Pia Tafdrup received the Prince Henrik Prize in recognition of having enriched Danish literature over five decades with highly accomplished, original, and diverse poetry that explores countless aspects of the human condition. Her work is distinguished by its evocative, sensuous, and precise language, as well as its ability to engage poetically with life’s fundamental questions.

    Margrethe is looking more frail after her recent hospitalizations, understandably. It’s great to see she is well enough to be at this event, smiling as usual.

    La Reine a su ressortir cette jolie veste à carreaux afin de la combiner judicieusement avec la jupe rouge coquelicot de son dressing !

    It is always a pleasure to see workmanship like in this jacket. The lines of the plaid line up from the front to the sleeve as seen in photo1. Same with the side seams just barely visible. Nice colours for the queen. Her hair comb is a nice match

    She now uses a walker a good idea. This gives her at least a bit support. Hope she is doing well.

    Despite her recent health scare she is beaming and looks fairly good. Her blazer is a nice colour however, the plaid ages her. Looks like she has lost some weight too. Keep well!
