the name of the necklace. If she didn’t say scarab the only other word I can guess she is saying is scabbard, but I cannot for the life of me understand how “a sheath for the blade of a sword or dagger” explain the style of the necklace.
The royal families often tend to discuss and match eachother for these types of events, I highly doubt that there was an official color theme and if there was it would be very strange that they’d gone with blue considering typically red is the color of Denmark while blue is for Sweden(and while the royals are related and the countries are now on good terms Sweden and Denmark remains to this day the two countries with most wars fought against eachother)
1. It is not dark blue but royal blue. 2. These are mostly ordinary 18-year-olds from the entire Danish kingdom (incl. Greenland, the Faroe Islands and the Danish minority in Northern Germany) 3. Prince Gustav could not have a child until he was legally married because only those born within legal marriage can be approved as heir. So that is why they have only now been able to have children. 4. The Greek family are also Danish princes and princesses because of the Danish Prince Wilhelm (later King Georg I of Greece, he had it written in that all his descendants should retain their Danish princes and princesses titles)
Mary looked gorgeous and some of the younger ones - just wow. Perhaps they were doing a bit of match making for Christian 😂😂. Loved the story of the ‘left behind shoe’. Perfect response. 🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
I highly doubt that. He is related to all of the Princesses who were at the party, and even if they weren't, royal protocol prohibits an immediate heir to the throne of marrying another immediate heir. All the foreign Princess in attendance, are future Queens. And there's an unspoken rule in the Danish royal family, that they must find a bride outside Denmark's borders. The last Danish King to marry a Dane, was King Frederik the VII 200 years ago.
I think Princess Catharina Amalia of the Netherlands looks gorgeous in that blue gown. That blue tiara and dress really works on her.
BTW, Princess Estelle looks super lovely despite no tiara on her yet. She's just the ray of sunshine. Always smiles and very enthusiastic to engage with people around her. What a lovely princess!
She so fat
Catharine-Amalia looked the best she’s ever looked. Loved her outfit & jewelry.

In earlier times only sons could inherit the throne. This was changed in 1953 to include daughters if there were no sons. In 2009, the law was changed again. The eldest child, regardless of gender is the heir to the throne. So if something bad were to happen to Prince Christian his sister Princess Isabella would be out next queen not the younger brother, Prince Vincent.
Sweden had similar changes. That is why Crown Princess Victoria as the eldest child will become the Queen of Sweden and she will be followed by her daughter, Princess Estelle in spite of the fact that both have younger brothers.
I didn't know Denmark didn't change to absolute primogeniture until 2009. Norway did it in 1990 and Sweden 1980.
Now, Crown Princess Victoria, The Whole Family Looks ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!!
Princess Mary is so beautiful. I like her tiara. I also love Ingrid Alexander’s tiara.
Victoria looked great.
Princess Elizabeth’s dress was so princess like but I think the color was too mature for her. It would have been better in a different color.
Catharina Amalia looked so beautiful! Her gown was gorgeous and so was the color of it and her tiara went perfectly with her gown….her clutch was stunning also. My favorite look for the entire event for sure. Question - do we know why no one from the British RF wasn’t at that party?
The mainland European monarchies socialize at a lot of events. The BRF typically only turn up if there's a major wedding or funeral and it's usually Edward and Sophie.
@@jessicaandersson4313 Which is rather surprising as Prince Philip was a prince of Greece and Denmark.
@@stephanienewhouse2056 Well, it was mostly in name only.... He really didn't have ties to either country. He didn't spend time there, he didn't speak any of the languages etc. Greece is one of the few countries QEII never made an official visit to due to Philips history. He did have a lot of ties to Germany though but their royals usually only attend family events.
@@stephanienewhouse2056they visited in private and the late King Konstantin - married to prinsesse Anne-Marie of Denmark -lived in London in exile 19:01 for Many years so they visited in private.
Well the danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Dutch royals are so closely related including culturally. Idk how well the Brit’s “fit in” with them… historically they never really went to many events in these courts. I think a couple visits to these countries is the norm for British royals. The British are also very patriotic in a way whereas the Nordic royals like to mix their different but similar cultures. Victoria, Mary and mette marit I believe are all god mothers to one of each others children and are very close friends in and outside of royal events. They hangout on a casual and private basis too.
I love the royal family of Denmark so real
There you go again criticizing the dresses I think the girl looks ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!
Love the taupe dress. Fits perfectly.
I loved Catharina Amalia the best! I like her dress but her Tiara was the best. Blue is my favorite color. My favorite dress though was Crown Princess Mary.
I love these videos! And I too LOVE Crown Princess Victoria’s dress. It’s gorgeous! And her daughter’s dress is lovely as well ! I agree the necklace is a tad too long, which is too bad because it looks amazing with the dress-other than being about 1 1/2 huge diamonds too long. 😉
Thanks for expanding my Royal families addiction 😂😂😂
Of course!! All the royals are fabulous!!
I simply love Mette Marits bracelt! So chick
They were all lovely!!
GBU Crown Princess Mary looked fabulous fr the event and her children 💕
They don't care what you think 😂 neither do I 😂
The very red lipstick is worn for the sake of photographs. It shows up better than a milder shade would.
I noticed from the pictures that it appears he was able to invite several of his peers.
Mary's choice of tiara in it's original form may have been a sentimental one.
Maybe the "blue" theme was only the crown prince family.
The royal heirs all looked lovely.
They invited young leaders who have distinguished themselves in fields including culture, sport and charity and 2 18 year olds from every municipality in the country.
@@jessicaandersson4313 And two 18 year olds from each Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
Since there are several women in pinks/reds, naybe the chosen colors were blues/pinks/reds and not just blues.
What a thoroughly charming event. 😊
I love the tiara that Mary wore it’s stunning 👑
Crown Princess Mary could wear a burlap sack and make it look stunning.
💎 my favorite Tiara is the Stuart Tiara! ❤❤❤ Queen Maxima knows how to bring it!
beautiful Princess Mary and her elegant gown. we missed yuo from down under;)
Best look was undoubtedly Crown Princess Mary
A princesa Mary a mais feliz de todos. Linda comemoração do príncipe Cristhiano❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🏼
Rewatching this video and just noticed the massive Sapphires Princess Mary has on her finger and wrist😮 they are massive stones and the colour is amazing!!!
So lovely. Thank you.
About Ingrid Alexandra’s tiara.
When Princess Ingeborg died, her granddaughter, and King Harald’s eldest sister, Princess Ranghild inherited the tiara. When she died, she wanted it to be Ingrid Alexandra’s gift for her 18th birthday. A very nice gesture from Princess Ragnhild and her family.
The Tiara is with other words Princess Ingrid Alexandra’s very own tiara.
Enjoyed the tiaras!!! Very sparkly ✨️ 💖 ✨️ Hope your paper went well. To have your health. Be thankful. Anyways, take care and have fun!!! 😎😀😎
He looks so much like his mother.
Princess Victoria looked the best imo
Queen Margrethe, CP Mary looked amazing!
Just FYI the correct pronunciation for Princess Benedikte (it is pronounced "Benedict-ah"). "Benedict" is the male pronunciation, and she is a blood princess therefore she does not use her husbands first name (which also he is not Benedict).
💎 Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara So delicate.
#1 princess Mary; #2 Princess Elizabeth (I love her 50s Hollywood look) # 3 Princess Victoria (wish she had worn a different necklace). Ps.... I really like how your prenounced Princess Mette-Marit's name. Our daughters name is Mette; following my in-laws tradition of Norwegian names. Hi from 🇨🇦
Personally I am waiting for Princess Leonor of Spain to attend one of these galas. I would love to see her in a tiara soon and I love the Spanish collection of tiaras.
Trust me if there had been a blue theam the Queen woud have worn blue! After all it was her that was the host.
In my opinion, princess Estelle is the most beautiful in this night.
Hello. Everyone in this charming gala looked gorgeous. The young ladies, the birthday lad celebrating being 18, and the rest of his guests. But, the best looking in the party, personal preference, of course, was the Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, mother of the birthday boy, and the young Princess Estelle of Sweden. Princess Mary’s dress looked exquisitely beautiful in her silhouette, even though I don’t really like shoulder less or even strapless dresses very much. The midnight blue color enhanced her skin color and her dark hair, and her tiara looked just fine as a compliment on her hair. On the other hand, the youngest lady at least that I saw on your video, Princess Estelle, looked very age appropriate on the beautiful pastel dress she wore, and the best complement was her beautiful innocent, full of hope face. She looked just great.
Beautiful and interesting video. Best.🌼
Just for your info. The son of Princess Benedicte and hid now wife, they had no child while they were only dating because it would be born out of wedlock. So it could not inherit the title and other inheritance... Princess Ingrid Alexandra's tiara was not purchased for her but was given to her by children of late Prinxess Rabghilde whom wrote her will and it was m3ntioned there.
I think it's not fair for someone to have to choose between love and their royal inheritance and place in history. Several couples had to wait years to marry someone who was not approved by the parents. If they were patient, love won, but many royals gave up and married someone to avoid losing their place in the line of succession (e.g. the Prince of Monaco who had a long relationship with a black lady and even had a child with her).
Totally with you on Cr Princess Mary getting the best gown/best overall look at her eldest child’s 18th birthday gala! So nice to see all these future Queens Regnant in attendance (afterall they are all cousins!) have there ever been this many as most European houses have adopted Absolute Primogeniture in the girls’ favor!!! One of them should snap up my fave Dane, Count Felix of Monzepat so he can be elevated back to his regal Princely Stature!!! I hope the person who left the Cinderella slipper was NOT that girl from Bourbon Two Sicilies who keeps trying WAY TO HARD to insinuate herself into Prince Christian’s circle. Ughhhh…trying to hard yet again?!!! Great insights on this one!
Hugs,

I agree Crown Princess Mary was the most beautifully dressed Princess of the whole Gala
3:16 No, i think Princess Marie's oufit is perfect
All the young ladies were gorgeous. Crown Princess Mary absolutely outshined everyone. I didn't personally like the Crown Princess of Greece or Norway but that's my opinion. I did notice that Mary's daughters were wearing a lower heel shoe & Marie had Athena in a higher heeled sparkling shoe & she had difficulty walking.
I'm pretty sure that Marie-Chantal or her parents tracked down the tiara and purchased it.
Beautiful dresses and stunning tiaras, I'm still so unhappy we had none at King Charles Coronation. I love tiaras ❤
My favorite piece from QE is the grand success Vladimir tiara💎
👑 how exciting for Prince Christian ❤️🇨🇦
ماشاءالله تبارك الله عليكم جميعان منورين وحلوين كثير كثير الله يبارك فيكم جميعان ويطيل اعماركم وكل عام وانتم بالف خير وصحة وعافية وسلامه وسعاده
I love seeing the tiaras, they’re all beautiful.
Crown Princess Mary will look even more sensational once she is elevated To Queen Consort of Denmark and then she will be able to wear Queen Margrethe’s heavy-hitting tiaras, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets that are currently reserved only for the sovereign. The emerald parure comes to mind as it’s a set of faceted, very high-quality emeralds and diamonds that would show off beautifully with her coloring. Also in the crown jewels’ is the diamond parure which is quite exquisite and very vwluable. Plus the queen inherited a great many pieces, many from Russia, which are very impressive and these pieces sit in the queen’s personal collection. Perhaps you’ve seen the Queen wearing a large beautiful dark blue sapphire necklace with large cushion cut sapphires, very fine stones, surrounded by diamonds and all hung on an adjustable chain where it can go from choker length to near opera length. Bottom line, there are many more baubles sitting in Daisy’s safe that will undoubtably be inherited by Crown Princess Mary.
It’s more likely that they will be inherited by Crown Prince Frederik, not his wife although she will be the one to wear them. Her grandkids, especially her granddaughters will most likely inherit some of her jewelry, while some pieces will remain in the hands of the sovereign whoever that may be in the future after Prince Christian. The Crown Jewels are the property of the state and only the queen can borrow and use them. They are never taken abroad on state visits. Whether Mary will use them when she becomes queen remains to be seen.
@@julianneheindorf5757 Yes, you are correct and I agree with everything you said. Yes, technically it will be Frederik who inherits the vast majority of Margrethe’s estate along with most of her personal jewelry though she can (and I’m sure will) leave other pieces to Joachim and/or her grandchildren. Remember, Queen Ingrid left the ruby parure to Frederik and various tiaras and other jewels to her other daughters. You know that Mary will wear the Crown Jewels. It would be expected of her and that’s why they exist, to be worn by the Queen.
@@julianneheindorf5757The Emerald tiara that Roholi mentioned, is however not the property of any royal. It's part of the Crown Jewel collection and therefore is owned by the State. It is also the only tiara in the Danish Crown jewel collection.
Prince Christian has that presence of his great grandfather King Frederic IX of Denmark
I loved that blue sapphire and diamond tiara at the end....
If you have a title, only legitimate children (born after the wedding) can inherit the titles. That explains why Princess Karine didn't have children out of wedlock. People can emphasize with couples who use surrogacy due to their age and the obstacles in their love story due to the risk of losing his inheritance if he didn't marry someone his family approved.
You are mistaken about the bracelets of the Princess of Orange. She is not wearing the bracelets of Queen Emma's Sapphire set but the bracelets of the diamond and sapphire wedding gift set of Queen Wilhelmina. They have been altered slightly but are of a very different design than the ones of Queen Emma. The Dutch collection has two sets of two diamond and sapphire bracelets. Btw the Princess of Orange wore Manolo Blahnik shoes: the same shoes Carrie Bradshaw got for her wedding to mr Big.
That information was taken from the Court Jeweller is an incredible resource! Thanks for watching!!
unfortunately the court jeweller was wrong in it's description. Look at the photo's of Queen Maxima wearing the large version of the Sapphire tiara and the dress with the floral applications on the skirt. Taken in the Royal Palace in Amsterdam a few years ago. She is wearing the bracelets from Queen Emma@@RoyalFashionNews
2:24 Queen Margrethe's eyes are so beautiful
The necklace crown Princess Victoria is wearing isn’t the Connaught scarab necklace(the necklace which the voice over refers to is made up of multiple multicolored scarabs falling down a straight line from the base of the wearer’s throat down to the middle of their chest)
The necklace she’s wearing is actually queen Josephine’s stomacher in it’s necklace form. Unlike the scarab necklace It was not privately owned by Princess Lillian but it was one of her favorites to wear because she thought it matched well with the laurel wreath(similar to how Victoria wore the two pieces here)
Great comment! I pointed that out and got a rather short and strange response pointing to an other creator “the court jeweler”(who by the way had the correct name for the necklace). Brittany further explained that she referred to the style of the piece rather than the name of the necklace. If she didn’t say scarab the only other word I can guess she is saying is scabbard, but I cannot for the life of me understand how “a sheath for the blade of a sword or dagger” explain the style of the necklace.
The royal families often tend to discuss and match eachother for these types of events, I highly doubt that there was an official color theme and if there was it would be very strange that they’d gone with blue considering typically red is the color of Denmark while blue is for Sweden(and while the royals are related and the countries are now on good terms Sweden and Denmark remains to this day the two countries with most wars fought against eachother)
1. It is not dark blue but royal blue.
2. These are mostly ordinary 18-year-olds from the entire Danish kingdom (incl. Greenland, the Faroe Islands and the Danish minority in Northern Germany)
3. Prince Gustav could not have a child until he was legally married because only those born within legal marriage can be approved as heir. So that is why they have only now been able to have children.
4. The Greek family are also Danish princes and princesses because of the Danish Prince Wilhelm (later King Georg I of Greece, he had it written in that all his descendants should retain their Danish princes and princesses titles)
Mary looked gorgeous and some of the younger ones - just wow. Perhaps they were doing a bit of match making for Christian 😂😂. Loved the story of the ‘left behind shoe’. Perfect response. 🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
I highly doubt that. He is related to all of the Princesses who were at the party, and even if they weren't, royal protocol prohibits an immediate heir to the throne of marrying another immediate heir. All the foreign Princess in attendance, are future Queens. And there's an unspoken rule in the Danish royal family, that they must find a bride outside Denmark's borders. The last Danish King to marry a Dane, was King Frederik the VII 200 years ago.
💎I can’t wait till Princess Charlotte is old enough to wear a tiara!
