Prince Henrik of Denmark, the consort of Queen Margrethe, celebrated his 75th birthday today, June 11, 2009 with several events.
The birthday events began yesterday, June 10, with a lunch onboard the Danish Royal Family’s Dannebrog Yacht. Despite the pouring rain, the royals were in high spirits and greeted the equally happy crowd who waited to see them. The royal family also attended Prince Henrik’s birthday concert in Copenhagen yesterday.
Today, there was a parade at Fredensborg Castle, which was enjoyed by everyone, especially the young royals.
I have pictures to show of all these happy events, so here goes the rest of the first set. These are all from the lunch on the Dannebrog yesterday. Princess Marie looked fabulous on her first public appearance after the birth of her and Prince Joachim’s son last month.
