On 2 July 2026, Queen Margrethe of Denmark visited Nyborg Castle, a restored medieval royal residence located in the town of Nyborg on the Danish island of Funen. Since 2016, the Queen has served as patron of the "Nyborg Castle – Christiansborg of the Middle Ages" project. Upon her arrival, Queen Margrethe was welcomed by Mette Ladegaard Thøgersen, Director of the East Funen Museums, and Kenneth Muhs, Mayor of Nyborg Municipality.
The visit began in the castle's fully restored King's Wing, where the Queen toured Christian III's Knights' Hall, the Danehof Hall and the Nordic Hall. She was introduced to the restoration of these three historic rooms—collectively known as the Halls of Power—as well as to the interpretive project "The King Is Coming."
The exhibitions in these historic rooms highlight key moments in Danish history. The Danehof Hall presents the sealing of King Eric Klipping's Charter of 1282, which is also regarded as Denmark's first constitution. The Nordic Hall focuses on the Danehof of 1377, where Queen Margaret I proclaimed her son, Olaf, King of Denmark, laying the foundations for the Kalmar Union, which united Denmark, Norway and Sweden under one crown.
Wonderful to see photos of the smiling Queen!! The bright colors look vibrant and ready for summer.
ReplyDeleteThe Queen wearing one check coat over another check jacket is so bright and cheerful. The mixing of 2 patterns speaks to her artistic sensibility.
ReplyDeleteWhile I feel that the black in the outer coat creates too much high contrast for her light, delicate hair and complexion, I love that she has not gone for the predictable option -- which would have been an outer coat in a single colour. Lyra
How marvelous to see the Queen out and about and looking bright, engaging and importantly well. The colors are vivid and dazzling, marvelous! Her earrings look very interesting, not sure what they are?
ReplyDeleteColori vivaci ok, ma lo smalto sbeccato alle mani è inguardabile.
ReplyDeleteI don’t understand your comment Rossella. No problem for me that the queen has earned the right by this age to wear what she wants :-)

DeleteCertamente! Ma ho scritto dello smalto sulle unghie che sbeccato è brutto, e non dei vestiti.
Very clever to use an outer.coat to match her skirt. I would think it was meant to cover the other jacket completely so not to compete with it. I do like the bolder pattern of the outer jacket it brightens her face.
ReplyDeleteBelle combinaison de couleurs ; je souhaiterais mieux voir ses boucles d’oreilles !
ReplyDeleteEn härlig och intelligent person!
ReplyDeleteIt looks thrown together in my view but different generations think different and thats ok by by me as she looks like shes having fun.
